I was wondering if anyone else struggles with any form of severe depression/anxiety while also coping with Asperger's? I'm sure if I read through some of the previous threads I'd find more of you like me.
I ask because I need help.
I need help because relationships are hard, romantic and not, and waking up everyday is one of my most difficult struggles.
I feel like damaged goods; like a burden--I get upset when I feel like I'm not being paid attention to and melt down (even though in reality I spend basically every second with my boyfriend [I even work with him]), it's impossible for me to maintain friendships because there's always that voice in the back of my head saying: "they don't actually want to be your friend". No matter how much sleep I get I'm always tired.
Little things can set me off on meltdowns.
Is there anyone here who can relate? How do you cope? Do you have any relaxation methods? How can I communicate without melting down first?
