Hi and welcome
I am officially unofficially diagnosed: so by one who has a son who is an aspie and another one who worked with one. But am intending to try and get an official diagnosis in the new year, since NT who need to know, will only be willing to accept I have it, that way!
I do not need to worry about this time of year, for I do not celebrate, but do get overwhelmed when out shopping and cannot wait to get out.
I am sorry you suffer depression, but I am curious if you are taking meds, surely they should be making you better? I was on prozac for over 15 years, but found that they caused depression rather than diminished it and after going against dr's orders, I did cold turkey, suffered horrendous withdrawal symptoms, but one month later, all disappeared and amazingly, chronic migraines vanished; I lost weight and found that I wanted to enjoy the day and gone are the heavy blackness I often felt. I did a bit of online research and discovered there are two types of depression: social and clinical; I had social and that is why these tablets caused depression! I do suffer the occasional melancholy but find that natural anti anxiety tablets works wonders and for and for a long time, with no side effects.
You will hopefully feel very much better soon, just by being on here! I think it is the BEST forum in the world!
