Hello! (Sorry if this thread is in the wrong section)
I was diagnosed a few months ago with the notorious "Aspergers Syndrome", however there are several other problems that have been constantly bothering me and I was hoping you guys would be able to give some guidance and advice. During the last two years I have been constantly suffering panic/stress attacks on a regular basis, perhaps once a week. However this year, the intervals that these attacks occur have been drastically reduce and happen almost every day. During these "attacks" I sometimes end up very depressed, or extremely angry, occasionally resulting in self-harm.
As well as this, I have also lost pretty much all my motivation for everything. I don't really care about anything anymore and I can't bring myself to do simple things like studying or homework regardless of being a previous "straight A student". Pretty much all my life I've suffered severe paranoia, to the point that I'm prepared for "betrayal" from anyone and everyone. Regardless of what the public/professional opinion is of my "paranoia" I think it's more or less just a case of 'extreme caution'. Regardless of my views on this, I do admit that it has become more intensive and prominent in the last few months.
I really struggle developing friendships with people and thus, I have only a few friends. I've just become so secluded and hidden away from society that I don't even know the names of people I'm studying with. I really wouldn't be complaining/discussing how I isolate myself from the rest of the world, but I feel that it may assist you in helping me if you knew about it.
All in all, I feel like crap all the time, I'm no longer motivated, I'm having panic/stress attacks constantly, and I have no idea what to do. I seriously don't care about anything anymore and I have no idea what is wrong with me!? Does anyone have any ideas why all these problems have hit me at one time and why they are getting worse. I'm not trying to give a moping speech. I just have nobody to go to, I don't even know if any of you people will care. I'm just hoping there would be at least one person on here that would be willing to give me some insight (and potentially discuss) on some of these problems I'm dealing with. (I forgot to mention earlier but I have a lot of problems getting to sleep as well, not sure how significant that is though)
If you've read this far, thanks.
