Hi watergate,
I am sorry you do not feel quite fit in on this planet. It is
tough to feel loneliness deep from the heart. I hear you. Your
topic is a good one. It shows how many people are ignorant about
the sorrow of others. Generally, most people are uneducated when it
comes to mental illness. I do not know if you have Aspergers but
even if you do, you are still a special person, authentic and
glowing at your core. Mental illness is just like other physical
illness. Do not fear, there are people out there who struggle and
walk through hell and still survive. I had been there.
OranDe made a very thoughtful reply to your thread. Do more
research and talk to people (online, if that makes you comfortable)
about Asperger's and other illnesses that you suspect you might
have. Just research, do not dwell on it. I would like to recommend
you a support site where I am a regular, www.experienceproject.com.
It is a global side where people from all walks of life and
continents share their stories anonymously, on every single
topic.
I understand your desire to be diagnosed and find out the facts.
I wish you well in your journey of discovering yourself. Please be
well.
