My husband has Asberger and OCD and it makes his life really hard he glad that he his a support group that he can turn to when it need he dont like dealing with people at all if he had his way he would lock himself out in middle of no where.Where there no people at all :-(
being into death metal, being depressed and having long hair made me a target for pikey's at my school. so that made things a hell of a lot worse. also being 15 and never had a girlfriend...or felt any love of the sort, i consider myself to have a 'black heart' and feel eternally empty as a result. i'm desperate to find a girl, but i'm clueless when it comes to them.
PS for some reason, i never had the bollacks to self-harm. wish i had though just to realise my anguish in gory and brutal ways
i have aspergers myself. i have finally accepted myself...but that still doesn't mean i'm proud of myself in any way. i have no self-esteem, i say stupid things when i try to socialize with people...and at one point was depressed and had long hair, so i would spend day after day in my room with slayer turned up to full volume. although i'm 'healed' now i'm still unfulfilled and any talents i may once have had i no longer have. for the most part i try to enjoy life, but at the least its a drag.
I have all the things you have, except mild aspergers, and GAD too. I guess I've had these all my life, but in the past 2-3 years thats when my life was messed up really bad because of Anxiety/depression
As far as I know I do not have OCD. I am, however, a former cutter, and I do have problems with depression. Also of note, I have been diagnosed with Asperger's/
i have depression and highly suspect that i have atypical autism that's close to asperger's.., but i'm gonna get tested which was solely my idea unfortunately/fortunately.. I'm glad that you understand what you're going through as an aspie ^^ I hope all is well for you now!
Great video...truly a overcomer and talented. If I share a quote by aspie who works in mental health.(not me)."It is not our abilities that define us, it is our choices. It is not what one is born that truly matters, it is what one grows to become." You are a change maker and please continue to make videos that help others see they are incredibley valued and loved.
I live in a very rural, cow infested area so finding the right people for an accurate diagnosis was hard, but I was directed to a psychiatrist/neurologist who specializes in aspergers. They confirmed what my therapist had been saying all along. Since then I've had a confirmatin from another neurologist Ph.D. My OCD was easier to diagnose(the same for depression). And the self-injury was...well... pretty self-evident and diagnosable. THANKS for writing/viewing
That really isn't true, OCD can be formed from all kids of things such as childhood abuse, bullying or other negatives that people go through, althought I do agree that it is from supression of a certain situation etc.
Just pinning it on guilt is very naive, it's like saying anyone who has been bullied in school will turn out to be bad people as a result of it.
I have OCD but I don't feel guilty about anything, my earliest memory of this was when I was around 5 when there was pesonal problems going off between my Mum and Dad, so I'm not sure, you have an interesting opinion though
oh because you work with spazzes you know? well i am a spazz and not using un-pc words does nothing. i've been treated worse without the use of language, words like spazz and retard do't hurt me because i call myself that all the time, i am a retard, i developed late in some regards, i am a spazz and a dork, what really hurts me is how i react to people's reactions, and their words can't hide how they feel about me, you can't censor people, that doesn't take away the hurt of you being a spazz.

guilt is OCD, ocd is not choosing to deal with the problem in turn making guilt, guilt is OCD. guilt is a lingering repression, self conflict.

OCD is a bloody brain disorder, it's nothing to do with life experiences. life experiences can trigger it but not create it.

But you shouldn't describe it in a way that makes it seem like a mental illness.
Hjernespreng 3 years ago
Why not use the words "odd" and "weird"?
I have Aspergers and as long as I'm not described as retard or EMO I'm totally fine with being called odd. :)
