Asperger Bipolar Crazy Mood Swings

Here I walk through some bipolar examples and experiences (a symptom of Aspergers). I still experience some mood shifting but I no longer really notice it unless it keeps me up at night. Others have noticed more then I have.

I have a friend who's bipolar. Not fun to see someone struggle.

[SillyGayBoy]

@SugarInHisBlood What does your friend experience with his or hers? I know for grown ups that have it; it can be really bad.

@ReiAime As for medication; I personally say don't do it unless in your down mood swings you are afraid of hurting yourself. Chemicals affect us differently and to me it just wasn't worth it. The mood swings may eventually pass as mine did; I'm a lot more level now.

@ReiAime Aspergers people process things differently. Tags in shirts, itchy shirts, we get fixated on it and we can't concentrate. While other people can separate sound or touch, we can't, we feel everything all at once. It was around 16 on I had a lot more social confidence; largely because of boarding school and it being a confidence building program. Aspergers people need confidence, they need martial arts, with it you'll have more coordination, better speech and eye contact.

@SillyGayBoy I have problems with sensory overload; I begin to itch terribly whenever my clothing touches against my skin in a certain way. I'm actually itching right now. I've had a hard time speaking to people since I started high school, and lost the majority of friends I made within a few months. I have never been able to look someone in the eyes without silent panic. I always have to block their face out to listen to them. My speech is very choppy, I get depressed every other day..and more.

@ReiAime I was suspected to have it at a young age; I didn't get an official diagnosis until I was 20. It's difficult for parents to know how to handle these types of things; it's not something parents expect to deal with and some would prefer to look the other way. My parents had 4 other kids and it's not something that received a lot of attention for me either. What symptoms do you have?

[ReiAime]

@SillyGayBoy When were you diagnosed with Aspergers? My parents are a lot like this, and I think I might have this problem, since every video I've seen made by people who have it seem to act exactly like me, and describe every thing I've dealt with through the years. I actually asked my parents about it once in eigth grade and they told me not to take what people say so seriously (Assuming I felt that way because someone told me to). I'm in college now.

@SillyGayBoy I think that's a great way to break the cycle, my parents (mostly father) were like that growing up, but we've luckily grown stronger and closer as I've gotten older. The ability to actually apologize occured sincerely when my parents and I developed a mutual respect for eachother. I know coming out helped our relationship. As for my brother, it's a constant work in progress, but he's a little more severe with his behavior, but growing. Thanks for the feedback bud. Take care.

@BlindedLantern Also you should know my parents rarely if ever apologized about anything and if they did it was fake because they were proud Christian people except maybe a couple times with my mom. I was raised thinking apologies weren't really necessary and because of this; with my kids I've made up my mind I will own up to my screw ups and let them know when I've messed up.

[SillyGayBoy]

@UnversedSong Can you share what yours was like?

[SillyGayBoy]

@BlindedLantern I was able to keep a safe distance from them at boarding school and college and our relationship got better over time but it was clear that being gay was just something that we would have very limited talks about; as was the case with Aspergers. Some people aren't of the mind set to deal with those types of things; and just expect perfect children. As for your brother; I don't think people always know when they are raising their voice especially bipolar or temperamental people.
