I believe yes because people on the spectrum are not all asperger/high fuctioning,potenetial einsteins,have have intelligence,ect.Even when U R aspergers',life can be very difficult with sensory issues,lack of normal interests,not really being in control of themselves. I mean,what right-minded or even high enough fuctioning person would want to go though life that . I sure don't

Ron Paul won the Republican debate according to CNN with a rating of 70% and on MSNBC with a rating of 37%, and with everyone I know who watched the debate. Yet, you only show those candidates who had much lower numbers. What gives?

I think i may have depression, but im not sure. Im uncertain beause i still sometimes feel like im just being "emo" or dramatic, but then i get so upset and depressed and i just crash emotionaly sometimes. Other times im still happy, even very happy at times.

Normaly at night though i just about kill myself and i have a million emotional break downs, almost every night. I've been suicidal for about three months, and for about two years off and on. i feel stuck in my relationships (romantic and friendship) and i've had a lot of really emotional problems latly,

so my question is, for thoes of you who have depression, do i sound like i have it. I have considered getting professional help recently but my parents would be completly against it and not very understanding. Do you think that this is worth looking into, or should i just try to get over it?

I lost my father last year, and since I have found that my brother and sister(on my fathers side) are greedy assholes who don't care for me, I havent spoke to them since the funeral. My mother and family on her side moved from Ohio to Georgia so I have no relatives near. All my real friends have been either shot or put in jail. I lost my car, causing me to lose my job. I have a baby on the way that I have no I idea how I can support now. I can't find a job that is on the bus line and I'm about to be on the street with no where to go. My girlfriend is the only one I can talk to and she doesn't even seem to take me serious. The fact that she doesn't understand that I'm serious pushes me closer to the edge. I've felt this way off and on all my life and this is rock bottom for me. I just feel overwhelmed right now. The only thing keeping me alive is knowing that my mother would lose her mind and my baby would grow up knowing that his father killed himself. How can i stop this?

Now, im not saying cutting is right. Im not saying i dont do it either. Yes im getting help but what ive seen is the looks on people faces when they see my scars. And how "gross" it is that people do such a thing. I must say its an addiction extreamly hard to break. Why cant people understand that? Does anyone really find the people who do that disgusting or inhuman? I dont understand.

My aunt and best friend past away on 4-27-2007, and it's been very hard for me. Sometimes, I am in a good mood, thinking and laughing about the fun times we had, but then I realize she's not here for me to call on. She was only 31. Does the saddness and pain ever go away? Please, no answers about God.

i am a 21 year old male. for the last year i have been dealing with extreme stress and bouts with depression. to make matters worse i have recurring bodily aches, dull pain that lasts for a few seconds anywhere in the body. my GP dismissed this as anything serious and i have convinced myself that i have a deadly disease. in addition to this, for the last 2 weeks i've been experiencing possible IBS. i always feel bloated, my stools alternate from tarry to pasty, and from loose and frequent ones to boarderline constipation. what could possibly be wrong with me or is this all stem from a mental disorder?

i use hand sanitizer all the time, especially at school (after opening doors, shaking hands, doing dishes, before and after cooking, seriously ALL the time). I think this is my biggest problem.

i have to have ALL the blinds in my house either open or closed (they all must be the same).

when i get a paper or assignment at school, i come straight home and do it (even if we have like 2 weeks to complete it!).

if we run out of anything at the house (toilet paper, lotion...), i freak out because i know i have to make a to do list. It bugs me to have stuff that i HAVE to do.

Big exams/tests freak me out. I usually cry before them.

I absolutely hate having dirty clothes in the hamper or trash in the trash can.

I am a very picky eater. I eat a lot but i ONLY eat healthy things.

I used to feel as though all this was normal, but my peers don't seem to think so.


Am I OCD?

I am a generally happy person that does alot of good for my family, friends, and boyfriend. In fact, I overextend myself by making myself almost ALWAYS available (even if I am busy) for them. I find that they do the same for me, but it is here-and there and usually rushed on there part. I hat e confrontation so I usually put up with it. All of this stress as well as the mixture of this weird whether had probally made me sick and habe diarrhea at times. I also have 3 jobs and I am in school, etc. I take a large chewable viatmin almost every morning. i get pretty good sleep on-and-off as well. Any suggestions before I loose my mind? Thank you! :(

My cat died 8 months ago i had him for 13 years and grew up as a childhood pet, he was part of my family and not just a cat.

he had vomitting and diarrea so i took him to the vets i payed $600 for a biopsy and it said he didnt have cancer and i was relieved and they gave him some medication and he perked up. then after some weeks i couldnt find him in the house, i thought he was hit by a car and for 3 days i searched the house. one evening i was checking the cupboard and i saw him sitting in their all stiff with a bad look on his face, he was alive but in extreme pain i could tell he didnt respond to my calls because he was in severe kidney failure.

i brought him out of the cupbaord and gave him water and he looked at me with sad and painfull eyes, and then sipped his water very softly and struggled to get up. i took him to the docs next day, they couldnt do anything for him, he was put down. life isnt worth living without him, i was already depressed before this, im in pain
