Depression

Yes, I have Aspergers.  I also have depression.  They are two separate things.  I see my Aspergers as being something that I can work with and it can be positive.  With depression, I honestly don't see the "good" of it.


Depression is one of those things that can make you feel like you are the only person on the planet when you're in the middle of a crowd of friends.  It's hard because you can see yourself bringing other people down with you.  It's annoying because you cry for no reason, and BECAUSE there's no specific reason that you're crying, there's nothing that can make you feel better.  You just have to wait it out, and follow doctor's orders.  It's even harder, because while you WANT to get better, you lack motivation to TRY to get better.  In the end, it feels like a downwards spiral.


So, I'm writing this post to explain any lack of blog posts lately.  I think depression also takes away from the quality of my writing.  Sorry about that.

Thank you for sharing your story. I was once diagnosed with this same disorder, although it seems like a lifetime ago. There was no ah-hah moment either when I instantly felt my shattered broken thoughts dissipate around me. But you should know it did get better for me. I will believe it will get better for you too.

Thank you for your comment. It is always nice to know that people care, and that I'm not alone.

I am pretty sure I am a depressed individual; I was worse when I was younger, but I still drift in and out of it from time to time. I suppose what I'm trying to say is, I feel your pain. But don't worry! I can get better, trust me. :)

For me? I'm just clinging to God right now. Trying to figure out where I fit, what I must do. Do you feel that way?

Anyhow, I look forward to reading more of your blog. Happy Autism Awareness Month!

I also thank you for sharing, btw. Good luck to you and your blog, and God Bless! :)
