Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hello my name is Racheal and i was recently diagnosed with having aspergers syndrome along with bipolar disorder. I bet you can see how that could be a double whammy for me.

But anyways, I wanted to share with everyone what i go through on a daily basis and maybe even be open to suggestions or give suggestions to others as well.

I believe my aspergers is high functioning which most types are, but i do have the social awkwardness and things that come with the syndrome. I physically dont look like i have it, but i do.

I imagine things in my head like radio stations and movie channels and all sorts of wild things. This keeps me going and keeps me sane in my life. I cannot tell if it is the bipolar or the aspergers that interfers with my daily life and not being able to get a job due to this spectrum.

I am very immature for my age, but that too keeps me sane, i dont role play anymore, but i used to. But i still play games and what not.

How can you tell the difference between if its aspergers or bipolar or maybe even both interfering with your life?

Sorry i keep ranting. But i was also wondering if the aspergers causes my low self esteem?

okay im done now...o.o

Yeah well its always good to know there is someone else that is going through the same thing.

I try to talk to my group about what i am going through.but when i open up about the weird things i do and that i dont understand everything right away. i get treated like i am a child o.o

Yeah, the social awkwardness can also be part of being a teenager.

Thank you everyone for replying.

I guess social awkwardness is common amongst people with aspergers it seems. But i wonder if the depression and anxiety i have is from bipolar or something else?

Is it normal to have a bunch of different diagnosis? now they are saying i also have PTSD. -_-

I was diagnosed as early as the age of 2, I have had mood swings all my life but I started feeling really down since August this year
