Hey guys. I'm not an aspie first off. But I wouldnt go so far as to call myself Nt either. I am bi polar. Anyways your probably wondering what I am doing here. Fair question. A few years ago I met a girl with aspergers. At first I thought she was a little odd but she one day told me she had aspergers and I went and read up on it and a light dinged in my head. It explained alot about her. Anyways I was on wiki and they mentioned this forum so I decided to check it out learn what I could to relate to her better. Well I noticed alot of commonlaities we have believe it or not. I can tend to be extremly obessive and very anayltical I analyze everythign (to the lament of my friends when they try to watch a movie with me) I'll talk endlessly on the thigns that interest me. I also have always felt out of place in this world like I dont really belong here. I tend to be a loner tho I do have my circle of friends ive known for years. When i get into my depressed state I can hole up for weeks. I also have a sort of resentment towards phsychiatric medicine. Ive always felt that If this was the way I was born this is the way I should be and they shouldnt try to "Fix" me. Yes its not normal for people to be "Bi polar" But ive always felt my strong emotions were a source of strength and something that made me different from everyone else. I tried their drugs and I didnt like the plastic happy that it made me feel like. I feel more deeply then your average "normal" person and i like that be it for better or for worse. maybe some of you can relate. Bi polar forums are odd places, filled with people always talking about their suicide attempts. I find the obsessive behavior refreshing its something I can relate too.
I dont know tell me I am not welcome and I'll leave yall alone.
Welcome to WP
I'm not going to tell you to go away, you are welcome here!
I have to say that I hate drugs too...I hate feeling "fake" emotions and would rather be anxious and depressed than feeling and acting something that was not normal for myself.
I have a friend who is bi-polar and he doesn't like drugs either. He says that they drugs block him from feeling what he is ment to feel...which I guess is like what I said before, they make you feel "fake" emotions.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy posting here and I'm sure that you will learn a lot about AS from being here.
