I don't why but I go through stages were I feel emotional about everything. I have been crying nearly every day but it seems stupid because I get upset about issues in other peoples lives that has got nothing to do with me. Emotionally it is draining and as if I havnt got enough of my own problems to deal with. There is so many sad things in the world and it is like no one say's anything. I get really angry when I can't make something wrong, right.
Every one just seems to care about themselves.
Other aspies seem so cool and collected or is this not true?

I've gotten upset about other people's lives too, like on here, Aspies being abused. And I used to get upset about other people's lives too, lives that had nothing to do with mine. Now I just care about the Aspie community though. I remember a few months ago I was emotional about a lot of things. I was in the mental hospital and collected a few milk and juice cartons that for some reason I got emotionally attached to and they had sentimental value to me for no reason. :lol:

And then they say that we aspies lack emotion. BS, in my opinion.

Cool and collected? Me? I don't think so.
In fact I'm going through something that seems similar right now.
The good thing is that crying is a release, and that is much better for you than holding all those emotions inside.

I feel just as much as anyone, it's just that I am naturally cool and collected. I've always practiced diffusing emotions and focusing my energy on helping others. The fact that you are here and can console/talk to them means you in at least some circumstances, contribute to their growth.

You're not the only one who's overwhelmed by all the sad bs stuff in the world, many aspies are they just don't talk about it openly. I think there are very kind people who have AS but they are surrounded by those who are not and therefore have had to build a lot of emotional fortitude to prevent themselves from being overwhelmed by their emotions.

This thing always upset me: my sister tells me that all the times (she doesn't know about AS). When she's sad she tells me " At least you don't have emotions...".
The worst part is that she don't say that with bad intentions, so i can't answer her badly...

It could be hormonal. I get very emotional for about a week before "that time of the month". Everything will bother me, sad books and movies will make me cry, ect.
Maybe you could see if you notice a pattern?

I have missed one or two periods and so I took a pregnancy test bought from a pharmacy. Both tests came out postive. I read the instructions that it say's home pregnancy test are not always accurate and to go to your doctor. Irrespective about the possability of being pregnant. I have always been very sensitive to other people feelings and problems. I can have difficulty communicating that to people I care about, that I do care because I can be too literal and sometimes tactless.
Mostly, I feel so much I can't express it because I feel overwhelmed and I don't want to say the wrong thing.
Most of my life people have thought I don't care about others and only myself, even people I've been close to but only if they knew how much I really do. :(

I agree with the pregnancy test box, go to a doctor. Either you're pregnant (which sounds likely) or you may have some sort of problem that needs checked out.
There are places that offer free pregnancy testing if you'd rather not see your own Dr.

To be honest. I am wanting not to think about cause I am not having it, if i am. I am asking doctor straight up for an abortion and i no, I am not feeling so good of that. Nothing about this. I hate it but know there is no point dwelling. Sooner i see the doctor the better,

I made an appointment weeks ago. My doctor can take along time to get into see. I have tried other medical centres and GP's for years but 'no, it's always not taking no new patients.'

Some times I just go to the hospital and wait at emergency. I don't know how that would work in my current situation. To see accident and emergency because why they always want to know every detail, "because I'm pregnant.' Unless I pretend to have stomach pains, that would work.

This year I cut my foot and got a piece of rock in it. I went to emergency and they really patronised me as if I was being stupid but it really hurt. I couldn't walk. I was limping. I felt so angry with thier attitude I shut myself in one of the rooms and got a trolley and fixed my own foot. The doctor that I was his patient went and got a other doctor. I heard the other doctor saying, "I will deal with her" I was sitting up on the bed. I argued back and then just ignored them and stormed out. I know they get really busy sometimes.

In a week the appointment is with my GP. If I am past so many weeks, which is possible and it is to late for an abortion. I will just give the baby up for adoption. It would be very sad :cry:

I don't think that is selfish to give away your baby. I know personally I would struggle to bring him/her up. It is not fair on children to bring them into the world and then not look after them properly.

This is my opinion anyway - Don't sell your babies Give them away :?

I believe the general rule for abortions (in the US) is within 3 months of your last period. I could be wrong. The medical system sucks, I know what you mean there.
Usually if you look in the phone book there are some pregnancy crisis hotline numbers, if you call them they will see you fast.
But I guess another week won't make much difference.
Well, I hope it works out, however.

Thanks zghost :) I appreciate that cause I am really starting to feel. I just don't feel the same. I'm feeling upset like I am in crisis.
I am really not that good at coping with changes. I havn't noticed Ive got bigger but my stomach feels more tight, like heavy, as if Ive swollowed a whole plum pudding That isn't good! My bra's have got a little bit smaller. Theyre not fitting me properly. I am sick of having to try and squash my boobs back in some of them. It is just another thing to stress me out. As if it isn't bad enough feeling so nausea I sometimes vomit. It's horrible to feel that sick. Complain, complain, complain. It just isn't what I need this christmas or New year!
It doesn't seem fair that men don't get pregnant :evil:
It really doesn't :x
