Depressed because I'm anxious, anxious because I'm depressed, depressed because I'm depressed, anxious because I'm anxious... Celexa took away the anxiety so mostly now it's just depression. As you all know... I never shut up about it! 
I know how that is.
That's what I had to explain so carefully to my doctor. I was clinically depressed because I was anxious. Every time I had an exciting thought, whether it was good or bad, an anxiety monster would beat me up so I got depressed. When I controll the anxiety, the depression goes away.

I have never felt any sexual feelings in my life, nor have I ever looked at someone and felt that weird feeling that people say they get when they "fancy" someone. I don't even know what the feeling is called.
I didn't either till was 22 years old. Can date it . A "dynamic" rather than a person. Probably always will be!!
Anyway , my main issue is NEVER GETTING ROUND TO DOING ANYTHING USING MY MANY TALENTS AND CAPABILITIES!! !!
I have social stuff, and sexual stuff,( and the sensory processing disorder which seems to be co-morbid with aspergers, but which can reduce/eliminate with gluten-exclusion), BUT the worst is never finishing anything. Not so as you'd notice anyway!!

Nintendo RGP analogy to get into the habit of finishing things, take baby steps. Make your one baby step, like a strict ten minutes working on that novel, for instance, the best ten minutes you can possibly do. If that ten minutes is productive, great. If it's just making yourself sit there and enduring, learn from that but once you have that baby step under your belt, do another one and another one. You won't feel like you are getting better at finishing things -- until one day, using the Nintendo RPG game analogy, your baby steps experience points accumulate enough that you level up.You feel different. On that higher level your baby steps are more significant, you level up again and then, one day, you get into the zone, lose track of all time and do something really cool.
... maybe 10 minutes is do'able . I've tried the one hour/day , one page/day, first-thing-in-the-morning, in the middle of the night like Philip K Dick ( brilliant aspie? ! !), 30 minutes/at a time once aswell. But ... . Doesn't seem to have anything to do with the way I do "do" things that are good. Which is in obsessive chunks of hours at a time. But that never get followed up.Thanks anyway.

( will bear in mind !)The reason I said 10 minutes is because when I'd set aside more time to get something done, it would freak me out and I'd not even start the task or sit paralyzed waiting for the time I'd set for myself to be up. 10 minutes isn't scary. And a whole lot can be done in ten minutes. It's easier to stay on task when you know that you gave yourself permission to congratulate yourself that you completed a task and that task was to stay at something for 10 minutes. Give yourself permission to feel good about those golden 10 minutes because your earned the right to feel good.
