I am 35 and possibly suffer undiagnosed depression and anxiety, possibly also autisim or asbergers (dont trust doctors or GPS so can't get an official diagnose). Have been told I need meds (too scared to take them), have anger issues, no social skills, am dumb and stupid, hard on myself,  obsessive as well. Have had conselling on and off, haven;t seen one since 2009 after I had a panic attack/meltdown.(she didn't help at all,just smirked at me)

I don't fit in or belong anywhere. All through out primary school and high school, I was bullied alot and got into trouble alot too. I had the odd friend here and there, but no one I could connect to. Would try different hobbies-as i got told by consellors I had back then- but got teased for them and never found anyone on the same wavelength....it is the same today. No matter which site I go to for people who share my interests, or a group in 'real life' I never fit in, am the butt of everyone's jokes, anyone I reach out to just rejects and uses me. Then comes the 'teasing' over my hobbies and interests, that I am obsessive, that my hobbies suck. I had to leave a web site I was at for nearly four years-was just sick of the constant rejection from others and never felt like I fitted in and used by everyone who i thought liked me.. Now yet again I have nowhere else to go and feel lost, losing interest in things, because what's the point? I had no one to share them with. I got slagged off for them all the time, I tried to take pride in them and liked myself, not caring what others think but I still don't have anyone to connect to,  I don't get along with my own age group either, especially with people I work with, they just go on about parties and drinking and barely notice I am around.

 

I am at a lost at what to do anymore. I worry so much over this, I barely leave the house sometimes (I dont see the point, i have no one to hang out with and i just get teased for being wierd) and feel suicidal on and off. , please don't suggest conselling or meetups.com (had a panic attack two years ago before I was meant to go to a meetup, now the group wants nothing to do with me) or meds.

Dear christacat,

Be snarky.   It's all part of communication.

Adios, David.

I want to know what these hobbies are....

 Mine are, music making, travel and time alone. 

Time alone? Wtf that's weird people would say. Lol so what. It can be fun.

If you don't want to tell us your hobbies that's fine. But i bet they're not even as bad as you think they are.

If they aren't 'that bad' then how come I get teased for them and have no likeminded friends to share them with?

Dear christacat,

Good to see you back on.

Maybe even hobbies that are 'that good' get teased too.  I remember playing the trumpet at school and not many supported me.    Especially when the lesson meant I used to miss maths.

Do you have another topic to chat or ponder about ? You seem very alert and responsive but sometimes this thread reverts to what I might call "Hobby-gate" and then it's stuck again.

Wishing you well.   I am feeling pretty crap this week but maybe that is my hobby !

Adios, David.

Is your hobby to tell as many people as possible how much you dislike talking about your hobbies?

Dear christacat,

I have 2 brothers and a big sister who is bossy.    When I left England in 1990 they all gave me a hard time and now, 2013, it's just as bad.

Have you got any ideas how I can be nice to them ?    Every time we email or talk we end up abusing each other.     Is it even worth talking to any of them again or should I just put a large bucket over my head for 5 mins and hope that the feeling to communicate with losers passes ?       Do I protect myself ?     

Adios,  David.

PS    Dear S.A.D. - your last comment was a bit Facetious.  Lol.

I'm glad that at least one person got the joke. LOL

Christacat:

Are you happy being unhappy?

Give them space after arguing, then apologize or tell them how you feel...hope that helps

Hi Christacat I have a little boy with borderline autism he was diagnosed 2 years ago he is 6 years old now. Please continue getting some second opinions even go and get a mri test or blood test my sons therapist was telling me they are diagnosing adults with this at the moment. I have been on medication for years because i have depression also there is nothing wrong with that i have just recently stopped them under supervision from a psych and gp. My son has some social issues but with the help we are getting from outside sources we are managing it. If you are not satisfied on how you feel really look into getting the help dont worry what people say or think its none of their business put yourself 1st for a change you deserve it
