well...

it has been 4-5 years ago that i have felt depressive at all
and now suddenly i am starting to mentally collapse mental pain turning into an awfull feeling in my chest and the urge to lock myself up away from everything and the causes of this are yet unkown to me

the stupid thing is a lack a lot of emotion but i tend to understand everyones emotions except for the ones of my own wich sometimes driving me insane or into confusion

i tried talking to my friends but since that i only have a few friends and well they dont know it either am i asking you guys wtf am i supposed to do

maybe your body dosent want to do new things or habits. So your nervers make a pain in your chest to tell you to stop it.
thats how i feel sometimes, try to learn how to do it.

Indeed, I agree that new things leads to anxiety. I had to present to my fellow year 2 nursing students my group project on asperger's, and ending up discussing it with them. I have never felt such pain in my chest before...

Truthfully, most NT's misinterpret what asperger's is, and lump autistics and aspies together (they either think I'm a genius, or I'm borderline mentally challenged, or I'm a combination of the two).

Anyway, that anxiety is probably caused by doing something which you are not accustomed to. As an aspy, every time I have done something I am unfamiliar with, I have felt this pain (eg going to college, learning to give a needle, giving a speech to an entire class, etc). If the thing which you are not accustom to is beneficial to your life, try to endure and learn from it. If it is detrimental however (eg some jerks insulting you) then try to avoid it. That's my take on it.

Aw, it's okay that's actually fairly typical for anyone. At this age, most people don't have a lot of experience with that sort of thing, and it's tough to figure out what to say, and what do the really mean... etc. I don't think I ever really got used to dealing with the flirting game... not in a cool or suave sense anyway! :XP: haha. Oh, and congrats on having a girl flirt with you, that's a nice compliment!

If you think you are suffering from depression you should talk with your parents or doctor. Sometimes autism can cause anxiety and depression from a change in routine, sensory overload, or difficult social situations. It just depends on the person and how they are affected by autism.

I definitely think you should talk to an adult you can trust about how you've been feeling so that you can get some help. No one should have to feel that way! Take care of yourself! 3nodding
