Autism Driven Anxiety

Last night I only got about an hours worth of sleep. I have so much anxiety and excitement going on in my life right now.  I am constantly thinking things through and my head never slows down. This is bad for my mental health. I’ve tried nearly every medication I can think of.  

Recently I tried something new called Wellbutrin and it has really seemed to start to kick in. It is not perfect yet but I am starting to feel less depression.  I think I feel a lot of anxiety and depression as a result of having asperger syndrome.  I keep trying to fight through it and I am getting stronger with each passing day. Due to my social skills I do experience a lot of rejection and social isolation and I know that is a huge contributor to depression.

While I can treat these symptoms of asperger syndrome with medicine and therapy I cannot make asprerger syndrome go away, nor would I want to. I just need to have a good support system of loving friends and family.  I think if I can start to build on the support system I will be able to make great progress in my dealings with the symptoms of autism.  

Before I startd taking the medicine I was so scatter brained and all over the place that I couldn’t ven think straight. This made it difficult to even think about trying to build my support network of friends. I still have fits with my mood swings and depression from time to time but the depression has been easing up some of late which is good.  As long as I never get to the point of emotional state that I was in in 2007 I will be very happy.
