I am a 20 year old girl with AS. I am however wondering if I have have another disorder as well.
I think I am diagnosed with depression, I can't really remember.(They told my parents about the diagnosis, not me)
I know that I don't have Seasonal Affective Disorder, because I am depressed all year, not just in the winter, allthough the winter is my most suecidal and hopeless time of year.
I just feel like I can't explain my behaviour and wierdness, allthough alot of it seems to be because of my AS.
Sometimes(NOT often) I get so hyper and outgoing and completely change my personality, wich is normaly very anxtious and nervous and silent.
The time I got very hyper or manic:
I remember one very wierd thing that happened to me two years ago, when I completely went over-the-top-hyper with some people I didn't even know at my school.
It was in the middle of the night and we lived at the school (boarding school) and I all of a sudden started laughing so bad, I couldn't control it, while watching TV with some people. I was totally disruptive, and had to leave the room. Then I went to another room and started dancing on the tables with another girl and I was so hyper and talked to everyone, everyone reacted with "Why did she change personalities all of a sudden?"
Exept the girl I was hyper with, she had Tourettes and ADHD and Epilepsy +++. So the whole night we went around laughing and tried to come up with pranks and stuff.
I never knew what to make of it, and the rest of the schoolyear, people told me to my face "You are SOOO wierd".
I don't feel "happy" after feeling "happy"
I cry several times every day. If I go one week without crying, I will spend one whole day on crying to catch up.
Could I maybe have some other disorder?
AS explains alot, but not everything.
I know I am depressed, I just don't know what kind of depression I have.
I just don't know what to do.
