• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Do you know that feeling when no one understands you and you feel so frustrated that you want to punch trough walls?
Do you know that feeling hen you try to connect with people only to be horribly disappointed and possibly hurt?
I was thinking of making some kind of group of 4-5 people where we can talk about day to day annoyances that normal functional humans are totally oblivious to and talk about things that normal people don't really understand in order to somehow connect in a way that is impossible to normally do and finally feel that we can chat and be understood.
Was thinking of using Skype but alternatives are welcome.
Also I'm thinking of making an app to help with everyday annoyances for autistic persons worldwide, but personal social connections come first.

P.S.
I know that the Skype idea is very much not original, but I don't care as long as it works.

That is so nice of you to offer. I'm fine with just email, personally, but since you suggested Skype you evidently want something more substantial. I don't know Skype works, sadly, and I don't want to get billed for something and my parents ask,"who were you talking to on skype?" You can imagine how awkward it would be to say, "oh, just some stranger on the Internet!"

I didn't know you were on the spectrum, too, btw. It's tough sometimes, but I know we can pull through. :)

So they don't charge you? Explains why my computer had it on there when I got it. Plus I think my brother somehow uses it, although I figured I would know.

As much as I'd be ok with seeing your face and meeting you IRL, I'd like to be covert about it. We can continue this in our pm/conversation if you have anything specific you want to talk about. But believe me, I'd love some company and friends, and I really appreciate the gesture :)

I see, just as usual people it seems people with autism like to be conformable and complain about how no one understands them, this is an interesting insight.
Please be patient. You've got to understand, I can't just do things on the spur of the moment. I never do, I've always been like that. But maybe you could give me some time to figure out how Skype works and we could set something up later?
