• 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.

    Kristen.NewCreation and FreeinChrist

Really need support.

Okay. I am probably going to post on a number of the forums.

I used to be a member of here, under a different name. AmberZak incase anyone remembers.

I am trying to find out what is wrong with me. Most likely I am High Functioning Autistic.

At the moment everything seems to be falling apart. I am having problems at University, where I am considered a Time Consuming pupil but I still don't know what I did wrong (I was asked by the head of department to have a meeting with him where he then proceeded to say that I was not doing things the way they are done at University).

My brother passed away 6 months ago. I shut myself off from almost everyone. I stopped going to church and all sorts. At work, I decided to go on a social trip they are running to a theme park. It was open to all. But then I am told I can't go because the girl who is organising it, doesn't want me to. I have never even worked with her, so I don't know why she doesn't like me.

Also, I tried to get hold of my best friend, and he couldn't be bothered to help me because he said I am just feeling sorry for myself and he thinks I am suicidal, even though I have never said I was, nor implied I was. I am NOT Suicidal. Just running away. But anyway, he really hurt me - more than I can explain. And I am supposed to be going to lunch with him on Sunday afternoon, with a group of us as friends. I don't want to go, but I promised myself I would to try and get out of my depression.

I feel so lost. I have always felt I was a puzzle piece put into the wrong box, but right now I feel really lost. I always used to think that God made me different for a reason, now I think it was all just a mess up.

I am also lost, because, from the age of 7, I spent every week, with out fail, praying that little bro would be cured, but he died instead.

Please be sensitive with me. I am very fragile right now.

What kind of support, who from ? God ? (He has requirements outlined in The Book for anyone who wants His Help. Then, IF the requirements are satisfied, even BEFORE they are, He gives HIS Help which no one can stop, no one can take away.)

To start with, He says in The Book that all men are liars.
Also, that He found no one, not one, who seeks Him (He looked, and He knows how to look.)

That's just for starters... ... ... ... ... ...

Hey Hazel. I love your signature. I wish my mum was that supportive and helpful with me. She doesn't really care. She has told me a number of times that she wishes I was a 'normal' child, and she has also said that when my parents were still together, if the house was burning down and she could only save me or dad, she would choose dad because they can always make another child.

Anyway, I do usually believe that God made me High Functioning Autistic because of a reason.

Also, my friend, we spoke. He was really apologetic. He said he was drinking with some mates and so didn't read the text properly. He didn't realise I was upset, and thought I just had some random news which could wait til Sunday (when we were meeting up anyway) and he was in a bad mood because he had had about 4 people ring him up to tell him they were suicidal.

I am praying for you. :prayer:

My first sense is that you are feeling grief about your brother. You should not seek a remedy for it, just let those feelings pour forth. That's the best thing you can do with it.

We, on the spectrum, may not always understand our feelings, but we feel them just the same, such as grief and shame. I know I do, at least.

As for your school situation, if you are in the USA, you can get special accommodations, even in college, but you have to identify your condition to the appropriate department.

Thats good that u and ur friend spoke, at least I guess he accepts ur situation a bit k ;) Its good that u know u got AS for a reason and I know that my mum would never do that to me, she accepts me the way I am and is fine with it, I wish ur situation with u and ur mum cant get better, if that was me in the situation I would explain that my high diagnosing autism, or in my case AS isnt my fault, cant u accept how I am mum, and I know that my mum loves me, in fact all my family love me, thats including my poppa and I know that they would never do that to me :)

When I explained what ur mum said to u, my mum said that what ur mum says is wrong, god accepts u for the way u r and this is my guess not my mums guess, I guess that ur mum isnt able to cope with u having high defined autism and I know god accepts u the way u are, I know he accepts me the way I am so u can b thankfull that one person approves and that is god, he doesnt dissaprove anyone who come to him and say god I feel that I have been dissrespectfull, can u forgive me, I guess god allways forgives ppl who say that :)

Hey Hazel.

My mum is an alcoholic, so that explains why she is the way she is, so I can forgive her for the way she can be sometimes. She doesn't mean it, and I ask that God bless her. (She isn't a christian, none of my family are)

You are right, though, she doesn't understand me at all. We are like polar opposites.

I really want to go to New Zealand. I am training to be a teacher. Eventually I will be setting up an organisation which will be working with children with emotional and behavioural problems. The organisation with be working with them doing creative things such as Filmmaking and art.

I have been working at a school that has a class of 5 Autistic boys. They are more than aspergers, they are almost fully autistic. But they can talk to us. I have been told I have a natural ability with them, but I have also been told that it is because I can relate to them, being High Functioning Autistic myself.

What do you want to do?

that looks cool :) I recently wrote something for the CFnewspaper, I might b a writer and I gave my permission for it to b put in the newspaper ok. U might c it in a future issue, here it goes ;)


Christian Forums :)
This is my article for Christian Forums I think Christian Forums is a excellent place to be and I would definatly reccomend this website to anyone who is looking for a very friendly place with Christians and they r a christian. I have become a big fan of this website and any of my friends who r Christian I would definatly reccomend them to this website if I go to Fever Club and I see a good friend of mine. This is the first messageboard I have ever been to, I must admit I did have expectations, very small ones but Christian Forums has by far exceeded them and beyond. People here are nice and friendly and I am happy to b a CFangel here. Thanks to Supermama I wouldnt have found Christian Forums and I thank her for introducing me here. I am very fond of writing and animals and I am proud to accept a invite to become a CFwriter. I have made a whole lot of friends here e.g Snoochface, 2scoops, zfawnz, Dean Anderson, hollypparker and the list goes on and on but those r the few whom I have decided to mention in this article bout Christian Forums. I look forward to spending time here on Christian Forums with all my friends and all my friends r one of a kind, they r awesome and they r all very nice. Thanks to CFfosterangel34, Gwenyfur and of course the head leader of this newspaper Kirsten.New Creation for giving me a chance at doing whats best, helping people at all times by working very hard and may I just add, I like helping people do what they want and helping people if they have problems about anything.

Tell me what u think of it ok. I no it has ur name in it and since I was thinkin of friends I instantly thought of u telling me to write something and that is what gave me the inspiration. I didnt have a topic to stick to, I just sat down and wrote this with carefull planning, what goes in the friends part is all true, every single one of it and I hope to surprise all my friends with this, ur the 2nd one to read it too so ur privalaged at reading this ok.

I am praying for you dear. I pray that you will know God's comfort. You are so precious to God. Try not to worry what others think of you- remember how very much God loves you instead. ( I find that this helps me to cope with social difficulties because of my Asperger's Syndrome ) . After all it does not really matter what others think of us, it is what God thinks of us that counts.
