I’m 14: Asperger’s Syndrome, Bipolar Disorder, Mania, Depression, And God Knows What Else?

23rd May, 2009 - Posted by admin -

I am 14, and I am fairly sure that I have had Asperger’s Syndrome for all my life without getting diagnosed for it. Over the past few months, I believe the effects have become more profound. I am intensely passionate about math, philosophy, psychology, [theoretical] physics, art, poetry, literature, and ancient history. I feel that over the [course of] past year or so, I have become much more knowledgeable and intelligent. My mathematical prowess, philosophical insight, visualization skills, and raw intelligence have increased noticeably. Correspondingly, however, I have had increasing headaches [both in longevity and severity]. I have very low self-esteem. I do not enjoy “normal” social interaction, and when in social situations I feel mostly fear and anxiety. Recently, this anxiety has become terrible. I do not mind the social awkwardness, but psychologically I am deteriorating, and that has affected me deeply. I’ve had extreme highs and lows emotionally.
