im an 18 year old guy.
i have aspergers, which is an autism spectrum disorder. i was dxed in 2009. didnt bother me at first, then i realized that the majority of people with it never really find love, have friends,etc. like there are 40 year olds out there with it complaining about still being a virgin,etc. well, i wont discuss much about aspergers here because i know people will attempt to give me advice about socializing,etc. and i realize that there is no advice that magically take away aspergers.
so ill focus on the feeling depressed thing . well this led to me feeling sad alot,etc. it started low self esteem, thinking nobody would ever be my friend, thinking no girl would ever like me, etc. but then it became worse and worse and right now i think that even if i didnt have aspergers , the depressed feelings would still be there because it now seems that they have almost become a disorder of their own.
i have no friends either, nobody to talk to about this. i feel so lonely, all i want is someone to talk to .
im never truely happy. i feel hopeless all the time, worthless, like im a piece of shit. ive felt like this constantly for over a year. i used to do sh , but then i stopped because i realize that it left scars. i barely even come out of my room anymore i dont have any energy, im never hungry either . and i dont even wash my face most mornings because i always feel like this and just dont care about myself anymore. i dont feel pleasure in anything anymore . i feel like a waste of life.
how do i know if this is depression?
EDIT : can someone please answer
