Right now I feel like I'm being overwhelmed with emotion. On Saturday night, I learned I've had Asperger's, at least 12 years after the diagnosis (I'm 16 and I don't remember anything about it, so I assume I was at the oldest 4). Ever since I've been filled with a sad and defeated mood because I used to think I could get better at being in social situations, but now I feel like I haven't been improving and can't get better. It's also kind of sad to think about how well I fit the bill of Asperger's; reading the description page on this website was like reading a story of my life. This sadness has been amplifying the anger I get when I get frustrated while playing video games or dealing with people. I feel like I'm getting out of control. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could try controlling at least my anger? My parents always just tell me to calm down, that it's just a game, and that doesn't help, it just makes me more frustrated, especially since lately they've been talking back to me when I yell out in frustration (for example, when I die on MW3 for reasons that don't make much sense I'll sometimes say "Really?!" and they'll respond to that somehow).
