I'm new....i was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder last year....however...i'm not sure if that's really what i have....i do have deep depression and hypomania....so it may be a co-morbidity thing. I was also diagnosed with Anxiety Disorder.

However....i have been trying to figure out why i continuously feel misunderstood by other people. I even read on another forum how some with Asperger's have issues with phones.

I HATE PHONES!!! I text EVERYONE. I have even been yelled at and being told that i text too much. People have left me bc i text so much. I feel like i communicate ALOT better when i text or write. When i DO talk on the phone....i sweat profusely and i never know what or when to say something...conversation is just so stressful!

I always feel really awkward around others. I try to play it off like i'm okay but inside i'm boiling! I even have panic attacks when i know i'm going to be around people...i find myself FORCING myself to be social...because i don't necessarily like being alone....but i don't always like to be around others either.

I was thinking about going to get checked for this by a doctor....but i don't want them to just be like...yeah you have it...just to make money off of me. Idk....help?
