Hello, my name is Craig, I live in south Wales.

I like music and reading, and my computer, and watching TV. I do photography when I feel up to it, a bit of writing and drwing too. Music is probably the biggest thing that helps me to carry on.

I have been feeling increasingly anxious, especially this last week actually, just typing this is a monumental obstacle, I hate talking about myself, I don't know myself very well. I have no friends, I want to go out and make friends but my communication problems and my anxiety stop me, which then makes my depression worse as I am weak and unable to do the things i want.

I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome when I was 10, and i think I went through my teens knowing I was different to everybody else, I went to a school for people with learning disabilities, and even there I felt weird and unable to fit.

My mum just saw me and sees me as a brat, my dad abandoned me basically, so I have an overwhelming feeling of being alone, and I'm scared I will always be alone.

All i want is for my life to be settled and simple and for me to get the help I need so my Asperger's to not be a problem.

I should also mention that I am quite badly depressed, which clearly does not help. Antidepressants have not worked.

I have probably left more questions than answers, but there it is.
