    Depression is usually caused by a significant (usually bad) life change. And from there we tend to defeat ourselves, and let it beat us. We come home from work, slump down infront of the tv, and eat sugary snacks. We go into self medication mode with food. these foods do lots of negative things to us, they cause the brain to release serotonin. The sweetnes of sugar gratify the mind because they fill the dopamine receptors or cause the body to do so. Very simular to how cocaine works. This begins a downward spiral however, as these foods also provoke depression, and mess with hormonal levels.

     

    Hormones out of sync is a recipe for disaster. At his point, you really need to fix what you are eating as soon as possible.

     

    The second factor, is getting stuck in a rut. You will get into a habit of doing things, that are unhelphful to your depression i.e staying at home watching tv, staying online until 4am, over use of facebook, alchool abuse, repetitive daily habits that you know are not helping.

     

     

    So to cope with it? change your daily routine form the way you get out of bed, to the direction you walk to work. Avoid the sofa, and go out for a walk and reflect on your thoughts. Go for nice days out, even on your own. Go to the woods, and just sit and be. Maybe not post on the forums for once, and just listen to your own mind ticking over.

     

    Also try and look to the futre and think in a positive light. Smile and be nice to others around you and try and keep on top of your chores. Don't let things mount up, and become impossible.

     

    Fix your diet by avoiding grains, and sugars. Eat plenty of omega 3 containing foods.

     

    The key is to keep on top and not let things mount on top of you.

    LOL If only you were around 8-9 months ago. This is a really exiting time for me to be on the forum, especially when members are posting as enthusiastically as you are. I dunno, some may disagree, but i've got a really good feeling, about the dynamic of the forum now. regardless of our recent differences, one can't deny that sa skimrande is posting pure magic at the moment, and then the icing on the cake, your enthusiastic reports to sa skimrande's posts.

     

    It's a recipe for forum greatness, and it's fascinating to watch. Hopefully we can start getting the quieter members to dip there toes in the water.

    Ah worthing a bunch of us claimed worthing beach on behalf of the Iron Age celts in 1995, whilst upsetting the local fuzz walking through the streets of Worthing town armed with sword and spear, they couldn't do a thing about it, it was great.

     

    But Nutbourne is that where nuts are born ?

     

    :lol: I think that must be the strangest name for a town ever, i might have to google the origin and get back

     

    I lived in worthing for 4 years, it could be a nice little town, it just needs alot of money injected into it. They've recently put in an £18 million swimming pool.

     

     

    Right, in a minute i might have to do Bognor regis, to London victoria :lol:

    This is intriguing..... However sa skimrande, i was one of the blessed few that was diagnosed early. So ive had a lifetime to fight it, (as i knew what i was dealing with) Thats's how (i quess) i can use my aspergers as an advantage. long hard road though.

     

    Still, i was expecting a much higher score.

    I thought of another one... When i get off the train I talk like a station announcer, 'the train now approaching platform 3' etc. I also list every station that the on board announcer lists. Calling at Redhill, Gatwick airport, Three bridges, Horsham, all the way back to Bognor regis. I really don't know why i do it, i just get a lot of satisfaction out of it lol.

    16/7/14 - I'm still alive and doing very well! And although things ended on a sour note nearly two years ago now my memories of this forum are fond ones. This truly was a place of light during a time of intense darkness, and I'd like to thank all of those who provided words of wisdom and comfort to me, just when I needed it.

     

    The conversations between LancsLad, darkshine and I, are ones that I'll never forget. Each PM and each kind post in their own unique way helped cultivate the man I have become today. Without this forum, during the early days of 2012, I don't know if I would have coped with my circumstances as well as I did.

     

    I'm editing here, as I'm technically banned from the forum and this is my only form of communication. I just wanted to bury the hatchet and apologise for how things ended prior to my departure. I should have known that I would not have copped moderating THIS forum - I capitalise the word 'this' to add emphasis to the fact that it felt as if I was policing friends and family. I didn't feel right, and it sent me into quite the spin. This doesn't excuse my actions, but please know that during this time, my mindset was far from a healthy one.

     

    I post daily on another ASD forum under the name 'Ben' - I shan't name the forum, out of respect for you guys, but if you happen to bump into me, then you know who I am. I'm pleased to say that the help and support I received on this forum, has given me the motive to help others in the same way. It's become somewhat of subconscious passion of mine. Whether I'm right or I'm wrong, my words always come from the heart.

     

    I'm sorry to deface an old thread, but to be honest, this never really got a huge response anyway.

     

    Hope you're all doing well.

     

    Take care.

     

     

    A question that's asked a lot is, what does my member title mean? well:

    0-9 is Norfolk Broads
    10-49 is Salisbury Hill
    50-99 is Scafell Pike
    100-249 is Snowdon
    250-499 is Ben Nevis
    500-999 is Mt Blanc
    1000-2499 is Kilimanjaro
    2500-4999 is Mt McKinley
    5000-9999 is K2
    10000+ is Everest

    A question I get asked very frequently is how do I change my title like you do warrior? well

    Go to your profile,
    Click edit my profile,
    scroll down, and you should find a box called member title,
    Type into that box what you want your member title to be,
    Then save.

    Your new member title will now show.


    Anymore questions regarding this, then post below.

    Regards,

    Ben.

    My mum printed off marc segar's book, called The survival guide for an aspergers sufferer (or something like that) He diddn't put it into production, he just had it online instead. sadly he died back in 97, he was only in his 20's. But i got a lot from it, at my young age.
