I have serious issues and want help.?
Okay, long, but here goes.
My problems may not be the most severe things ever, heck, I know there are many worse things out there in this world, but my problems are serious enough to torment me every waking moment of my young teenage life. I feel I am really going downhill-FAST. Last year I was diagnosed with mild Asperger's, and I won't say I've been depreseed ever since, but very darn close to it. Ever since, I have never looked at life the same, but now feel different from everyone else, and I am a complete failure. What's more, I have always been a bit freakish over germs and washing my hands. I've gotten much better at not washing my hands so often, but I've developed a controlling, even almost debilitating fear of contracting a sickness-not serious ailments-no, I am petrified of contracting a simple head cold or stomach flu, I'm so obsessed with it that I've caused myself a good deal of physical distress over the last couple of weeks from worrying about getting sick. I'm an only child and I hate it so much that I don't look forward to being an adult, for each of the given reasons. To be near me one would swear I'm OCD. I've taken numerous online tests for depression, each test stating I do indeed suffer from clinical depression, and should seek help, but I hurt too much to bother. I see no reason to look forward to the future.
What's more, because I'm so unhappy with my life, I've become envious of the lives of others. For example:
1) My uncle: He has a perfect marriage, a great job, nothing seems to bother him, he has a great
personality.
2) My classmates: There are these three kids in my class, whom are siblings, and I swear they are so close, and love each other so much, it drives me crazy.
3) My math tutor: He's 70 years old, so statistically he's lived the majority of his life, he's been through most of the problems life will trow at him, and if you believe statistics, he has less than 15 years left to live. Boy, wouldn't I like to be in that boat.
My classmates tend to think I'm weird because I'm so shy, and tend to avoid people. From what I'm written, what do you think? Do I need help?
P.S. I know this sounds extreme, but darn it I mean it. In a perfect world, I would absolutely LOVE to check into a mental hospital, just to get away from my life that I hate, just to maybe find someone who can help me sort out my problems and enjoy life again. This sounds seriously extreme, but I'm in pain here people-if it would put me out of my misery, I'd gladly let myself get mauled by sharks.

I can't say I know exactly how you feel, but I am suffering from a multitude of mental problems right now. I try as hard as I can to keep a positive outlook on life but I find that nearly impossible. I would have to be the most socially awkward person on this planet. I also suffer from OCD, paranoia, suicidal/homicidal thoughts, hallucinations, family problems, extreme negativity, insomnia, guilt, detachment from society, and committment issues. So just hang in there and try not to let it get you down.

Hi, try not to look at your diagnosis last year as a bad thing, diagnosis is good because it lets you understand what is affecting you, before diagnosis you know something is up, but you don't know what, now that you know you can look at specific ways to deal with it.
Do you think you would go to see a doctor or therapist about how you are feeling ? medication can help with depression and anxiety, and therapy is good in the long term to understand better what the main issues you are facing are.
If you aren't up to seeing somebody about how you are feeling, try doing some research online about aspergers and ways that people deal with it, social interaction difficulties can be associated with aspergers, if you are shy about talking to people, try having short conversations with people you don't know to start with like asking a shopkeeper how their day has been, or which chocolate at the counter they think is better, it will help to build your confidence with people, and because they don't know you they don't have any pre-concieved ideas about you, and wont know you're normally shy. With your classmates you could start talking to them by asking for help on something in class sometimes, or if you get to class and sit down and the person next to you makes eye contact if you normally look away just say "Hi" instead, don't worry if they dont say hi back just leave it at that, if they do say hi, great.
The important thing to remember is that things change over time, life has good and bad times, everyones idea of a good time is different too so don't feel that you need to go out and party to have fun, and take your time with changes, don't rush into things and take it all one step at a time.
