Please someone help me!.!.!.

Oh sweetie, I do not know what asperger's syndrome is but I do know that you are feeling truly overwhelmed by your thoughts!. My heart really goes out to you and any one who has thoughts such as yours!. First of all everyone is telling you the truth but you do not believe them!? I know deep down that you know that you do not smell and they are not lying to you but on the other hand your brain is saying that they are liars!. This is called O!.C!.D!. my dear and many people have this disorder and it is treatable if you want it to be!. If you want help and it sounds as if you truly do then get in touch with your local behavioral health clinic in your area!. Can you talk to your folks about this!? If you have not then I suggest that you speak to anyone who you trust to help you through this!. You can not go this by yourself and you do not have to!. If you call any doctors office they will give you the phone # for a mental health clinic and they will talk to you about this!. You do not have to tell them who you are and they can not tell anyone (without your ok) about anything you talk about!. They can not even say that you called!. You are in therapy to help you cope and this is great!. I do not believe that you should just have to "cope" with this you should be able to get up every day and know that you are perfect just the way you are!. Have you thought about medication!? A regular doc should not be used for this but a Phycoligist should be seen to help you decide what meds if any may help!. You can also get on the websites that offer support to you and you can also talk to your counsler at therapy to maybe hook you up with a support group or a person(s) with the same issues that you are going through!. Just knowing that there are many people just like you can really help you!. You are NOT alone by far my dear!. Never be embarresed or ashamed of you and never ever be ashamed of what you feel and think! EVER! You hang in there and I really hope that I gave you a bit of hope!. You are loved my dear and going out on a limb here I have to say that God dont make mistakes!. He will never give you more than you can handle!. Just think you will get through this and then there will be a young person who you will help in the near future with the same thing that you are going through!. Your cool, and you go get the help you so very much are entittled to!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Along with Asperger's goes OCD, which is obsessive/compulsive disorder - you are obsessed with how your body does or doesn't smell!. You need to learn coping mechanisms to control these thoughts so they don't completely engulf your life - be sure and work hard at utilizing the tools your therapist gives you even if it sounds dumb to you at the time - they WILL work!. You basically need to "retrain your brain" and that will take time, but you can do it! Www@Answer-Health@Com
first and for most dont let those disorders take over you true person if you wake up every day you can do something to make it better trust me and if you know your body is clean than dont worry about it but i dont know if your sexually active or not but if so see a gynecologist to be checked on!. use a soap such as dove or something lotion your body and keep moister in your body dont focus on the disorders focus on making yourself better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
