I have battled anxiety and add for most of my life, and it makes normal conversations hard sometimes, because when i get super excited about something i tend to obsess on it, and it has its highs and lows because it works the same way when something really bad happens.

i guess that sounds more like manic depressive, but i was only ever officially diagnosed with anxiety. I know for sure I have a.d.d. because it is hard for me to keep a conversation going about the same thing, i keep changing the subject, unless i am talking about something that i am obsessed about, and then i tend to tell people the same thing over and over again.

I'm not much to try and self diagnose, but I am leaning more towards having anxiety as well as Asperger's Syndrome, due to my intense interests in certain things ( i am meticulous about washing & detailing our vehicles, i even wash, wax, and detail the lawnmower and our 2 ATV's), and having severe difficulty in social interaction. I'm not somebody that hides in a basement, but I find talking to strangers very uncomfortable and going to a party or somewhere where i don't know any of the people sometimes makes me feel so bad i feel naseaus.

Like many i'm sure, this is why i find so much comfort on this board because i can talk to everybody without having that "feeling" i get like if we were all in a room or something...
