Last Night was very, very depressing!!!
Feeling depressed, Went out to Newcastle last night with a mate to meet up with this girl he's seeing and her mates for one of their Birthday's. Instead, we all ended up standing as close to the DJ booth as humanely possible in an overcrowded club, with NONE of her mates remotely interested in talking to me, I was basically treated like an immature child AND imbecile by my so-called mate and his female friend, I had to wait nearly an hour for a taxi with them (despite assurances that I would be sharing a taxi with three of her mates, but couldn't because there wasn't any space for me DESPITE the taxi having five-seats). Oh, and during the wait for the taxi, I discovered the real reason for his offer of a night out: It was to make his relationship with her OFFICIAL, and while sharing a taxi with them, they were constantly snogging. AND he call's himself my friend, knowing I suffer from Asperger's WHO hasn't had a girlfriend since First School (I'm 31). As a result of all this, I can't stop obsessing about last night. I feel so sad, lonely & depressed right now!!!

I'm so sorry about that.
Please take sleeping pills to sleep better, give up bad thoughts. Try to talk with his friend seriously and tell him the truth, that feeling lonely. I'm sorry that you have this disease.
You need to be sure to find more friends who will appreciate you!
It's actually one friend, guys & gals
That sucks. Play some video games or do something else comforting for yourself.
Mate that's life, not everybody is going to like you, all you can do is move on, your mate was probably just drunk and he didn't mean what he did and said. Also ignore what Karnedg said, never take medicine randomly.
wtf rude. he was just trying to help. theres nothing wrong with taking sleeping pills randomly. its like weed but legal. it helps with anxeity.
Self medicating with pills is way worse than self medicating with weed. And just because something is legal does not mean it is healthy or good to take, come on now.
Ditch 'em. If they're gonna treat you like that, they're not real friends.
Hope you feel better.
I've struggled with insomnia, and gone on a number of different sleeping pills. Papai is right; you don't just fuck around with random drugs. I've dealt with ambien-fueled sleepwalking, and headaches and grogginess the following day on different medications. It's all an expensive game of trial and error.
well i suffer from adhd and sleeping pills is the only reason i am still alive. i dont know what kind of medication u took that causes sleepwalking (lol, i seriously doubt that) but stuff like xanax helps this sort of situations. he said he cant stop obsessing over it and is depressed. what else do you recomend?
Jesus, how condescending.

There are a lot of drugs out there, and everyone is going to respond a little differently to them. You apparently really needed sleep medication, and your body responded positively to it. Great. But keep in mind that not everyone has that 100% positive experience when it comes to prescription drugs; don't try to discount my experience if you don't even understand it.
And going back to what I said earlier, no, OP doesn't necessarily need drugs to make himself feel better. Prescription drugs are useful, and I take some with moderate success, but they should be a LAST RESORT (especially when you're dealing with benzos like Xanax, which are terribly addictive and cause the most drug deaths in the US). Try eating better, or exercising, meditating, just about everything that won't hurt you before pumping chemicals into your veins and crossing your fingers.
hope you feel better now.
Hey, you still got us. Forum mates are the best mates.
I'd suggest telling your friend how the situation was for you.
That's like saying a father killed his wife, but then bought his kid ice cream and the kid should totally forget about his dad killing his mom.
Friends are a dime a dozen. Anytime you're in a situation that isn't comfortable to you, you should leave that situation. It's not fair to you that you had to sit there while your friend got drunk and stupid. He should have asked you how you felt about the plans changing. I never go anywhere with my buddies when it's a new girlfriend or boyfriend involved. They'll spend the entire night trying to impress that person, and you'll feel like the third wheel. It happens to us all.
How was that rude? Papai was giving advice because taking medicine randomly is never a good idea. He just didn't agree with Karnedg, christ.
Sure pal, trusting a depressed person with taking sleeping pills randomly (which is already a shitty idea without the depression) is completely alright. While we're at it, let's give Hillary Clinton armed nukes and give Ubisoft the rights to Metal Gear Solid! Anymore bright ideas? (also in case you didn't catch on, that was rude. Not what papai said.)
Life is tough man, and sometimes shit just goes wrong like what you've described. No single person has an easy life, even the richest person in the world has been miserable at some point. What you've gotta do is pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and make sure you know the cold hard truth: You. are. important. You matter, your life is meaningful not only in the grand scheme of this bullshit we call earth, but to other people too. Though it seems bleak, you do have real friends, and there are plenty of people in the world who have gone through similar, if not, the same shit you're going through, and they know what it's like.
It's important to know you're not alone and it's important to know you're important. Don't rely on mass quantities of medicine to make you feel better, because honestly it'll only make it worse no matter what. I'm taking meds but they're prescribed for me to help me fix myself, they don't magically fix me. And sleeping meds aren't gonna fix you either. You're gonna be okay man, you've just gotta smile, point your chin up, breathe and keep moving forward. Trust me. Friends can be cunts, life can be hard, but you? You're a single amazing thing in the universe that has a reason to be here.
You're gonna get through this, and if you ever need someone to DM and talk to about this shit, I'm always happy to help. Unless I'm asleep in which case if I wake up I'll probably be bitchy. But otherwise I'd be glad to chat.
No... no that's not at all what that's like. What the fuck.
Dude, his friends were dicks. It's completely fine to ditch your friends if they're being assholes about it. You can patch it up later of course but don't excuse their actions with "they're still people".
Sorry if I do not say so. But I was referring to a harmless sleeping pill, which is not harmful to health and can be taken without a prescription. I have that. I just had to clarify.
Thanks for support @abattoir
I would honestly suggest trying your luck with dating guys instead, but considering how this group of folks turned out, I'm guessing there aren't too many decent people of either gender in your area.
Ugh bitches I know how that feels
Uh, so he invited you out only to show off his gf/make fun of you?
Her friends, or "mates", definitely were rude. That's it. But I don't really get what your Freund did...I mean friend.
AHH, now, it's not that big of a deal, the past is in the past, you have nothing to obsess over or worry! Did you do something wrong? No. Just tell your friends how you felt last night and that's it.
melatonin?
wtf you can't just change your romantic preference like that
What in the ever loving fuck? How is that anything like this?
hmmm, well looking at this im not sure? I wouldnt be so quick to take the internets CUT THEM OUT OF YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW over this one situation, it helps if you think it over a bit more and maybe check with your friend. It seems likely it might have been unintentional. How long have you known them?
How did the girls friends mistreat you, because not really talking to you in a crowded nightclub isnt really that uncommon especially if you dont really know them. Plus really if there just your friends, girlfriends friends then I doubt you know them that well.
Also maybe your friend wanted to make sure you went home in the same cab? I mean he did invite you out right? He might just be excited about this new girlfriend.
No offence but this is the bit that has me wondering. I mean thats pretty selfish of you, because you havnt had a girlfriend your friend cant? Why cant they kiss each other after a night out? I mean the guy did invite you out didnt he? I'm really doubtful that was just to "make the relationship" official (whatever that means).
Again maybe you could just tell him that you felt a bit ignored the other day however I doubt it was intentional.
Im glad someone else on here is sane about this, I forgot how reactionary the internet is to any form of relationship
I hope those six likes are ironic.
Unless you're an aromantic non-binary.

Sorry, I don't know.
Okay, to everyone saying it's nothing like that, yes it is.
Someone does something fucked up, makes it up to you, does it again, and it happens all over again.
So it's basically the same scenario, except you can only have one mother...
No one cares
Wat. First of all, what the mates of OP did was shitty, but not fucked up. There's a distinct difference here. Like others have said, they were probably drunk and only had eyes for one another. The other friends of the friend of OP probably met OP for the first time and just didn't like him. Now, I don't want to be condecending, but it could be just as much OP's fault as theirs. People's attitude towards you is neutral to negative when they meet you for the first time, usually. OP might not have given them a reason to try. No one has the obligation to approach someone else with a positive attitude, and they also don't have to try to like you if that's not in their interest. It might be close minded, but their good right.
The other guys leaving OP to wait for hours on his own and not letting him in the taxi was a shit move, but again, not even comparable to your example. And it's also not really that shitty of the friend to choose to spend time with his girlfriend rather than his other friend. Again, they were probably completely shitfaced and hormones were running high. No reason to compare them to murderers. I'm pretty sure OP's mate still considers him a friend and OP just misread the situation.
Not everyone will like you, and not everyone will make an effort to. That doesn't make them bad people. Also, it's scary how many people agreed with you. I hope they thought you were joking.
I care you bugger
Someone not paying that much attention to you on an evening out= Someone murdering your parent
I mean seriously man admit you have one of the worst arguments ever
no that is your romantic preference lol
