Any advice for an autistic person with(most likely) depression. Asperger. and anxiety?

I have never been diagnosed with depression or anxiety or Asperger. But I am close to 100% sure I have it all.
Any advice on what I should do or not do would be much appreciated. Unless it's a joke or "go commit suicide" or "go to a hospital". I have tried both of those. And it didn't help So don't recommend that.
have a great day. I wish you a good life.
I experienced periods of moderate depression for a number of years, am not aware if autism is an issue with me on any level. As far as depression is concerned, mine was related to emotional challenges from growing up. I gained relief in degrees from trusted friends and older adults I met through my church. I had a couple experiences with counseling in my 20s and 30s, which from a Christian spiritual methodology, gave me a measure of relief. My much greater progress arrived in my late 30s' when a friend recommended me to a very highly regarded psychologist in my community. The psychologist made a diagnosis and gave me cognitive behavioral therapy and other counseling for my condition that greatly improved my relationships and emotions. I also continued to keep a couple of relationships with older men who shared with me from the practical experiences of their life.
i dont know if this will help much but when i feel down i go out for a walk in the local park ,
and it helps me to focus on things like the local flora and fauna ,
this takes my mind of the things that have got me down
so for me a bit of exercise in fresh air works wonders
@sabutuma. I have no park anywhere close to where I live.
I started doing some physical exercise today. And it's helping a little I guess.
But I literally can't be a couple of meters away from a butterfly without freaking out. It feels impossible for me to go out.
small steps i guess even if they are beaten in hasty retreat from those pesky flutterbyes
its good that you are doing physical execise though , that has gotta beat just doing nothing and becoming more depressed
you are strong enough to recognise your problem not many own up to depression thinking it somehow makes them weaker
but it affects so many of us these days , and i wish that you get out of this rut if you can and start enjoying the life you have
keep warm keep well , you got the strength you need to beat this
Do not worry, be happy.
Nowadays all people are diagnosed with all kinds of disorders.
Mens sana in corpore sano.
Do some outdoor physical activity.
Sunlight and fresh air cure the depression and the anxiety.
As for autism and asperger, that is just the way you are. Some people are short, some are fat, some are stupid... Accept yourself as you are and communicate with others how you would like them to treat you.
