Going through a rough time

Until now, I have been doing great with my anxiety and depression.
Now, something new has come up and I don't know if I should
continue with the program.

All of my life I have known that when I was born, I had a
brain disorder. Only no one knew what it was. The mystery
may have been solved.

It looks like I may have something called asperger syndrome.
It is related to autism but not the same. Most people who
have it are never diagnosed until they are adults. I don't
know why.

I guess in its early stages during teenage years, it looks
like severe depression or anxiety.

I am having a rough time with this news. I don't know
if I should continue with Combatting Stress and Depression Program
or not. At least not until I know for sure if I have this.

If I do, it will change everything. Seriously speaking,
I don't know if this program can help me.

There are a lot of things going on in my mind
since I learned of this condition less than a
week ago.

Right now I am concerned with finding out
for sure.

I have autism as well and once I hit 18, I thought I would get to do adult things...but now I'm 28 and I feel insignificant.

Next month I'm trying to get a car, but I'm a little worried because I don't have that much driving experience.

The Oral Surgery went well. The 2nd one was better than the first since I asked to have the bad teeth removed first and then the Wisdom teeth removed that weren't impacted/rotted out the 2nd time I went in.
