Not understanding how I feel?

I would never describe myself as suffering with anxiety, but i've just read a bit of a book on amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asperger-Syndrome-Anxiety-Successful-Management/dp/184310895X/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1337544870&sr=1-4 page 195) and that is my way of behaving in social situations as a child. I just didnt enjoy playing, but I'd never thought of it as anxiety.

One of the things I keep seeing in relation to anxiety and depression, but to be truthful I  feel more muddled. That's If I have AS (which im 99.999999999% sure I have). Did anyone else through the time of going through diagnosis feel unsure about there identity? I feel a bit weird on this front.

Can anyone recomend any decent books in relation to this or just good general Autism/Aspergers books for adults. I've been cautious not to read so far, as I dont want to influence a diagnosis. I don't want a false diagnosis if you know what I mean. But sod it, curiosity is getting the better of me.

  • I pulled a muscle in the gym last week and as result my ear was glued to my shoulder. I was given Diazepam to release it (given permission to eat it as I cant swallow drugs). It did the job and I realised all my teethgrinding stopped. I didnt notice too much why taking but since I have stopped taking it I've come to accept I must have anxiety as my mind as been a constant rage and I've felt mentally underseige since and the teethgrinding strated again.

    Thatcher, benifit myths and people whom avoid evidence are doing my head in, and I'm hitting self destruct by aggressively challenging people on FB.

    So long and short...I have anxiety. Probably sod all I can do about it.
