Moved to a new shared apartment

Hello,

I am 30 years old and  recently diagnosed with Autism. 

It is a month I have moved to a new shared student housing which I have a private room with shared common area/ bathroom/ kitchen.

I am so anxious to go out of my room and use bathroom or kitchen. It is been terrible with noises as well but I soundproofed my door two days ago. What can I do? Some days I can locked up in my room for 13 hours and it is painful for me.

  • Yes, they usually wake up after me and I found out around 5 to 7 pm they are usually in their rooms. Thanks for pointing out that. My brain got shut down with the situation and really didn't know what to do. Now at least I can write those times to help myself.

    Actually, duration of my education stretched a lot because of depression and adhd and anxiety diagnosis(which I believe those happened because I didn't know I am autistic). Now I only need to finish my thesis. But sadly changing house and conditions of living is a bit overwhelming. If I can continue my old routine and form new ones which they fit into my new situation then it can save me.
