Extreme anxiety now

super-meg

Hi. 

My anxiety is currently right through the roof! I have an appointment soon to get some medication for it but does anybody have any ideas how I can lower it myself for a bit just to get me by?

thanks.

  • Don't let them fob you off.  So many clinicians are not up-to-date on the female presentation.  Your son has ASC and he got it from somewhere.  I have AS and both my children have it.  It's genetically influenced.

    Go back to your GP and ask for a referral for an ASC assessment and they cannot refuse you because the Autism Act and the Autism Strategy make it law that all adults are entitled to referral.

    I created a thread which is stickied somewhere on the forum about adults getting assessed and it's full of information, have a look.

    BTW, obsessional behaviour is part of it.  You could also have ADHD too as I have likely got it as my qEEG brain scan showed up ADHD areas.  ASC often comes along with other conditions, known as "co-morbid" conditions.
