My brother aged 60 years has his assessment tomorrow.
He has lead an extremely l9nely life, not kniwing what is wrong with him. Psychiatrists saying he is anxious and have been of no help and have even caused him further suffering by their dusmissal of his struggles. Well tomorrow may well give him the answers that he has been looking for.

I have generalised anxiety disorder as well as being autistic and when it's really bad I definitely have the experience you've described. To be honest, my therapist has said that speaking out loud as a way to handle those anxious thoughts is absolutely fine- I do get embarrassed if I catch myself doing it in public as it's often a sign of an imminent meltdown, but it's not doing anybody any harm and probably does me some good.
Hi
