Bad anxiety today

Hi everyone,

This morning I feel so shaky and anxious that I really don't feel I can go to college. I'm going to because I don't want my family to worry but I feel really restless and nervy! It's irritating because my medication is supposed to be treating my anxiety feelings, but all it seems to be doing is putting me to sleep at night (which is a good thing because I know from past experience that my sleep would be suffering and we all know that usually can only make things worse, but in the day I feel perpetually anxious) - I don't know, I just wanted to talk about it! For me, feelings are like moths; they'll flit around inside you more and more crazily unless you open a window (i.e. talk about them).

Any tips?

Thanks so much,

  • sorry you are feeling like this. Anxiety is horrible. I think it can be v hard to calm down, and lots of the methods for nt people don't always work with aspies. Really, I think trying to go easy on yourself and also finding a happy place or mantra??? Sorry if that doesn't make sense, I am tired! Basically, it can be a bit pointless to try and 'out logic' your anxiety
