Please help

Hi everyone

Please help. I´m going through diagnosis at the moment and am expecting the results of some tests within a week or so. My problem is that I am suffering huge anxiety and panic. I have waves and waves of anxiousness turning my stomach over, I´m incredibly angry, I´m stimming constantly and I nearly burst into tears in work. I am physically in pain and close to tears again right now.

It´s not even as though I´m 100% sure I´m on the spectrum although it makes perfect sense to me.

Basically I need to get calm somehow and I´m not sure how but I need to try to do it quickly. I´ve already called in sick for tomorrow after only being back at work one day.

Any advice would be hugely appreciated.

  • i am glad my post was a help. 

    i am not a fan of the meds myself.  one of the reasons i resisted help for many years.  however they do help, just to get a sense of control, however limited.  plus i have to take several meds for COPD, so its just another part of a routine.  i would just say do not be afraid of the diagnoses, in the long term it can only help, once the initial shock sinks in. 

    the only changes you will make will be to make you live your life in a more positive manner, i do not have to feel guilty as much for being different, i know why i am different.  and i am not alone, and for me that is a good thing, and i am not crazy, or horrible or a freak.  i am autistic, and that is a good thing.

    the home studio sounds interesting, a good way to focus i guess.

    stay positive, and enjoy christmas with the kids.
