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 told one person in work, in a jokey way, about the first time I did the AQ questionnaire but after a later comment from her along the lines of ´Aren´t you taking this autism thing too far?´, I haven´t mentioned it again.

    Its really difficult to think clearly so I´m best just avoiding any stressors.

    I´m also going to try talking to my father tomorrow as I got mixed messages from my mum about my childhood. She thought I was very sociable but I remember it slightly differently. My one concern is I´m making up memories to fit the diagnosis. After all, I am just after the truth about why I am like I am, I´m not after a label that fits.
