Frustration but a lack of anxiety?

Goatworshiper

Firstly like most of the other topics I've started, I'd like to clarify I'm not diagnosed but going through the motions.

Does anyone suffer from frustration? Im really easy going but when someone upsets my I got for the jugulaar so to speak. My partner is Bi-Polar type II and I don't suffer with anxiety or depression in that way. I keep reading that teeth grinding is anxiety (which i doo), but I don't feel anxious. Unless I don't understand how I feel?

Situations were Im forced to look people in the eye, or reading a lot under pressure make me feel anxious/pressured whilst Im doing it, but vanishes soon as Im done, however frustration remains. I also don't wake up and feel depressed, if I'm feeling down it's normally due to struggle's.

    It means you don't have a clinically diagnosable disorder. Basically, everyone, even NTs, experiences anxieties, depressives states, manias, etc, etc, but psychology and psychiatry define various 'disorders' for which there are set diagnostic criteria, and if you don't meet those criteria you're not consider to have a disorder! Kinda circular reasoning, but that's how it works, and that's all it really means - you don't fit the criteria for any named disorder.

    And, yeah, I also think the root of all our frustrations, and anxieties, as Aspies, is the feeling that we're forced to live a life to which we are not suited - be that having to interact with morons, or follow arbitrary rules and regulations, or social norms, or whatever.
