Anxiety, self-harm

Crochetcake

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and I suffer with aspergers syndrome.

I wonder if anyone has had the same issues as myself, I often feel lonely and isolated and sometimes cry in social or anxious situations. I feel as though I have no control over my emotions at all. Sometimes, I become so anxious that I harm myself.

Does anyone else suffer with this? Is this common and what do you do to cope?

  • tho i dont have aspergers i have social problems so yes i understand that, very well :-( and my partner who has aspergers understands your stress in these situations he has never harmed himself like that, tho he has very rarely out of frustration accidentally hurt himself 

    and yes when he's frustrated, angry, or stressed he sometimes doesn't have a lot of control over how it comes out, he tends to be more sarcastic or mean tho not emotional or upset

    We try to limit his stress, tho it's not always possible obviously , and when it isnt possible thats when he tends to act frustrated, as most of the time he cal relax via computer games at home, but outside its a different thing

    I honestly don't know how he copes, i ask him this all the time, only today i asked him again, how does he cope with all the noises and random things that we nt's dont notice, he says most of the time he can just seperate the noises, and was talking about how instead of listening he looks, and uses his sight which detracts from the hearing

    If you are hurting yourself you need to try to find a way to let that frustration out that isnt hurting yourself, like listening to your fave songs, or playing your fave games, just taking whatever time you need to do what helps you get that out and feel better

    If it's possible, you could try some medication, but i think its more helpful to also try to deal with the problem and find ways around it
