Hi
So I have always suffered with anxiety and low mood. This year I found out I am an Aspie. Not just a little bit but a lot.
Sometimes anxiety or sensory or both cause me to shake. At night, like last night I wake up and I am in the foetal position rocking with anxiety.
So I am considering anti-anxiety meds. But...
1) I am worried they will change my personality for the worse and
2) as a side effect suicide is possible.
Has anyone been on these and what effects have they had.
Forgot to say I also need a lot of exercise to keep me calm.
Same for me - I injured my ankle badly walking too much. Ended up with tendinitis - never thought to do warm up exercises - will in future!
So sorry to hear you have nerve damage. I should be more careful with excessive iPad and iPhone use as this could easily cause me problems.
That is how I (probably permanently) have damaged the nerves in wrists and elbows because I ignored the pain and had decided it was nothing much.
Yes, makes sense! I did the same sort of thing planting hundreds of daffodil bulbs, only noticing afterwards that my hands were all blistered and raw!
Apparently people with ASD have an issue with feelings and feeling when too much is too much ️
