Worry

Miffo

Hi everyone, I'm Matthew.

I'm seventeen and have Autism. When I started secondary school a few years back I found it very difficult and often had panic attacks. In the end I was home taught by my Mum and Dad, I have now completed my home school education course. However I do still have my problems.

Everyday I worry a lot and half the time I do not know what I am worrying about. Most of the time I worry about my Mum, she has a bad knee, I worry about my Dad who collapsed a few weeks ago due to stress and often I worry about my Gran who sadly has Dementia. I have come here to discuss my worry's because I do not think it is fair me bombarding my parents with my problems. So I'm hoping you might be able to help me stop worrying.

Many thanks,

Matthew. Smile

  • Miffo if the advice is not helpful, leave it, I have no intention of telling you that you are not trying to manage your worries (as evidenced with you starting a topic), or invalidating how overhwelmed you must be or how real your problems are. Just keep talking and pushing forward one step at a time, perhaps what you need is encouragement and understanding.

    Note* it might also be worth metioning that anxiety and worry are different things, do you feel anxious?

    (I'm a worrier myself surrounded by worriers so you're in good company)
