Reactions too strong?

NAS73180

Does anyone else find workplaces difficult in terms of apparently ordinary interactions? 


At work last night a colleague said something and it felt like my world ended.  I know intellectually that nothing was wrong but I felt like I wanted to die.
It passed and I am glad I did mot assault  them, resign or kill myself.   I feel as if I am not ‘cut out’ for life sometimes.  I have been in this job for eight years full time and I pay the mortgage etc but occasionally  I feel as if I am being tortured - temporarily - in a strange type of cage.

Is this over sensitive reaction autism or just what it’s like to be an ordinary human?

    It feels like it's an absolutely huge thing, but others don't see it that way. I get laughed at when at work for having a vent or  getting really overwhelmed by something others see as being so very small. I get frustrated because I can't convey how much it has affected me and then I'm stuck in a cycle. I know that doesn't help you, just letting you know that you are so not alone.
