Autism and alcohol

SIGGaz16
over 2 years ago

Catch 22 and vicious circle in one. I sometimes drink because I feel stupid, embarrassed or alone because of my autism. I then tend to do minor things (that seem like major things) that make me feel the same way.

I'm in a WhatsApp group with NTs and my comments usually end the conversation. I feel liked enough when i see them in person, but my paranoia is starting to shoot through the roof and my decision making is being affected.

Anyone else on this level? Done with feeling stupid and embarrassed ALL THE TIME. Could really do with some advice. Thanks

    I'm currently cycling in a period of paranoia at the moment, and it's frigging dreadful.  Is it me, or is it them?  Paranoia is an incredibly awful feeling.  Alcohol is normally my go-to soother, but I'm taking a self imposed break from that stuff.  30 day+ achieved so far.
