Anxiety

NAS77108

In 2 months I am returning to uni. Last year I really struggled with my anxiety there due to being surrounded by lots of people. Is there anything I can do to help stop this?

  • There is plenty of help if you are up for some reading:

    For the anxiety issues:

    From Anxiety to Meltdown - How Individuals on the Autism Spectrum Deal with Anxiety, Experience Meltdowns, Manifest Tantrums, and How You Can Intervene Effectively - Deborah Lipsky (2011)
    ISBN 9781849058438

    Asperger Syndrome and Anxiety - A Guide to Successful Stress Management - Nick Dubin (2009)
    ISBN 9781843108955

    Disjointed: Navigating the Diagnosis and Management of hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder
    ISBN 9781734794915

    Self-Regulation and Mindfulness - Over 82 Exercises & Worksheets for Sensory Processing Disorder, ADHD, & Autism Spectrum Disorder - Varleisha D. Gibbs (2017)
    ISBN 9781683730620


    For the surviving in uni side:
    Developing College Skills in Students With Autism and Asperger's Syndrome - Sarita Freedman (2010)
    ISBN 9781843109174

    You have given a fairly broad question so I'm giving a broad solution - can you articulate what issues you are having in some more detail so we can give a more targetted response rather than expecting you to read all the books please?

    I know cash is tight as a student so you can get the books from research sites such as Library Genesis for free - just make sure you will be using them for research of course...

    Hi,

    Thank you for the recommendations! I struggle to be around so many people which leads me to isolate myself. However, this then makes me unhappy. I also stress about deadlines and doing the work. Currently the thought of going back to uni is causing me to be very anxious and not sleep properly.
