Posting more

blank space

I get bad anxiety which is why I post rarely. But I feel I'm missing out, like when I'm too anxious to go out so I'm trying to post more. Does anyone else get too anxious to post? I want to be involved more. Just waiting for the anxiety to settle and give me a break.

    It happens to all of us from time to time, even the more prolific posters like myself.

    I would like to recommend some reading material that may help:

    An Aspie's Guide to Overcoming Anxiety - Attwood, Tony, Evans, Craig R., Lesko, Anita (2015)

    eISBN 9781784501198

    It has a number of autistic peoples own experiences of anxiety and how they deal with it so may offer techniques that can work for you. I found the meditation and mindfulness strategies work best for me and with practice and engage them and take on almost any situation with a few minutes notice, or wing it at a moments notice if I need too (but then I need time to come off the stress after).

    Not everyone will find this works for them, but there are plenty of other suggestions that may click with you.

    I've not heard of that book before but I'm going to try that for myself as well.

    A little help in the anxiety department would be niceBlush
