That horrible feeling

Today at work I just felt out of sorts. It seemed that colleagues were blanking me ie hugging each other hello but I got a vague "hi", when I asked how everyones weekend was no one bothered to answer but seemed to be having an animated chat amongst themselves. My supervisor seemed to make a few pointed remarks about 'a bad atmosphere' though I wasn't aware of any problems. In my mind it seemed to be directed at me.

I've had a horrible sinking feeling in my stomach, thinking I did something really wrong that no one has spoken to me about. Also I feel paranoid, as if every move I make is being watched. Am I alone? Is this an AS thing?

  • I've been diagnosed fairly recently and before that I suffered and still do, from really bad anxiety. I'm just not comfortable in social situations a lot of the time and work is really a challenge. May I suggest Dubin's book on  Aspergers and Anxiety? It really helped me put a few things in order and find new ways of interpeting particular situations. If you're feeling paranoid, this book could really help :)
