    The end of social networks and social endeavour for me

    For many years since I started on social networks, firts on hi-5 and then facebook a part of me never got fully conected to the social paradigm those sites include. I've never been a very social guy, and I'm more of a solitaire and isolated person. My therapists told me to at least stay in...

    Living with a social NT partner

    I apologize if this is a topic elsewhere, couldn't find it with the search function. So here goes: I live together with my neurotypical boyfriend, with whom I've been together for four years. We get along really well and I love him to bits, but of course I wouldn't be posting if there wasn't an...

    Those bad thoughts in my head from camp 2 years ago is getting much worse

    Those bad thoughts about a camp I went to 2 years ago is getting much worse. I feel like i'm the only person in the world that has an issue like this. I believe that I now have 24/7 anxiety. My anxiety is only getting stronger. To make things worse, no one believes me at all and thinks that i'm...

    Was your social anxiety with you since birth?

    Did you experience social anxiety for as long as you can remember, or did it first become a problem and/or gradually get worse as you grew up and had bad experiences? As a kid I wasn't very anxious at all. I was awkward socially but I didn't really fear other people to the extent I did later...

    Self-Diagnosed Female Seeking a Formal Diagnosis (Aspergers Syndrome)

    About four years ago, I was speaking with an older family friend and mentioned that I feel like I'm different to others. She has known me since I was born and has professed in social work. She told me that, particularly as a child she has noticed that I show traits of Aspergers syndrome. Having...

    Role-playing

    I like roleplaying but I always struggle with what to say next. Or how to react to certain things. My characters always tend to be shy and awkward like me. I don't know how to be outgoing and stuff. It is quite a struggle for me. I also had to quit a few Tumblr roleplays because I couldn't come...

    Can't work and have a problem staying at Uni!

    Hi :) So I've had a few jobs over the past years, but haven't been able to stay in any of them due to extreme anxiety. Now a similar thing is happening, except now, it's school. This is my first semester at a university, and I can no longer attend classes. I just stay at home feeling miserable...

    How to deal with a anxiety attack?

    I just had the worst anxiety meltdown in the world. I forgot an important appointment and even though the psy of cegep said it was alright, I sob like a little girl and, because I had forgotten my supplies in a closing libary, I banged loudly on its door to get my things. Then, I went into the...

    Medication that works for HFA, ADHD, and Anxiety?

    I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety a while ago, but only recently with HFA and ADHD. I am having the worst time with finding a good medication. SSRI's make my ADHD much worse, but help with anxiety. ADHD meds make my anxiety worse and add depression when the stimulant wears off, but while...

    Share Your Coping Techniques...

    Not sure if this will help any of you, but I just wanted to share it and find out some of your coping mechanisms so that they may possibly aid me as well. Since I was a little kid I have been folding my arms across my chest and laying against the back of the couch facing toward it, it feels...

    Overstimulation through emotions?

    So, ever since I heard about the Intense World Theory it's definitely raised questions because I feel like my emotions are way more intense than what someone else feels and with those intense emotions it's like an overload and I usually shut down and get terribly anxious and depressed and have...

    Hi! Aspie girl with lifelong music obsession, also maths and other stuff

    Hi I'm a self-diagnosed aspie. I find these introductions so awkward as I had so many doubts about my own opinion on this. I ended up basically developing anxiety at the end of my third year at uni, but I know this is the root cause and fortunately now have a fellow aspie friend who agrees with...

    Today I've been offered a TEFL English teaching job in my town, starting Thursday and finishing at the end of July. Now I've accepted it I feel absolutely awful. I haven't worked in years and my teaching course was 5 years ago. I've never actually taught a class outside of that course. When I...

    Eating disorders and ASD

    I just wanted to share this because I thought it was interesting. I just broke up with my (suspected) ASD boyfriend. He doesn't understand that he cannot monitor and critique my exercise and eating habits. The last straw was when he told me I had fat rolls. I broke up with him. For some...

    I may have had Epilepsy -Complex Partial Seizure- (Need help/advice if it could be)

    I realized it today, I searched online to the reason why I feel blurry and confused in social situations and I noticed several symptoms on Web MD about Complex Partial Seizure and it fits. First I thought it was just general anxiety/social and my aspergers combined. But now I realized it could...

    Outlook On Life

    I'm curious to know what people's general outlook on life is, very high level - beit positive or negative. I've come to realise over the last few years that I'm a very positive person, I rarely get angry and I'm more willing to just accept (most) things for what they are. But with this...

    Hypervigilance/inability to fall asleep?

    Does anyone else have problems with being hypervigilant or unable to calm down or quiet their minds enough to be able to peacefully fall asleep? I've had this problem since I moved from my dad and stepmom's house to live with my mom, stepdad and younger siblings (judge me all you want, I don't...

    Is there any hope for me?

    Hi, a bit of a long story but I was bullied a lot in school, even the kids that didn't bully me still didn't accept me and acknowledged me as weird or strange, I often get weird looks in public and some pretty nasty insults, I try to ignore it. But it's lead to a pathological fear of all people...
