I happen to have anxiety on top of my Aspergers. Is there anyone else with a similar situation? How do you cope with it?

"A dash of anxiety " You must be one of "the chosen few". Seriously, a dash? Are you sure you have autism? Just playing. Uhh yeah ANXIETY. ALL DAY. EVERY DAY.I happen to have anxiety on top of my Aspergers. Is there anyone else with a similar situation? How do you cope with it?

Does your anxiety get too strong on its own? To the point you have a panic attack?
Yes. That was the point when I sought out a pharmaceutical solution.
I just wanted to know if I was just making myself have a panic attack.
I get anxious each time my routine is interrupted. I was anxious the other day, just because a nurse was coming over to take blood from me. Not because of the injection ( happily that does not bother me), but just because it was interrupting my normal routine and she was even late, which caused my anxiety to go sky high.
I hope I can persuade my therapist to put me on beta blockers, because anxiety causes a rapid heart beat, which is bad for the body.
I feel relieved it is not a daily battle, as I know so for many others and I do feel so much for them.
Oh and the only way the anxiety goes away, is when either the subject is over or cancelled. I can talk logic to myself and it will work for a fraction of a second, but anxiety kicks in fast.
Hate it with a passion.
