    How can I cope with loud booms?

    Where I live, there are constant surprise fireworks. This always triggers my anxiety and most times I have panic attacks. The part of me that knows it's probably fireworks goes away and I lose control. Sometimes when I'm sleeping I will wake up to phantom booms. I can tell it's not real...

    Being touched by a co-worker

    I have posted before about being overwhelmed with this co worker that thinks I am her best friend and is obsessed with me. Now she is starting to touch me. It may seem friendly to her or silly but I can't sleep because of this, I'm so angry and feel stuck. Today she touched me under my...

    I feel angry when strangers approach me.

    For those that feel the same way but know a way to cope with it, I would like to know your secret. I try my best to avoid people but the harder I work on avoiding, the more angry I get when somebody comes around the corner and says "Good morning!" I never respond the way that they would like...

    Co-Worker Constantly wants to hang out and it's stressing me out

    I get along well with a co worker and I like to just leave it at work. We work closely so it's a full 8 hours of socializing, then it's not enough and she wants me to hang out with her after work. I have told her that I don't enjoy doing these things, I would rather go straight home after a...

    How can I properly distance myself from a friend I work with?

    I see her for 8 hours a day 3 days a week and that's enough for me. She's becoming too clingy, it's making me anxious. She has also started saying "I love you" to me and it makes me uncomfortable and I don't say it back. It's getting to the point where she wants to hang out and I really don't...

    Constant thoughts of suicide due to being bullied at work

    And by family members who are always trying to get me out of my shell and don't understand how I feel at all. I'm stuck with the job I have, can't find one with equal pay and skills. I do great at my job, when I'm there all I do is work, everything gets done. Co workers see this as a threat...

    Obsessive thoughts and worrying being around my husband too much. Should I distance myself?

    I dread going to work tonight. I have thoughts that I want to share but my partner has probably had enough of that. So anxious. I have been trying to distance myself from my husband lately because I feel It's what he wants. I have a hard time figuring out what he wants from me or how he...

    Trouble getting simple adult tasks done.

    What pushes you to finally go in and get something done or make an appointment? How do you get things done in places you are not familiar with? I hate asking people for help with these things, especially when they don't completely understand. Just got back from driving somewhere to get my...

    Being encouraged to have friends and failing to see the benefits anymore.

    My husband is off to his D&D game tonight, big group of friends. Just thinking, having a lot of anxiety over this and obsessing. He has tried in the past to get me to play, I like the game but not playing with strangers. He offered for me to come tonight so it took off that mental bandage I...

    Close friendships make me overly anxious.

    I'll be short. Have a new job and I'm becoming good friends with one of my co workers. Problem is, it's making me super uncomfortable and I worry about the point where she is going to start inviting me to things. She loves that she can be very weird around me so she feels that it is special...

    Need advice on how to handle new job. Should I tell them that I am autistic?

    I would like to tell them but I don't think it would turn out well. Nobody would understand and then I would be treated differently. I do want to be treated differently but not in the way that they probably would. I come in on time, I do my job, I obey, and I'm afraid to sit down or take...

    Do you find yourself to be paranoid at times?

    Want to know if it's common amongst aspies and what do you do to cope? It's not too often that I get paranoid, it seems to come in waves. I tell myself that I am being silly but that does nothing. I trust my husband but lately I have been getting a sinking feeling when I see him texting and I...
