Help. I'm becoming more anxious and angry everyday

[orphan]

Jusdifferent...

I let it swing. No partner for me.
Mine has a ring on the bottom, a bungee cord to a ring on the floor. It only swings so far.

I time my strikes for the incoming. The bag hits back this way. Or I beat it fast and stretch the bungee... keeping it off it's down swing.

Buy the heaviest/ hardest you can. Mine is 150 lbs? It hurts me back. It can break my hands, and has. I don't use gloves. Do use a mouth piece. My teeth are nearly all implants.

Start slow. Get a cadence. Extend farther into the bag.
Pop pop pop, bang bang bang, boom boom boom. Now I can knock it down, change caribiners, knock it down again...
turn in a bag of broken ones for a pile of new ones.

So I slowly work into it. No single shots while walking by.
No hitting it on the ground or it rips. It frustrates me to have to hit it gently... but is good for keeping my head on my shoulders.
I also do not hit a bag in public... talk about stopping the music.

Pm me for info if you'd like...

Have you tried study music, binaural beats that type of thing?

The right frequency sound aids concentration, but most others will harm it.

Spotify has some good study play list that I use sometimes for work. I do need silence for some stuff though.

I have the Brainwaves app on my iPad and it's great! Wakes me up in the morning, puts me to sleep at night, drains stress during the day.

I have also found that, for me, therapeutic niacin does wonders for anxiety and sleep. Here's the thread where I talk about it:

I'm doing niacin therapy

I have become very wary of psychiatric drugs and autism, but there are people who find one or more does seem to work for them. I am convinced that we don't all need the same things. But we all need something.

I do better when I try to hunt down what those things are.

Understanding a little of what you are experiencing may help:

Chaotic emotions
For caetextia sufferers, one of the main consequences of not being able to manage separate streams of attention simultaneously is that they have no easy way to control their emotions. They cannot detach from a conditioned response pattern and see the possible consequences of that response or consider other more beneficial ways of reacting. Thus they feel confused and out of control, suffer extreme anxiety and anger, and can swing between wild mania and the blackest depression. They may also have trouble with sexual emotions and their sexual identity. Enduring this emotional turmoil must sometimes feel like living with an unpredictable wild creature. Indeed, some people with caetextia have told us that this is exactly how it feels.

Maybe the sensory overload that many people on the autistic spectrum experience is because of their inability to process within themselves the changes going on around and within them. As they struggle to moderate their feelings, the only hope they have of reducing the pain that this sensory overload causes them is to try and control the environment and other people as much as possible. Because exercising control keeps their arousal down, and thus makes them feel better, they tend to do it obsessively. Unfortunately, as reducing their stress levels in this way involves exerting control over others, this raises the stress levels of everyone around them.

Yes, binaural works - at least for me it does There are LOADS of free binaural tracks on YouTube.

"Turn off all that mental noise as much as you can. No music, no distractions. Just the sound of trees."
The sound of wind in trees = aspie "ear porn"
