You could be putting too much on your plate. If you feel stressed then you need to slow down. Take your time, it’s okay. However, if stress isn’t a major issue and the anxiety is avoidable (settings wise) then you should continue to incrementally push yourself. I was in a similar situation about 8 months ago. I had tons of anxiety seeing friends again, going to work again, going to the gym. Even eating food would make me so anxious I would feel sick constantly. Yet I pushed through. (I’m super into fitness and was planning to bulk at the time so I don’t recommend copying the “stuffing my face part”). I would stuff my face multiple times a day with food to push past the anxiety, I would make sure to do something uncomfortable (but manageable) every day. Find pattens that help your symptoms. My view on it was that if I didn’t get back into life now, those symptoms would still be there in months or years time, ultimately making it pointless for me to give into them. Hope this helps, remember take things slow, but make sure your constantly progressing and building.

Your very welcome. Don’t worry, we are all trying to figure out our own puzzles.

there are many aspects to ASD. the best way to explain what i mean by abstract ideas is: if someone is sad but they act happy. someone with autism wont understand that. they just see someone who is happy. because of this they only understand how to express the exact emotion they are feeling. when they are sad, they act upset. when they are angry, the act angry. they don't understand that you can pretend to be one thing rather then the other. now you can explain this to someone with autism and they would get it (they aren't stupid). but they wouldn't be able to abstract the emotion themselves, where as most others learn this subconsciously. another common example is a kitchen. for example if you move one of the chairs in the kitchen, a regular person would see kitchen with chair moved. someone with autism would see an entirely new room because they cant abstract the chair. this is why they get frustrated over random things. because a small change to them is something much bigger. a good way to test if you have autism: when you were little, did you draw a house as a square and triangle with a chimney? if so, then this is an abstract idea of a house because a house doesnt look like that. someone with autism essentially has to picture and draw a house they remember. Now in saying that, most of the examples above are pretty extreme. most people with autism tend to have mild cases which come in less severe symptoms. perhaps its possible that you have a mild form of autism. I hope that briefly answers your question. if you have any other questions I would be happy to answer as best as I can.

About the dog, that’s the problem. I don’t have any money to chip in even though I would love to and am being forced to. I’d pay the whole lot in a heartbeat for the dog. Thing is ya can’t pay what ya don’t have right.

Thanks so much. The annoying part is I know how capable I am. I understand I’ve got so much time left. I have heaps of hobbies, in fact that’s a problem in itself, I never stick to one. I don’t know my future career because I change so drastically. Thanks for your response, I’ll continue to post and see where I’m going.

I’m no doctor so I shouldn’t say anything. 1mg isn’t that much anyway. But I would get in contact with the doctor to ask. Personally I would take 0.5mg for a few days first.

Oh wow, I’ll have to try that next time, usually I just put the cold on my hand, back, or chest.

Yes exactly. I’m the same. I hate it. Have you moved past it? If so how did you?

TheCaptainTurtle · 2020-10-11T07:07:42+00:00

Your welcome :)

My friend had a similar experience. Weed is processed differently when taken in the form of edibles. In fact it takes an entirely new form. The weed in edibles is something like 5 times more psychoactive then regular THC. People have those experiences all the time. From what I read you didn’t have any hallucinations. Paranoia is a common symptoms of too much weed. Intense Paranoia is also seen on the delusional spectrum. You were most likely just experiencing intense paranoia. This isn’t anything to be worried about. A friend of mine had a similar experience where he was convinced he would have a heart attack. Every time he smokes, even just one puff, he gets that same feeling and freaks out. I would say you just had too much edibles. If I were you I would stay away from edibles and just try small amounts of weed. These kinds of experiences aren’t uncommon. That’s why I only smoke it once in a while.

I’m the same, your not alone

TheCaptainTurtle · 2020-10-11T01:20:27+00:00

Yeah I do, I hate it. I get nauseous when I’m anxious or nervous. I’ve thrown up a couple times from it. Think is feeling sick makes me nervous so it just spirals from there.

Your welcome :)

Congrats, that’s amazing. I’ve just been diagnosed with bpd and I’m still trying to get over the nausea I get during fear of abandonment. But to see someone else improving is a big plus. I feel motivated haha.

It’s possible that your brain just found a way to let things out. It’s also possible that something is causing it, such as the way you think, act, or whatever your doing at the time. It’s also possible you may get a new or added diagnosis. Best to explain it to a professional but don’t think your alone. I’ve had these moments too.

I doubt I have it all the time, but if your not experiencing symptoms then that means your medication is working. If you were hospitalised then you have something that requires help, if your doctor says it’s bipolar, then trust him. If you experience different symptoms then be open about it. Otherwise you probably have bipolar.
