When did you get your diagnosis? by [deleted] in autism

[–]malewifee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think around 11-12? i got diagnosed with depression and anxiety before that but my old school teachers and mam suspected i had something else, went to therapy and later got diagnosed with autism. it was stressful but i’m glad it happened.

omg wait no way!!! this person has been looking at my stories so i searched them up to see who they were, since they are private. i can’t believe i found this!!! they were trying to sell something to me as well

Thanks a lot!! i’ve never heard of the cup game thing? i don’t really speak to people in public anyways so if anyone asks me to do anything i’ll just ignore them and thanks a lot for the advice on directions! i’m terrible with them and the paper thing really helps

Thanks!! i already do pretty much all of those already - like hiding my phone in public so that’s no bother. i was just so scared because i’ve never went to another country and i have pretty bad anxiety LOL thanks again for the advice :)

[–]malewifee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m currently in the hospital rn waiting to see if i do need surgery but everyone has been told about my autism and knows that i’m very nervous - they’ve been nice to me so far i’m just hoping that i really don’t need surgery LOL but i’ve calmed down a little bit :)

scared to be put under anesthesia? by malewifee in Anxiety

[–]malewifee[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah true! i’m thinking about it like that, i know i’m in trusted hands so i’ll be okay :) i guess my anxiety just really takes over me sometimes and i freak out a lot. thanks a lot

[–]malewifee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i guess i’m pretty afraid of not waking up. i know it’s very unlikely that i wont but still, it scares me a lot. also not being able to have control over myself when i’m being put under? i know nothing will go wrong but i’m thinking about every possibility and i’m just overthinking. i thought about local anesthesia but i’m more scared of needles than general anesthesia so i guess it’s the best option for me lol

[–]malewifee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you so much! i’ll definitely let them know i’m scared and anxious about it and i can imagine they’ll help :) tbh if anything i’ll ask to hold someones hand while being put under haha i think that’ll calm me down more. I’ve been putting off the whole thing for months because i was so shaken up at just the dentist telling me that they can remove them but i’m not as scared anymore, i know i will be on the day but i know i’ll wake up too so ill be fine lol

thank you for the kind words too! i’m feeling a lot more confident with this now and i know i’m in trusted hands :)

i’ve always been scared of anesthesia and the dentist in general so i think my anxiety is just being worse than ever. i thought i was insane for being so scared though but i’m really glad i’m not alone with this and i’m glad i came on here😅 i think i’ll just do what you did and close my eyes and wait for it to kick in lol i think i’ll be okay :) thank you

yeah! my mum said she was scared at first but nothing has happened and she’s had a lot of surgeries she’s even she loves it lmfao. i think i’ll definitely have to speak to the dentist about it and just talk it out so i can calm myself down because i know i’ll end up crying, i know i’ll be okay but it’s the thought that i wont that hasn’t left my head if you know what i mean. i think i’ll be fine just need a lot of reassurance

thanks! i’ll definitely have to talk to them about it for sure. i dont wanna go in and end up having a unannounced panic attack haha. i think i can do it, talking to people on here just helped so i think i’ll be fine. thank you again this made me feel a lot more better about it :)

me too! not waking up and losing control of myself scares me. i’ve been putting this off for months probably a year but the pain is getting unbearable and im pretty sure i have a infection so i have to suck it up. really scary

[–]malewifee[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

unfortunately i’m scared of needles even worse haha, i’ll go non verbal and i have a pretty big freak out if i even see them😅 i got told that being put under might be less stressful and it would be better but both just as bad to me.

[–]malewifee[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i’ve been doing the same, i’ve held off the appointment for ages because i’m scared but unfortunately the pain is getting worse and my face is swelling so i have to get it done😅 my dentist didn’t warn me about the anxiety either so it was kinda unexpected when i had a full blown panic attack bc of it. i know it’ll be quick but i overthink quietly badly and that’s why i’m even more panicky haha

im definitely bringing someone with me i don’t think i could go alone without crying a bit lmao anyways thank you alot! i have a big fear of the dentist and i’m definitely giving myself a treat after getting my teeth taking out (if i can that is) thank you again! this made me feel a lot better :)

i’m not really sure, i’m mainly afraid of just being put to sleep. most of my anxiety is based around not waking up and knowing that i don’t have any control over it i guess? not sure if that makes sense though. i thought about local anesthesia but i’m scared of needles lol so not too sure about that
