Marknis, please try mindfulness again. It takes time and helps focus on more useful things.
I honestly think I am immune to it.
mindfulness is not for everyone and it can be a difficult concept to grasp if you're brain works a certain way but I wouldn't give up on it yet , like anything in life it takes lots of practice before you are proficient in it.
Are you taking a class or are you just self learning?

Really bad panic attack that lasted all afternoon. I even fell to the floor because I couldn't stop crying and wasn't able to breathe.
Do you know what triggered it ? and can you avoid putting yourself in that situation again?
I'm not sure what triggered it. It's like my entire emotional stress couldn't be contained. I'm going to work with my therapist because the panic attacks gets worse and worse every time I have one.
Is this related to you're ASD ? I have a hard time working out what causes me distress, ASD , anxiety etc
I've only ever had 1 panic attack and I'm not sure it was a full blown attack , I was in a group therapy session ( nightmare ) and just felt overwhelmed and sheer panic , I just mumbled something incoherently and had to run out of the session. I have never had one since but I will never go to a group session EVER again.
Good luck with your therapist.

You have a steady job, which many people on the spectrum don't have.

It's still not a job I enjoy. It also takes up a good portion of the day and once I am out of it, I am mentally drained from constantly thinking about how I am so far behind my peers, my dreams are unreachable, and I am stuck in a rut until I exit.
I don't even try to engage in my hobbies anymore. I sometimes think I should just throw away my guitar and trash my drawing supplies because I am past the age where I can actually develop talents in them.
you are NOT too old to learn. i'm not sure why you persist in espousing that idea. many of us countered it last time you posted it. and, if it's fun, why worry if you're picasso or segovia or clapton?
My mind just won't let me think I am not too old. It's constantly reverberating with the thoughts I have and refuses to quit. Whenever I try to formulate a new thought pattern, the old ones block it from circulating.
sounds as if cognitive behavioral therapy might help.
I just lost my therapist and she used to try that with me.

^ it tastes so much better than regular yogurt and doesn't make me feel sick afterwards.
I like the chocolate mousse flavour very much.
Trying to get over my obsession with that one so I can try the salted caramel flavour.

didn't the supervisor think you somehow didn't fit their profile of an appropriate client?
