I'm anxious and obsessed

Post Reply New Topic

Hi all. I'm living a very difficult life because i have both Aspergers syndrome and social anxiety. Yes, this happened when i'm born. God gave me autistic brain and put too much neurons in it to make me anxious and nervous. Then he sent me to the world as a punishment. I have too much problems but my biggest problems are:

1. Autism
2. Social anxiety
3. Obsession

Let me explain.

1. I'm autistic. Yes, i have high functioning autism or Aspergers syndrome. Because i have less social skills than other people. I cant act like NT people.

2. I'm anxious. This is the worst thing that can happen. Yes, anxiety is even worse than autism, trust me. When i go out, or i'm in a crowd of people i cant be relaxed. I feel like everyone is watching me. I'm starting to get nervous and acting like a robot. Then more people look at me, and i draw attention but i just want to be relaxed. Social anxiety doesnt let me.

3. I'm obsessed. I think too much about everything. For example i went out a few hours ago and someone looked at me for a long time. Now i'm thinking why she looked at me for long time, did she realize that im weird? I cant forget the past.

i'm starting to think anxiety and obsession are even worse than aspergers syndrome. Because i'm not relaxed. What should i do? Im going to psychiatrist and taking pills but i'm still the same. Sorry for my bad english. thanks for any help

I am glad you are here. I think you will find that many people with Asperger's also have social anxiety and obsessive thinking. That doesn't fix the problem, of course, but know that you are not alone.

I am just hazarding a guess here, but it is probably more difficult to be different in Turkey than it is in the USA, where we have so many different types of people, seems like everyone is weird or different in some way or another. (That's sort of a joke.)

Welcome to WP and I hope you find some comfort here.
