Have Anxiety and Depression??

NISMO IX · 10-24-2017, 03:57 PM

High functioning Autistic, social anxiety, depression, PTSD, among about 10 others. Struggled all my life, got diagnosed at 35 years old, almost 40 now. Is a life changing experience, but without answers I may not have been able to gain a college degree at 39 and be a proud owner of my Z. And yes, meds help but also take things away.

Just looking for a little self-boost in the mood department.

Today is exceptionally

How do you all make it thru a day when all you want to do is hide?

It makes it hard but look forward to something positive for when your day is done. Maybe a favorite food or hobby or friend/relative/spouse to spend time with. It's what I do. Just do what you can to shift the focus away from the anxiety.

And see that's exactly where i'm at. I talked to my doctor and i'd like to do something to curve my anxiety/depression but i don't want to be so drugged that i lose my personality. I'm typically a happy guy, but there those every other day occurrences where i just hate life and don't want to be social at all. I feel like it's gotten worse as I've gotten older. I'm now 33... and i can remember suffering anxiety since i was a teenager and it's slowly developed into a slight depression. Exercising helps for sure, running has been a good high for me and it totally melts away frustrations. But i definitely found solace when i was hanging with my car crew. Right now though i'm out of the car game so it's definitely made an impact. The car game has been my own true hobby.
