In need of advice please!
Have reached a bit of a breaking point and I'm wondering if I might be "on the spectrum"...but then wondering if by virtue of thinking in those terms there's no way I can be. Please help!
In short I've been working in a very stressful job in the City and have recently been promoted to a senior position. I am absolutely not coping. The work itself is fine, but this new position means I am not in any kind of routine. I'm excessively stressed about this, to a degree I suspect is not "normal". I'm not sleeping, I'm screaming at my DH daily, I'm slightly manic and obsess over where I'm going to be the next day, how to get there, who is going to be there, and have to get a certain food from a certain shop en route for lunch to be "safe". I just feel totally out of control and I don't know why. When I am actually doing the work I am fine and I'm known as being competent/capable etc but inwardly I'm feeling completely frazzled and it's beginning to show. The connection to some kind of ASD type issue might not seem obvious but I do have a variety of other signs too which I imagine would not have been picked up earlier as I was an exceptional student yet completely robotic.
