I am waiting to be assessed for both ASD and ADHD - I think I might also have GAD - I think I must have very complex, and often contradictory, wiring and am hoping assessment will bring some clarity.
I am extremely anxious, but not really about any particular thing - it is constantly bubbling and then sometimes I have a phase where it is much worse (like now). I have never taken anything for it but am considering going to the GP.
I described the anxiety to dh as like being inside Iron Man's suit - it's like I have an extra computer alongside my brain that is constantly on the lookout for danger - I am always mentally alert and physically tense, even in bed. I have just had to switch to the smallest bedroom in the house, as I feel much safer in an enclosed space then I do in a larger room. I am not actually scared of any particular thing, I just can't switch the feeling of alertness off. Almost like an overdeveloped 6th sense/instinct. I don't sit worrying, but I am completely unable to relax.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Do you take anything and does it help?
