A bad day with anxiety

Originally posted on Medium 12th Feb https://medium.com/@arcarver87/a-bad-day-with-anxiety-9b172028b752 Leaving the house is always a struggle for me, I have difficulty with social anxiety that makes it incredibly hard for me to deal with people, especially in groups, and noise, not to mention a few other things. Given a choice I will stay at home, out of the...

Molehills everywhere, but not a mountain in sight.

As someone who suffers from stress, anxiety and depression I have always found it easy in the past to turn the smallest of molehills in the largest of mountains. No matter what happened I was likely to view a problem as the worst thing to ever happen to me, with the all too real possibility...

Flipping the switch

It often feels as if there's a switch in my brain, one that periodically gets switched, and I'm not in control of it. For a while I was having problems sleeping, no matter what I did I couldn't get to sleep; it would be 2, 3, 4, even 5 o'clock and gone before I fell...

Autistic Confessions – Feeling Stuck – Running Away

I know how this feels, I have days when I just sit there, staring at the computer with a mental list of things to do, utterly unable to get moving on anything.

A stressful day

I'm alright so far today, but yesterday was a very bad day for me, I was so stressed I came very close to a meltdown that would have resulted in the loss of my laptop through a Hulk Smash kind of moment, and it's all thanks to Microsoft and Windows 10. I haven't been a...

I'm a little embarrassed to admit this but the other day I had an article I wrote posted on a writer's site and I plum forgot to let you all know about it. Now that I've remembered, here's the link, in case any of you would like to read about what it's like for me...

An apology

Some of you may have noticed that I've been a little lax in posting the last week or so, compared to previously, and I'm here to apologise. I've been struggling with my various mental health issues recently and that's made it difficult to find either the energy or the enthusiasm to provide regular posts while...

Anger – Asperger’s Girl Anja Melissa Explains

This is yet another article on this subject that I feel a whole-hearted resonance with - I have experienced everything said here myself.   I don’t talk about my anger issues any more. They are behind me now and I don’t like to dwell on negative things in the past. When I was younger I...

Blocked

Today I am suffering the agony of writer's block - not with regard to my books, I'm in editing mode on Where There's A Will and it's going really well, and I'm pretty sure if I were to sit down with one of my many book ideas I would have no problem there. No, I'm...
