Can't take it anymore.

Well I guess they do...I went to that appointment and they said they did, also gave me a prescription for anti-anxiety meds not for daily use but the type to take if I am on the verge of a panic attack or something. And I guess I will get to talk to the psychologist or whatever at that place and then I suppose I could decide on the SSI or part time work or whatever, if keeping the anxiety under control really makes it possible for me to function at a part time job maybe I could do that after all.......but whatever at least I more or less have things started.

Yay, I'm so happy for you! You finally went and got help, good job! You just took a big step, be proud of yourself, you made the first move forward!

Well that is really really good news. If you are even thinking about having a job...
After all you were just stuck to something you knew that you just have to quit, just didn't know how?
And you perceived it quite much worse than what it actually was?

Sounds familiar to me.

This is really nice that it went that way, sort of:
You got some medicine for in case you need it and want it.
You are totally on your own will. Control.
And it means also that you were probably not that threatened, just completely committed to your anxieties.

Yeah, aspies have crazy energies to set free. Jumping easily from 0 to 100% in mood when problems resolve.(That's what I think)

For me, when something resolves I am struggling with, when it gets clearer, then I usually feel quite relieved, because I understood how things are or what to do.
Things that are not under some "control" or if some logic is missing, this makes me usually quite mad. Understanding is worth gold.

Killing anxiety is really a great problem for me, too. And I don't even know which of my problems are actually due to anxiety. I take many things very personal and feel myself committed quite easily. Especially things that nobody can do anything for are very hard to accept for me.

Well and people telling me that everybody has the same problem doesn't do a thing.
How the hell it helps if you know that many others have the same problem?
It makes me actually feel sometimes even worse, because if others already have that problem,
then what does that problem to me.
These kinds of thinking.

If somebody, however, is talking about strategies to cope with it, that is really nice.

I can't look upon myself from outside so well, if I could, the anxiety would be killed right away, probably.
But somehow I can analyze others and see them much clearer.
This is somehow strange, that disconnecting from your own feelings is so difficult.

Could be interesting to sort of walk out of yourself and look from outside,
and maybe even start to laugh about "that crazy me" there

Good luck with the fighting the real problems
and with the situation when the first euphoria is over...

That's great news! You just brightened my day a little.
