I feel like the we're the only ones having to deal with other problems like mental health problems (depression, anxiety etc), as well as asperger's or autism and I seem to think NT people don't have as many mental problems as we do. I try to go about life without worrying but it feels like its almost impossible to live everyday without a worry about something I mean I'm due for a dentist appointment and my car renewal and I feel other people like me my age, younger or older, has Aspergers, autism or is NT is living everyday without worrying, especially when I always see happy, joyful and easy-going pictures on social media or walking through a the street or a park on a nice sunny day and I wish I was like that. I feel like other people don't deal with as much what I do and live everyday happy and free of worries.

Anxiety and depression is more common among NTs than you think, but because they haven't got things like Asperger's or autism or ADHD or some other learning disability on top of it, it's probably not as disabling (although in some NT people it can be but you get what I mean).

Everyone has a some degree of worries at sometime and for some,all the time,if one allows themselves to be controlled by there own thoughts.

And it's not specifically penciled more so to those on the spectrum either,NT's have to live in this messed up world as well and probably have more to worry about with there narrow minds.

Anyhow,dealing with stress and worry?Understand it's all in the mind and you are not your mind and you are not your thoughts.

It's all in the mind and you have to be in control of your mind.

Plenty of helpful info on the net in regards to the mind and how it works,here's one link from Tinybuddha,hope it helps.

Good luck.: )
