Very true

I'm scared of having a heart attack. I've been worrying about it alot this week because of chest pain off and on. I think it's anxiety but I worry because of mildly high cholesterol. It runs in our family. I get tired of worrying about it but I can't stop. I'm hoping I can try to get a test done to try and rule out anything like clogged arteries. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish what could be real symptoms vs anxiety.

Yeah it's true that

If it helps I get chest pains quite a lot and I think in my case it's a pulled muscle in my pectoral muscle

But you're right to get it checked out and then at least you'll know

Ouch...pulled muscle....and thats got to be awkward, if its in your chest. hope that goes away soon ..!

Signs that I noticed when I recovered from whatever 2 decades old unprocessed emotions that took told of me since age 5 or so;

Difference in digestion. Way less stomach aches and way less heartburn.

The lack of presence of something malicious and hungry in my core.

Apparently my hair is healthier, too. It used to be so disheveled and dry without treatment. Now whatever hair I grew in the last 7-8 months are shinier and stronger.

Definitely more controllable daydreaming.

And somehow less cravings.
Because I don't have a parasitic emotion that's been unregulatable eating up my emotional and mental tanks on the background.

Internal stressors cut by half.
The other remaining half I have to contend isn't psychological though.


Yet ridding said half of my internal stressor caused me; it matters because my main sensory trigger is constantly internal than external...

Way better sleep quality. Therefore actually being able to recover from whatever I had been through everday.

Several times not as reactive and involuntarily mentally rumination or make stupid imaginary scenarios from whatever the ego's imagination 'should happen'.

More executive function spoons; meaning a bit more reliable memory, a bit easier task switching, way less skipping parts because of feeling rushed, etc.

Actually being able to take it one day at the time and what actually constitutes as "mindfulness".

AND FINALLY, WHATEVER RESEMBLES A ROUTINE.

My intrusive thought keeps telling me she's happy

I can live with that

I found out from a therapist this morning that I am experiencing PTSD from driving. I never really connected PTSD with the symptoms I experience in long drives but she's probably right. I think I may have the same with medications now as well and that's why I avoid taking things.

I wonder if that's a common thing to happen with drivers

My therapist brought up autism in our last appointment. It reminded me (my life has been very hectic as of late with lots of doctors and lots of referrals, so it's something that's in the back of my mind and I never get to it) again that my therapist and doctors had referred me over for a neuropsych evaluation for autism in late October and I had never heard from the place I was referred to. Seeing as resolving this usually requires phone calls and I've done so many of those and hate doing them, again, it ended up on the backburner.

Alas, I'm trying to pursue that and where things went wrong. I'm scared of being evaluated as autistic because it could put me on lists and with the leadership being what it is in my country that is becoming even more and more scary. However, something told me to still pursue this. IDK. I have Medicaid right now and they will pay for this, whereas autism assessments are usually super expensive, so it just seems like the best time... and again, I just want to find out why I am the way I am so I can understand how to proceed forward in my life. Are these 'quirks' a natural part of autism, or are they something else and can be treated? I just need to know...

Yeah you should go for it then

Sometimes it takes me years to work out what one person has said to me

It's like I know the individual words but I can't work out what the whole sentence means

This is where I'm not confident in life because it's like I just don't understand the language and I think this is why I avoid people

I don't know whether that stems from autism or childhood neglect
