Sometimes my autism just beats me up inside; it's not fun.
Even though I know everything is okay logically, my anxiety just runs rampantly thoughout my mind. And because my autism is inherently irrational, no matter what anybody says to help me, it does little to calm my brain down. But at least drawing this piece of my second scalesona, Spinewave, has given me a release and I feel better. I often forget how much of an effective coping mechanism my therapy art is.
With my therapy/vent art, I think Spinewave is taking over, because through him, I get the bigger release. Reptu doesn't work, because he is pure me that just wants to live, unhindered by crazy (maybe even undeserved) things that go on in my life. Because I live my happiest escape through Reptu, that's why I'm him on all these profiles. But with Spinewave, he's there to express the harsher stuff that happens to real me, the actual depressing stuff that I'd rather not see with Reptu.
I'll be okay: I just got to hang in there. I'm getting autism-specific therapy in 4 days. That's not too much time for me to last.

As someone who also has ASD and anxiety issues, this hits pretty close to me, especially lately. I really hope whatever therapy you’re doing helps.
I'm glad you can relate. It truly is something to struggle with.
And thank you, Rykor. We'll see what happens. I'm hoping the therapy should take care of the anxiety, because I really don't want to resort to medication. But if I need to, I'd do it.

You are doing alright. You aren’t alone and I get uptight in life because I worried if i am wasting life or if i am behind. i always compare to others in life and college
Thanks, Simic. Yeah, I guess I fall in that trap of comparing myself to others. In the end, I've got to remind myself that comparing isn't good, and my situation is my situation; nobody else can have it except me.
Since you got passion and interest of math. Most lazy people or other wish to be in your place because they want to earn those credits without putting in effort. Good luck in math, engineering or physic degree or other. I got the books for lower course and upper course except the final math upper course, upper biology and upper engineering and lower division accounting.
Some people would be in my place because I have no debt but at same time I am not near perfect due to I get capricious and no career solved. I am doing good in chemistry

Hang in there bud, I also had my issues with anxiety with so much going through my mind, hope therapy helps you out to relieve your stress, everyday is better.
Right, you too. It's comforting knowing I'm not the only one.
Thanks for reminding me that every day is gets better, AviZergen. I've got to remind myself that I've reached a new chapter where the majority of my life's struggles have been overcome. And even though not everything is solved, at least things are gradually going in an upward trend.

If there are any bad things in the past it's always best not to dwell on them, while you may get better everyday slowly and despite that it's not what you feel comfortable with, there will be a time where things will be different than today and keeping stress out of your mind helps make you be a better guy than before, it's what my sister told me as she is a doctor herself, this time era really took a toll on everyone's nerves but things will get good again, eventually.
I wish you the best. Yes I can relate as someone with severe anxiety from time to time and currently on medication. Like yesterday, I had to go to sleep in the middle of the day for a few hours because my anxiety was really gnawing at me but I felt a bit better afterwards.
Right, you described that feeling perfectly: when the anxiety just keeps gnawing at you. It's the worst, and sleeping is something you have to resort to, in order to put that gnawing out.
Thank you. I'm glad some people can relate.
Thank you. I'm glad some people can relate.
I understand you there. I actually take certain prescription medications to deal with my autism.
You have? Yeah, sometimes that's the way to go. I'm glad we have that option.
And thanks.
And thanks.
Autism is a hard thing to deal with, especially in this day and age where everyone’s faking it and nobody takes it seriously anymore by making jokes and everything. But, it’s not your fault. It never will be your fault. I am on the Autism spectrum as well, so I completely understand what you’re going through. People like us just need some help and the right people to help push us in the right direction. Keep your beautiful scaly head up, and know that things will get better. And even if they don’t, people like me and others on this site are here for you. I hope you feel better soon.
Aw, wow, thank you so much. This was truly heartfelt.
One of the hardest things about having autism is that it's a disability that is pretty much invisible. So it's frustrating that there are people like me who actually have it struggling to prove it, while there are other people who don't have it faking it. I'm glad you brought that up, because having autism really is a serious issue. If only there were a way to show what having autism is truly like. I know there are some videos, but I haven't really seen any that truly speak to me. But that make sense because autism spectrum really is diverse.
Thank you for wishing me well. We'll see what happens; at least I'm feeling better now. And if I don't, like you said, I can share my experiences on this site for support.

I’m glad you’re feeling better, man. If you need to talk about anything, just send me a note and I’ll respond as soon as I can. Remember that you’re not alone in this.
Okay, cool. Thanks. I'll keep that in mind to reach out to you.
Nawww...you are so adorable....*comes closer and purrs in your ears to make you relaxing* :3
Eeee, thanks!
*my mind calms down as I listen to your soothing purr*
