If I can be candid throughout my life, I feared mentioning that I had any anxiety in my life whatsoever. Today I freely admit there is much anxiety. But in my posts you may see something unique. I am trying to differentiate between the Asperger's in me, that is the 'Aspie', and the 'Me'. I now have to admit and this is against Aspie's wishes that anxiety ran my life. For the first time ever and I think evidence of this can be seen in my first post I have turned to my GP and have got a prescription for anti-anxiety tablets. I fear taking them even though I have in the past when I have been seriously ill have had them unknowingly prescribed because I was not in a fit state to be aware. I like your post because it delivers some home truths and common sense how to be at peace with oneself.
