Well, I tried to illustrate how a panic/anxiety attack feels like for me. And many people have told me that they can relate, that this is exactly what it feels like to them too. So i guess I managed to get the message through.

Made it in 2004, the worst time in my life, I suffered from panic attacks daily, and I had severe anxiety 24/7.
Today, no panic at all, and not that much anxiety. I guess I'm down to "normal", because everyone feels anxiety from time to time.

For me, thats what it feels like, being Autistic. Held back by your disorder and the misconceptions of people. Try to escape it and be normal but you can't and you're always dragged back by the hooks of the reality that it won't change and you'll always be that way.

yeah, i can relate to that too. i desperatly want to do things, to be functional, in ways that my dysfunction simply wont let me, and probably will never let me.
frustrating, to say the least.

since i posted this, i have had so many reactions, comments from people that can relate to the feeling, for different reasons.
it's actually comforting. everyone has their own problems, but no one is alone when it comes to having problems.

thank you for your comment

Panikattacker måste vara den äckligaste känslan som finns. Hoppas att de fortsätter att hålla sig borta ifrån dig!

*Photopathica Sep 19, 2012 General Artist

tack så mycket

ja det verkar inte som de kommer tillbaka

befinner mig i ett helt annat sinnestillstånd nu mer. har bättre koll på ångesten, kan alltid hantera den när den kommer. har hittat metoder som verkligen funkar

hoppas du också hittar såna

~ida-in-thunderland Sep 20, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Jo, men så är det för mig med tror jag. Jag har lärt mig väldigt mycket om hur jag fungerar och vet hur jag ska bete mig för att kunna ta det hela med ro.
