Hi 👋 I thought maybe my first ever discussion should have me do a mini intro and maybe a question to keep a convo rolling?
I’m trying to distract my mind since it feels really heavy right now with stress :c I am in my first year of university (straight out of high school), I have autism and social anxiety. So, taking this first step reaching out is very very much out of my comfort zone. I have a friend that has been suggesting me to reach out to a professional due to my stress levels but my anxiety just flies through the roof. In the end, I’m not sure why I have this anxiety even though in the back of my mind I know I need to talk to somebody who can deal with a massive life-story dump. I don’t think a friend deserves that kind of mess :,)
This sounds more like a brain dump… so sorry if I am not making sense right now 😅
I guess a question I have to keep this discussion rolling is: to anyone that has gone through this anxiety to meet a professional knew why? Or did you figure out why you did back then?
