trekster Report post Posted August 25, 2012 What can you do to help yourself to find the world more bearable? What have you tried to do that has worked in the past? i can sense you have quite severe anxiety, do any medications help with this or depression? How about trying supplements?

I exercise gym zumba classes help me cope with the world I write poetry go jogging mainly helps me release out! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trekster Report post Posted August 26, 2012 Poetry sounds like a great idea, have your sent your poems to the magazine Asperger United? http://www.autism.org.uk/aspergerunited ....the magazine is for anyone with a diagnosis of being on the spectrum. Looking after yourself would be a very productive way of coping with the world. If you wish to go on a diet then avoiding gluten, dairy, msg, aspartame, soy, corn could be the route for you. Let me know if you wish to join the yahoo group about gfcfrecipes. i happen to be a moderator on there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robert7111a Report post Posted August 28, 2012 Have you looked at your diet, what you are eating etc? Why don't you write down what you eat in an average week. Sounds like a combination of not the right nutrients and the side effects of all your meds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smileyK Report post Posted August 29, 2012 Would scare freak me out keeping food diary as panic I'm eating too much ! makes me anxious looking at food calories all time fat content on the front like today burnt 800 calories at the gym was there two & half hours! Feels like electricity through my veins when I'm there! I felt tired lack of energy before I took medication?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trekster Report post Posted August 29, 2012 If you really wish to go on a diet then i recommend gluten and dairy free, it has really changed my life. Also avoid MSG and aspartame. If you feel worse to begin with then it is highly likely this regime would suit you. Also do some research on eating disorders and sensory issues. According to Sharron Hellier they are related.

trekster Report post Posted August 30, 2012 power rangers was the best show on tv..... go go power rangers, i used to love that show along with other kids shows. i saw 'the wimpy kid' sequel today and feel although it was a comedy there were excellent morals, i cant remember the line but it was about making mistakes. Another good moral is 'dont rush me im making mistakes as fast as i can' i think. brain going to sleep mode zzzzzzzzz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
