anxiety and urgency
i feel maybe i am alone on this, but does anyone else feel as if when having and anxious thought that whatever the thought is based around needs to change in that moment? for example i love my bf, he loves me, we have a good relationship, however sometimes this voice creeps up on me and makes me anxious. it tells me to break up with him and do it asap. like i can’t relax until i do it. in my everyday life it happens as well, i can’t relax until i completely finish a task start to finish. i won’t eat, won’t sleep, won’t sit down. i just wish someone else knew this feeling because i feel so alone in the world

You are not alone!
And I'm sorry you are struggling.
Anxiety can manifest in such a way that it's overwhelming and it picks away at us until we make unhealthy choices or push our loved ones away, convincing us we don't deserve to be happy!
But you do!
It's important in these moments to remind yourself, you are safe, you don't have to react or act in those moments, it will pass and it can't hurt you.
Music also drowns out the overthinking 🩷
i’ve tried music, it doesn’t really help. i think it just makes the overstimulation worse. being autistic in this day and age is a nightmare, everywhere i go it is constant sound or stimulus and i can’t escape. i can barely go to work without coming home absolutely exhausted having to fake who i am to be a valued employee, it’s like nobody understands im trying my best, im so overwhelmed and anxious and it makes me feel like i need to do everything right this minute or something horrible will happen

That really sounds like alot and I'm sorry you have to pretend and people can't see and appreciate that you are doing your best, and it sounds like a very difficult world at times to navigate 🩷
