is it better for my friends to not know if I have AS?

Post Reply New Topic

I have told my friends that I have anxiety issues, and they seem pretty understanding. But anxiety issues can be quite common in people and so it gets more understood, and usually people know at least one person who gets anxious or has a lot of stress or has suffered depression at some point in their lives. So I don't feel so alone about my anxiety issues and so I open up about it and pretend it is the only issue I have got. I can pass myself off as just being an anxious person too, so thankfully I can get away with telling everyone that. Well, I am a very anxious person anyway, so it's no lie. In fact, I believe that the anxiety issues I have are more disabling than the AS itself.
