    I’ve had Asperger’s my whole life and I also had trouble manaaging my stress and anxiety. Today, I couldn’t eat my meal with my mom due to my body not handling the food until I got home. While I knew in my MIND that I wasn’t stressed, my body has become so accustomed to being anxious at restaurants that I can’t always eat in front of people. I’ve already done therapy, yoga, meditation, etc. and I still do all of those things. My question really is this: What techniques can I use to not be stressed or anxious when I eat out at restaurants?

    I’m open to anything. Live, laugh, love.

    I already figured it out. I just have to stay away from chocolate, remain calm, and enjoy food without eating too fast or gulping in air.

    Hi Aiyana,

    Hope all is well with you. I had an email from tiny buddha the other week notifying me of a new link to your book. I have been battling depression pretty badly lately so I haven’t had a chance to get back to you earlier. I would love to read it though! I read what you had last time and you are certainly talented!

    You are also the most kind, upbeat and positive person I have routinely noticed here. Thank you for that. It is always refreshing to see good people around.

    Hey, anytime! I’m sorry I’ve been AWOL(ABSENCE WITHOUT LEAVE). Life has been throwing me more hurdles than I ever could imagine. After my mom got out of the hospital, everyone reverted back to old habits. I HATE NEGATIVITY. There is nothing attractive to me about someone feeling sorry about life. For the past few months, I’ve been doing everything I can to get another job. I already sent my resume out, had an interview for a physical therapy job, and I can safely say my confidence is slowly coming back. Out of impulse, I got Cosmopolitan, a magazine I read religiously in college, before I went to another college, and a book about calming your angry mind. I can’t keep using technology as an escape for my problems. We have to face them sooner or later. I know I was destined to impact the world in some shape or form.

    Below are the links to my work:

    Hi!!!

    It makes my day seeing your responses!!! I am sorry to hear that things went a little south for awhile. I understand how frustrating things can be but it really sounds like you are doing an excellent job at keeping things together. Congrats on scoring an interview for a physical therapy job!

    Your reply came at the perfect time. I have been struggling with keeping my head up through this job search. That, and I am in a relationship with someone who doesn’t understand that his occasional rage hurts me mentally and kills my emotional security. I suffer from ptsd as a result of multiple serious traumas in my life so when we fight, it opens many old wounds and takes me back a step or two sometimes. I tell him that, but it seems to go in one ear and out the other when he feels threatend of any sorts. I am also in recovery for alcoholism. I will be sober for three years this July and while I am grateful at this second chance in life, it is difficult for me to build self esteem when insults are thrown around. I feel more lost now thsn when I started out, despite my serious efforts to improve. I was hoping in this time I have had out of work, I could pursue my talents as a writer and artist but in juggling many things at once, I have lost all direction and most motivation, fearing I should just give up on my natural talents and go back in to what I was doing before (corporate world). Like you, I know I could change the world, but I don’t know how I could go about that. What are the most effective ways for you to handle adversity?

    I smiled when I saw your response yesterday because it came on a “good” day for me. I spent all day thoroughly searching job sites, sending out my resume and applications with a positive mindset, rather than a feeling of dread or fear. Your confidence reminder kept me going through out. I admire your motivation and talent to continue writing and getting it out there. You do a great job and I look forward to reading what you have shared with us!!!

    I’m grateful to have crossed paths with you. You appear to be my angel of wisdom when I need one the most. I love your optimism and sincerely hope I have not been a negative nancy through out this. I am learning how to communicate better and am really interested in the steps you take to remain so positive while you are experiencing some similar experiences as me.
