I've literally worried myself sick.

...See more I've had a serious anxiety disorder all my life, and up until about three years ago, my symptoms have been pretty normal (racing heart, occasional stomachache, etc.). But then something weird and distressing happened. Light started to hurt my eyes way more than it should, and now I have to wear heavy sunglasses every day (I think it's worth noting that I'm autistic in the first place, but my struggles with light used to be infrequent). Then, after that, I started throwing up under pressure. Sometimes, I would throw up under mild pressure. And then the chronic nausea issue got so bad that most foods make me sick now - including nearly every kind of meat. I've ruled out a ton of possible medical records for this, and I really feel as if my anxiety is the root cause of this mess. And I'm really upset by that. Because I feel that I should somehow be able to control the disorder out of sheer willpower. I'm working with a counselor on this issue, and I'm really doing a lot of emotional work on myself. I'll continue to look for answers. What I feed like I need from this community here is validation. I'm not the only one who has accidentally damaged their health with their anxiety in a big way, right? I'm feeling very alone.

...See more I've got some serious problems with my self esteem. No matter how many times I'm told I'm great, all I can seem to see are my "failures." The problems that come up due to my neurodiversity are especially hard for me to accept, because I don't want to be "weird." How the heck do I even start to feel better about myself? My knee-jerk reaction is to try to stop making mistakes.
