[|Human|] Hi, Im 20 years old from the uk. Im autistic and suffer from what i think is bad anxiety. Im really having a bad time at the moment. I get nervous all the time about everything and makes me feel ill (sick). My mum said that i need to go to the doctors but im to scared to. In the past ive been out and ive been ill and scared of it happening again in the future so im always in my house because thats the place where i feel safe and if i do feel then it goes away after abit also i always think about what has happened to me in the past and what could happen in the future and its scary for me. Im loosing weight from the fear of eating to much and making me feel sick after and days after. I cant go out with my mates anymore or see family or work from the fear and bad nerves. Ive looked online to see what are the symptoms and i have most of them. Im scared that christmas is coming up and all the attention it brinbg with it. I struggle enought with having autsim and having bad nerves all the time. So is there any medication i can take to make it go away? please please answer me :(
[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor From the history you have written I can say that most likely you are suffering from anxiety disorder only, and it is not due to autism. Autism is a different disorder. The symptoms like feeling sick, fear of going out of home, excessive worries about future, fear of eating more etc. are due to anxiety only. You have anxiety of going out with friends, and you stay at home only, most likely agoraphobia is also associated. I would advise you to consult a Psychiatrist for expert opinion. Medicines like selective serotonin re uptake inhibitors as fluoxetine, Sertraline are very effective. Some Chat Doctor.  Behavior therapy with relaxation exercises, breathing exercises is also useful. Thanks, hope this helps you
