I'm an Aspy and dear Jesus can panic attacks be bad. I can be talking to people and completely out of it, and all of the sudden it is like struggling to do social tasks. It is like when you think about a free throw too hard during basketball. I just can't breathe properly, and my eyes lock on something, while my brain keeps going "holy shit holy shit holy shit" without actually progressing through to anywhere. I have a heart condition that fudges with my oxygen supply, so if I don't sit down and breathe right I just up and pass out. I've got a few really close friends that I've told this too and they always watch out for me when they can.
Speaking of friends, Aspergers is a nightmare there. I've been getting better and better as I become more aware and better at undermining my own sabotage, but it is still difficult to make and keep friends. I know, in my head, as definitive fact, that my friends are very close to me, and I can trust them, and I'm close to them, and they trust me, etc. but it is really hard to feel that sometimes. It is weird and contradictory description, but no matter how strongly I feel something, I don't always feel it. Like, sometimes stuff syncs up where I'm happy and I feel happy, and other times I feel, inside, very sad, but on the outside I'm acting like an entirely different emotion by reflex, even though I'm screaming at myself to show how I feel.
