Has anyone just felt like they're sick of trying so hard all the time? 

I just feel like this world is too difficult to navigate and I actually can't cope much longer. 

I have far too many problems to list them all here but I feel like my life is going to continue in this cycle because I'm not in the right environment and I don't get the right support. 

I was diagnosed at 22 so I've never had any support. I recently contacted the organisation that diagnosed me and two weeks later I'm still waiting for a response. I don't understand why even getting help needs to be so difficult. I feel like I'm on an emotional rollercoaster, there are too many things that affect my mood which I have no control over. 

A friend of mine committed suicide almost 18 months ago and I feel like the reason we were so close is because we were so similar and had similar issues. I miss her sooo much it hurts, I don't cry often but I do cry when I think about her. She suffered from anorexia and I am now being referred to some kind of specialist to see if I have an eating disorder. I just feel like it is all a bit too much and I'm not sure what to do next.

  • It can be very difficult to get into the system that provides support for autism but once you do it's worth the wait so please keep trying and, hopefully, it won't be too long before you get some real support. In the meantime, you can always 'unload' on the rest of us who are going through or have gone through the same thing.

    I just don't know where to start. 

    I was diagnosed by a private company who also does some things for the NHS. I had some life skills sessions but to continue the sessions were £200 per session which I just cannot afford. 

    Nearly three weeks on I am still waiting on a response to my email. I wish I felt comfortable enough to ring the psychologist who diagnosed me. She was definitely good at her job there's no dispute there she picked up on many things that most people don't but I just didn't feel that comfortable talking to her
