A funny feeling, no other description

Deleted User

Tonight, I went in a strange mood. I'm ok now but this by no means thr first time this has happened. It's like something comes over me and I can't put into words, just a funny feeling. Im not sure why, and it just made me feel sad. Like feeling tearful was the only way to express myself because I think sometimes I don't fully understand myself. There was no reason for me to feel sad. Nothing had even happened. I think I get lost in my head too much.

So I went upstairs and changed the bed. My partner knew something was up, and so did I,  but I didn't know what.

I don't know if this is an autistic thing. I'm even doubting that I'm on the spectrum at all and will be paying out a large sum of money for an assessment next month.

  • i as reading yesterday that mood swings are part of autism as well ! anxiety and depression are well known co-morbids of autism so you do have to keep an eye on your anxiety and make sure you are doing something to stop it becoming depression.

    Tell them about your mood swings just in case you suffer from something else with/without autism. Thats up to them to decide.  So going for an assessment will tell you for sure if you have less or that , which can be very re-assuring no matter which way it comes out.

    That's what I was thinking, and if they say it's not autism I'm hoping they can give me some other direction. 

    I suppose you could say it's mood swings...my partner would definitely see it as that. It felt like my time of the month was brewing but it's too soon. It's more the "I feel off and don't know why" that I find strange. I don't usually feel depressed...it's more the anxiety. Altho I can see that growing up, it felt like depression when in reality I think it was confusion over my own feelings and not being able to identify or interpret it. This led to sadness as I didn't know how else to express myself.

    I think from my CBT it has become apparent that I want answers all the time for my own thoughts and feelings and quite often there aren't answers and things just "are".

    What were you reading?  I'd be interested to hear more.
