Interventions

ASDish

Its been about 5months since diagnosis.

what ive found is like im regressing more now ihave a name to call my condition.

i dont seem to be able find any balance, everything is either too much or too little.


the only thing that doesnt ruin my day is absolutely nothing. a complete absence of activity.

This makes me feel very depressed.

most days i have 2-3 suicidal thoughts. 

Whereas ive observed some have veiwed diagonsis as a freedom i see only a prison

i cant escape.

i wish i could copy the positivity of some of you, but i just cant im tired of copying.

tired of struggling everyday.

  • I'm sorry to hear you're struggling with it. I wonder if talking to someone qualified would help to put things into perspective. They may be able to ask the right questions so you can find answers to as to why you think you're feeling this way.

    I can definitely see why it can feel like regressing. You start to see everything through that autistic lens. As someone who hasn't been officially diagnosed, I feel like at times it is a lot to take in. Everything takes on a different meaning now that you know. The diagnosis becomes almost an excuse to surrender to all the struggles, which can make it feel like a prison rather than a liberation.

    I hope you can find a way out that's right for you.
