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.

  • Hey Peter!

    You're not alone. I know that hearing this doesn't always help but it's true. I was diagnosed just before Christmas and since then feel like I've regressed too. I guess it's just part of the "journey" to find yourself. You have to know you're lost to even know where to begin. It's not easy to escape when locked down either. Struggling is exhausting but it'll pass.

    I talked to a professional and I'm going to do it again soon. Found that it was just really helpful to be reminded of different techniques that sound like hard work until you give them a go. 

    I haven't been on this forum for long but already people have been really helpful and supportive and not just fake, social media positive. Keep on reaching out. Someone will say something or signpost you to something that just clicks.
