Sunday night worry

Roy

Trying to stay awake for as long as possible, Sunday night is a hate for me. If I manage 3 hours sleep I will be doing well. My mind won’t stop thinking and my anxiety goes through the roof. I will have to meet people tomorrow or use a phone, both fill me with dread. I spend most days at the moment with anxiety 24/7

    Thanks for your reply, autism only came onto the radar at the beginning of December. I have just been referred by my GP. I’ve had to process the last 50 plus years and every event has had to go under the microscope. It’s led me to a burnout, I have no interest in work or anything else. My autism seems to have come out more. Boys do mask heavily as well. I feel lost most of the time, I struggle to remember the real me. It’s as if the real me was put in a cupboard in pre school and this imposter has just muddled on. I feel angry with myself, I’m not unintelligent but missed autism as to why I’m different. I’ve only told 5 people that I’m autistic, 3 came straight back with, “ I thought you was” could no one have shared the memo 30 years ago. I’m trying so hard not to have a meltdown.

    sorry to overshare
