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

  • I’m sorry that you are experiencing this Roy. Have you spoken to your GP about if they can do anything to help you with your anxiety?

    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

    Hi Roy - at least you’ve come to this realisation now - better late than never Slight smile

    I’m sure you’ll work many things out as you work through this process and hopefully you will benefit in the future by doing that. I’m sure you will.
