At times, I have been overwhelming feeling come over me, I can't quite identify it, but it stops me from being motivated and how I present to other people. I can only describe it like a dark abyss and feelings of being lost. I do eventually come back, but I don't like this feeling and it happens quite a lot. I guess it is part and parcel of being autistic. I was wondering, how do others manage this, or do you in fact feel this way. I do try and snap out of it, but it is not that easy.
I am not sure whether it is to much information, or activitiy in my head, but I have been thinking of meditation.
Same here. I usually just play videogames until I can block the thoughts out haha
No, you're not wrong to feel that way—in fact, I do feel like that fairly often. I don't know how to manage it, though, aside from maybe giving into the impulse to walk around or distract myself or maybe indulge further into my interests. I'd love to hear one of us on the forum figuring out the solution to managing it.
To be honest this is me around 100% of the time. In the past I would depend on a partner to bring me some solace and respite from the constant negative feelings, but since my partner left me I haven't been able to do that (for obvious reasons haha). Still trying to figure out how to combat these feelings on my own, myself... do let me know if you discover the secret haha
Time to put your feet up and relax with a glass of wine.
I feel crashed out, after driving to Belfast and back; today.
Now, I have laundry on; and feel like I had Twelve Rounds with Tyson Fury.
You can't help what you feel,and it will sure feel real.Go easy on yourself, it's not your fault.Reach out but be your own best friend.Look after Yourself.
