Serious struggles

AnneMargaret

Am I allowed to talk about self harm or is that wrong On here? Am I really struggling with feelings. Why do I feel so confused and scared of the world? I feel like I have everything bubbling inside but I don't even know if they are good or bad feelings. I just feel really anxious. I don't understand things and feel everyone is against me.

    I spent so much time in my room trying to find a way to make sense of the world and trying to release the frustration inside me.  Over time, and with CBT and other psychiatric help, I have grown out of it.  Or, at least got the tools now to help deal with a confusing world.  Today I feel really down and I have no idea why and that is what is frustrating me today.  Why do I feel down, there is no logical reason for me feeling like this, but I was advised by my psychiatrist that this feeling is normally only temporary and tomorrow is a new day.  It may be just lack of sleep, so I'll see what a relaxing sleep (if I can get it) will sort out for me tonight.

     

    Even if I can't really give you pointers, all I know if trying to figure this out all by yourself isn't ideal.  I didn't feel like being around people but it is really good if you can get someone, preferably who understands about ASDs, to just talk to.  Writing all your thoughts down in a diary helped me because it gave me something to look over and try and make sense of things.  It's much harder to sit there and try and work it all out in your head.

    It is possible to feel better so don't give up hope.
