Rant

Ems

I’m so frustrated. I keep having days where one thing goes wrong and it messes up my whole day and makes me feel like the end of the world and everything goes wrong. It makes me want to cry and I feel so irritated and I can feel everything - I can feel my clothes too much and everything is irritating. I hate it so much. Especially as it’s little things that go wrong first which a neurotypical person would be able to ignore or get past, but I always feel so stuck and focused on it. These days always make everything worse as it continues to disrupt my routine and messes up my day. I just feel like I’m in a constant spiral and on the verge of a meltdown. Over one thing going wrong.

  • Hi!

    I don’t know if that helps at all… Today my note-taking-App forced me to try out the new version. Everything looked different and I didn’t like it. I wasn’t able to study anymore for the entire rest of the day (I have an important oral exam coming up) and an hour ago I started crying in the gym because somebody touched me slightly (thankfully nobody saw me and it was at the end of my session). 

    There are days like this. And they will keep coming, but eventually they’ll be over. Throw on your favourite show, pull out your favourite book or whatever provides comfort for yourself. It’s easy to feel useless, ashamed and guilty, I get it. But the worst of it will pass, it always does.

    It is nice to know I’m not alone in this. But I’m also sorry you’re struggling similarly. I share your experiences with crying at the gym! I have cried in the toilets quite a few times from disruptions to my routine and overstimulation. It’s hard because it’s the only time I get out of the house is to go to the gym and it’s good for my mental health. But it’s also really hard all the time
