Really struggling :(

chloes81

Hi guys I’m having a really really hard time at the moment

I’m undergoing diagnosis for Autism, I also have ADHD, fibromyalgia, a stomach problem, depression, anxiety IT GOES ON!

I’ve been off work with my asthma for 2 weeks - working from home for a week. As my my doctors note (work don’t really allow it)

I’m really really struggling with everything and I don’t know if it’s autism getting on top of me or just everything.

I woke up this morning and the thought of going to work had made me ball my eyes out for nearly a hour and nearly be sick because how much I’m cry, which then sets my asthma off!

It’s not that I don’t like my job, the job is okay I’ve been doing it from home it’s just the thought of going to work, leaving the house, being in an office with a load of people is literally making me have a breakdown and cry every morning.

I’ve told work I’m undergoing autism diagnosis and all the other issues I have but they don’t seem to understand.

I think I’m just going through a burnout but I have no idea what to do, I haven’t looked much into autism except the last year and I feel like it’s (I know it can’t) just getting worse and worse to the point I don’t even want to leave to go to work anymore it’s really effecting me.

  • I think it's stress. An assessment is a load of unknowns, you have to think about a lot of stuff you probably don't want to, you see new people and you don't know what the outcome will be. It is a big distraction, which if you are close to the edge anyway, is too much. Chuck in some other uncertainty or something you don't like, and your emotions become hard to control. This stops you sleeping which makes it all worse.

    Can you get some leave, even just a few days. Then try to do nothing or something you like. But have some rest and drink enough water.
