Dysmindwill

Hi I’m Cee, 

I have lots of depression and my mental health team seem adamant I’m autistic. It makes sense I guess. I’ve struggled forever. I feel broken though. Like I don’t belong and never will belong and the world isn’t made for me. I have a 12 year old son. I self harm too. Everything is getting worse. I struggle to talk verbally. I’m now on summer holidays from work. I saw my physiatrist today but it didn’t go well. I feel like I’m not wanted. I guess I’m not. I’ve attempted suicide a few times. How do you guys cope? I get so many emotions. I feel so alone.

  • Hello Cee,

    Firstly, I would like to say that you are not alone in feeling like this. I can heavily relate to some of the issues you are facing, such as the feeling of not belonging or even struggling with simply BEING. 
    It’s okay to struggle, and I’m glad that you’re still here with us.

    A thing that I do in times of distress is perhaps a hobby or activity that provides me comfort, such as reading or baking. The feeling of being in my own world and creating something is very fulfilling - or I find that even just doing things with friends and family can help distract me.

    I am young, so unfortunately my advice may not be as wise or helpful as those who have been around for longer - but I hope you know you are wanted and needed. Hopefully this forum can help prove that to you!

    have a wonderful day :)
