Frustrations

Having a very frustrating week. Struggling not to get really irritated by other people and getting very hyper aware of how I am being perceived and whether I have done the right thing. I cannot switch off from this and had a terrible night's sleep last night because of it. It's making me feel really stressed.

I'm still trying to chase up and answer from mental health as to what support they can offer but even when I do get an answer it's going to be years of waiting for it.

So sick of the lack of accessible support. I had had a positive appointment at an autism hub but I haven't had the email summary of that through and any support they can offer yet either so I feel like I'm in total limbo at the moment. 

My head feels so full and no amount of writing things down, telling myself that they aren't worries I can deal with now - none of it works. I've tried using relaxing videos, distractions of special interests etc as well and nothing is budging these thoughts or feelings.

Really want these mental spirals to go away.

  • I hope this isn't me projecting, but is your mattress comfortable? And your pillows too? If you're uncomfortable in bed then it will hinder sleep and make you toss and turn more, pillows that are a bit knackered and don't support your head will make your neck bend and can constrict the blood supply to your brain, making you feel woolly headed on waking.
