I feel like the world is ending

Jakey

I'm really struggling at the moment. Going through another lot of autistic burnout. It's negatively impacting my mood and leading me to suicidal thoughts and depression.

My home situation isn't being addressed by the people responsible for it despite asking multiple times. I've been ignored, every, single, [removed by mod], time. The NHS won't provide funding for better equipment and comfort for my situation, one involving gastrointestinal issues. And my sensory issues are treated like a joke. Almost as though they think I'm faking it. I almost had ear drums popped earlier from car tyres that make that really consistent bumping sound. On top of that the current political situations really bother me where it feels like anyone I know that doesn't support the right party is going to kill me. [removed by mod]

I feel like a worthless human being with nothing good to show for myself. Waste of space and talentless. I can't find comfort anyway. It's hard to stay happy. My life is just being ruined. I wouldn't need to ask for help if my local council could help me find/build a small house for me to live in on my own, and Universal Credit/Disability needs to pay me more to address the problems the NHS won't so I can better meet my needs. I feel a lot of despair and grief.

  • The News is designed to install fear, into us, while pushing their Sponsors' Produce. That's the long, and short, of it.

    Plus, modern cities have become homogenised Zoos. Cities such as London, Belfast, Dublin, Manchester, etc lost their character; and identity. Rural living is better, all round. Even though the pace, rurally, isn't as slow as it used to be.

    The best way forward is to find a Hobby/Pastime. I'm growing spuds, in a plot at a Community Garden. Gives me a sense of purpose.

    I agree Desmond. It’s very hard not be affective by the collective madness that we are presented with day after day online and in the News etc. Sometimes you just have to metaphorically close all the doors and windows of your psychological ‘house’ and say ‘enough is enough!’ and refuse to engage with it for a while. It’s not easy to have good mental health in this society. I think people often blame themselves and think they’re broken if they feel overwhelmed - but it’s often partly more about the outer state of things rather than just our own internal state or personal resilience. Good luck with the spuds! I can’t actually eat them because they seem to aggravate my arthritis in my hip (I had hip dysplasia as a child and I get a bit of trouble from it now) - which is a great shame because I absolute love potato - one of my absolutely favourite foods! Especially when combined with a lot of real butter!
