Fighting burnout / meltdown / stress

Lana.Dory

I'm going to university in September and I filled out the financial forms wrong and I'm struggling to fill them out correctly. The deadline was the 15th. On top of that I'm struggling to finish my last unit of college because of all the stress and over the last 2 weeks there have been too many changes and I narrowly avoided a meltdown at work over something seemingly small to many.

Overall I'm struggling a lot and I don't think most of the neurotypical support services will understand.

  • Hello Lana.Dory.

    I hear you, navigating to university can be a great struggle on our mental health, and that is before factoring in personal circumstances - As an autistic young person, I ended up struggling over several years whilst trying to achieve against deeply unsupportive odds.

    You deserve to achieve in a way that is right for you - while I see that our fantastically community are already proving suggestions, I  would like to direct you towards the following resource to look at, when you have the time:

    starting college or university

    Autistic fatigue and burnout

    Furthermore, I wonder what resources there may be local to your area:

    Autism Services Directory

    I wish you the best in moving forwards with your application, Lana.Dory,

    Thanks - Zac Mod.
