Lethergy and autism

Hello! This is the first time using this site, I Really need some insight into certain behavioural patterns I have as I'm feeling a bit alone... Anyway I'm 22 and female, I've always had periods of feeling disconnected from the real world since being a child, it's like a need to be in my own little world away from everything and anyone. This need is usually spent in bed Where I just want to be left alone. this feeling usually happens after being busy or over stimulated and usually wears off after a day or two. But sometimes I get sudden periods of extreme lethargy and fatigue where I really can't be bothered doing anything, where even simple tasks seem a to much. I literally just want to spend all my time in bed doing nothing but think of the things I enjoy, at the start it's quite enjoyable but after a while I become irritable and annoyed especially when I'm not left alone. My mind starts to wonder to not very nice things which can lead to anxiety and a fear of being in the dark, I use to suffer from sleep paralysis when I was hit hard by depression and I really don't want it to come back. Am I the only one who suffers from this? How do I stop the lethargic feeling?

  • <p>Hello! Thank you for getting back to me :) I've not sought any medical help for this particular issue because I felt it was linked to depression/anxiet, I feel at this current point in my life that I'm not depressed but the letharg still happens I'll be sure to go to the doctor about it, I've had a feeling it was some form of chronic fatigue syndrome as well, I'll speak to my doctor about that. I have been diagnosed with autism at 11 so there is definitely a link to my autism. I do yes, once again thank you for your response. im sure you're ex struggled as much as I do but her story is very relatabl, thank you for sharing.</p>
