Autism and Mental Health

Hi there 

How are you?

I was wondering if anyone on here is struggling with their mental health? I have severe anxiety, depression and autistic shutdown which (started in August 2019) and I’m finding it a real struggle to get better and lift myself back up to who I used to be. I feel my body, mind and personality has been taken over by someone else.

Please can I ask how you manage? What sort of things do you do to relax and work your way through your mental health struggles? Do you have any traditions or special ways of helping your mental health? 


I am in a lot of pain ( in my tummy) and feel sick quite a bit through the day.

If I can help anyone please let me know. I’m very interested to learn about other people’s experiences and ways of managing.

Thank you and best wishes

  • I work in a call centre(I know right?) and the job can get me into lockdown very easily. when I feel overwhelmed I crawl into bed, cover my eyes and ears and put on some loud and rhythmic music, I can then "tune" myself to the pulse of the music and calm down that way.
