Whisky, sorry you feel this way? Is it worth going to your GP and asking for some support? I recently went back on anti anxiety meds and feel soooooo much better! I also understand about feeling like people are laughing behind your back but I'm sure it's a lie.
Big higs xx
Hi pennie-jane. Before the restrictions came in I saw my gp and explained all tthis in tears and the last thing he said to me was comee back when you have a real medical problem. I had my therapy sessionn person but in the end i couldnt afford to get there anymore. She diid say she would come to me but i dont want to put her to trouble not even sure if she d come now. It's like a constant nightmare all the time!
Big hugs to xx
hi sky
is there another GP thats familair to you that you could go see ,as the dr telling you to come back when you have a real medical probelm is not how a professional should be speaking to you at all .The GP obviously has no insight into autism and the severe anxiety and how it can impact on your mental health.
Is there a naitional autistic society in your area you could ring for advise as they may no of a service in your area where theres advocates for adults with autism/ severe anxiety/feeling very depressed so an advocate or some one trained in autism who could go to the DRS with you .As its really hard to explain communicate reg autism and its impact ,and the advocate could ensure that your autism severe anxiety and mental health difficulties get adquently addressed and supported with maybe medication and through services like healthy minds etc.
im sorry you have been through such a lot of very traumatic ordeals
traumatic ordeals like loved ones being very ill and dying can impact on us severely i became very depressed and had severe anxiety after my dad died.My dr was very understanding and listened to what i told him about how i felt as i was having severe anxiety panic attacks all the time and i was barely eating and barely sleeping.And i was having so many negative thoughts they overwhelmed me and i felt traumatised all the time and i was struggling to cope daily,even trying to go out caused me severe anxiety and panic and traumatised me.My dr listened to me and said i have depression and severe anxiety and put me on antidepressents,which evetually helped me feel lots better.
losing loved ones and loved ones being very ill is big traumas for us and there is a councelling services respect for all for people with autism my family has used them in the past they was very lovely to my son who has autism and helped him feel much better.
They let you chat about what you want or feel the need to chat about i dont know if this services operates in your area if not .The national autistic society would know of other services that would be able to support you .
autism is hard and can be a struggle every day to cope with daily things and losing a loved one is one of the most traumatic things we can go through no wonder you feeling like you are .Its important you get the right support,and the right help from services that are trained in autism.
Keep putting messages on here too as theres lots of lovely people on here who will want to offer you advise support as its full of nice friendly folk on here .
