I’m Kieran I don’t know we’re I’m going all of the time but have a sense of direction where I am and what I can see forward ahead of me I’m autistic and struggle with ocd and occupation I always feel so outa of the game my mind is like broken all wounded up and corrupted to just the point nothing makes sense it’s like I’m empty and I can not sit still and process something like watch tv or a game it’s horrible I think it’s adhd but I also think I might be wrong? I don’t know if it’s because I need to meet friends and make friends because I have none I struggle quite a lot with understanding but I also can be aware I’m empathetic and can be good for mental health I’m just all over the shop I’m out of my body the possession of my moment of my time/life at minute isn’t me but I can also see my self calm agin in a /my mind set as /when I was a kid in the same room , same place watching things a liked and now life has took over me since I’ve growing up I’m 18 now just turned last month and I struggle a lot now it’s like someone in my head .
Hi Kieran - I think Def Leepard has some good advice there and from what I am reading you might find information on anxiety and autistic burnout useful? Have a look at the information I'm linking below:
Anxiety https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/mental-health/anxiety
Autistic fatigue and burnout https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/mental-health/autistic-fatigue
Also, not sure if you have had a look already or not but you may be interested in contacting a local National Autistic Society branch. Our branches offer support to local autistic people and their families. If you interesting in checking if there is a local branch near to you, please follow the link below: https://www.autism.org.uk/what-we-do/local-branches
Our branches are volunteer-led, and as such every branch and group is different. Some are parent support groups, some provide support and information to autistic adults, while others have office premises and run their own a drop-in service. You will need to check with a branch directly for more information on whether they are able to provide a particular service that you are interested in.
Hope something there helps,
