Hi

Hi I'm Alien. I'm autistic and today wasn't great. I've been trying to succeed in work but I'm finding it too much, my anxiety is triggered and heightened all the time and medication hasn't been helping either. Today I couldn't cope again and had two meltdowns and my mum and dad have said not to go back to work. But I hate being at home I feel like I should be working and it's unsettling reading about the benefits being cut for people with a disability.

At a loss I really am. I don't know whether I should keep trying to work or if I should listen to my parents and stop working. A few years ago I was in a terrible situation with my mental health and I had to go to hospital and I'm worried it's going to happen again. I don't know where to go from here with my life. I feel like so much is riding on what I do next.
