Hi everyone.
I am recently diagnosed autistic and I am only just grappling with that, following my recent posts. My mum is seriously ill (can't give specific details on this, sorry) and I'm trying to support her the best ways I can. It is taking a toll emotionally on me, as I don't like to see her ill. I have to keep an eye on her from time to time. It worries me all the time.
I am really attentive towards her as much as I can, and checking in on her regularly to make sure she's doing ok. Giving her some space if she needs it. Making her a hot drink, or just spending time with her.
It is really hurting me inside and I'm doing the best I possibly can right now. It breaks me inside and I'm close to tears.
I'm not a carer and I do not gain financially from it either. I do it with good intentions.
Any words of encouragement or uplifting are most welcome to cheer me up. Thank you.
