Hello everyone. I dont know how to start. All my life i have had mental health problems and to be honest a lot has happend through the years. I am in my mid 30s and only recently being told by the mental health team they think I am autistic and so I contacted the autism service and i had a letter to explain they would like to talk with me. I honestly dont know how to live properly, I never have. My memory problems im having and my mental health have become worse over the years and they continue. But there is a whole lot to how im feeling each day and emotions never know how to stay level. Hopfully I can explain more as time goes on. The mental health team advised I come to the site and understand a little more. I look on how to help myself and I dont know if im going through a burn out? here i am. I want to learn and understand. I dont feel heard majority of the time so im grateful for any help I can get

  • Hi WolfQueen and welcome, it sounds like you are going through a difficult time and many many people here have experienced that. Your post makes me think you are bobbing about not really sure what will help you or how to find that. Spend some time reading other people’s experiences here, especially the titles that you like, and be kind to yourself. There is always something that can be done to help you feel better but you haven’t found it yet.

    Exactly. Thank you so much. Iv always said i dont know who i am. How is feel lost. My motivation to get myself to do things I used to enjoy is lacking very much. Im trying now to find ways to help myself and forcing myself to get back to some arty things I like to do. Unfortunately iv been through a recent hard time with my ex which is not helping at all and it all makes me feel stuck

    I have also said I don’t know who I am in the past. I have spent some time thinking about my childhood and younger adult years. I have had quite a hard time of it. Find joy in small things each day, whether that’s seeing a bird out of your window, or hearing a favourite song on the radio, small steps and don’t be hard on yourself.
