Hi just wanted to know how everyone's mental health is. I'm mid 20s now and in the last five years mine has been terrible and currently I'm in a really bad place. I've been in hospital four times and tried to end my life twice. I'm not proud of that but I can't help it it's just the way I'm feeling lately. My main problems are depression, ptsd, ocd, anxiety and psychotic disorder. I have medication and frequent assessments which usually land me in hospital.
Is this related to Autism or is it just one of those things? I don't know much about it.
Hi Emily,
Thank you for sharing this. This is a question and a situation that I also have been struggling with.
LOTS OF US HAVE THIS PROBLEM. And having it as sticky recurrent thinking which is difficult to distract from is even worse.
Hopefully you can find a positive direction. For me this id trying to develop a suicide prevention app, specifically for autistic spectrum people, based on lived experience of what we have found helpful.
Making a contribution to help others, helps me feel better!
What would you like to happen??????
