Mental Problems

Selena

I'm having a difficulties with my mental health. 

I've been depressed since my Mum passed away a few years back. Life with ASD was hard anyway but since this happened I've just sank further in to depression and now I feel numb and alone. I have no one and nothing in my life worth anything at all. My GP has set me up with a mental health team but they don't care and are no help.

I've been trying to keep busy with hobbies but I don't enjoy much anymore. I'm just tired of everything. I tried going out but my anxiety disorder is wrecking me. Going out results in meltdown and I can't cope with it.

I'm here because as we all have autism I'm hoping you'll understand how this all feels.

  • I'm no expert, but my son has mental health problems with ASD. Try and focus on your favourite things and try and distract yourself with anything you can when you feel low. Anything that will help you through. I really hope you can get some help. You deserve it and you are not alone.
