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.

  • We understand for sure, I think nearly everyone on the spectrum feels this way at one point or another.

    Talking here is a good step in the right direction we'll stand with you during the hard times. I would avoid the mental health teams and doctors, from my own experience and hearing others they always make it worse.

    And I'm sorry about your mum. Hang in there lovely.
