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 sorry to hear this.  I haven't been bereaved, but I suffered from depression for a long time.  It *is* possible for things to get better.  Please don't give up hope.  Is there anything at all you enjoy at the moment?

    Is bereavement counselling an option for you?  I have also felt that mental health teams are often not very helpful.

    I'm sorry about your depression. I hope your ok at the moment x

    I've been colouring lately and I guess that's been kind of fun just keeping me busy from all the pain and stress. 

    Yes I am on the waiting list for bereavement support but I don't know how long it will be.

    Xx
