Do you ever cry?

Do you ever cry?

It is such a rare occurrence for me, but today I did when I was exercising in my garage gym. I think I know why I did, but often understanding my emotions can be a bit confusing for me.

I think many things got on top of me in this instance (both positive and negative feelings) that it came out in this way. It’s quite an intense thing really.

I just wondered what everyone’s experiences with this was as I know everyone is different.

  • Since confirming that I am autistic, I have cried a lot.  Thinking through past issues and some of the heart-breaking realities of being autistic .... Hopefully that will settle down as I get used to the new reality, but while I have bad days, even this is better than the dead-inside creature I was before.

    This is a very relatable reply too- thank you.

    I certainly felt an awful lot post diagnosis. But in time, a lot of those emotions made way for lots of wonderful moments of realisation too. Time really was the key. That said, it’s still a very up and down journey a few years on, but definitely one I’m glad to have taken.

    I hope things ease up for you in time. Lots of reflection too, but hopefully lots of self-acceptance to accompany as well.
