I'm feeling stressed and generally rundown. Exhaustion is creeping in with it, slowly but surely. A big part of my autism is being socially written. Anxiety has been in control of my life for the past fifteen years, since high school, and it's only getting worse. I suffer from GAD and it's made life more than difficult for me. I try to stay in, if at all possible. I don't work, I'd like to and have tried many times, but I always crash before I can get anywhere. I'm currently signed off though I do hope to be well enough to work at some point.
I've got an appointment coming up, in a couple of weeks time, at the start of September. This is more less a check up, physical and mental health. I'm already obsessing about my check up and worrying about ... everything, this happens to me whenever I've got something new coming up. It's affecting my sleep. My mood is generally lower.
I guess all of us get affected this way by appointments. How do you cope?
The one saving grace is that the appointment is via Zoom, so at least I don't have to leave the house and no one is coming in.
I did introduce myself before. Hi I'm Destiny, yes, that is my actual name, thanks to my eccentric mother ... ... I am socially withdrawn online as well which is why I'm not here much. I feel anxious and uncomfortable but I'm trying my hardest to interact more.
