Lights, sounds, smells, everything is extra intolerable lately. I cant seem to make myself do stuff, I cant make decisions. I feel tired and am getting headaches. Words are harder. I keep almost having meltdown/shutdowns (just today I felt like a meltdown every 30min). Im exhausted
I want it all to stop, I want to take a break from everything but I cant. I have homework, I have school, on friday we have an assembly which I always get overwhelmed at but im scared ill have a full on meltdown because I seem to not even be able to handle everyday stimuli so how could I survive a room with hundreds of students with everyone screaming to get hyped for stupid turnabout dance
I started feeling like rubbish for a couple weeks but then the last 3 days have been absolutly unbearable. Why is life so hard
Took me 21min to type this (not even that long of a post...)
Is it possible the time of year isn’t helping? I had to take three days off work last week and I’m still barely functional and my social media is full of people who seem to be suffering from January blues.
Doesn’t your school make any allowances for additional sick time because of your condition?

Maybe?

I dont think so. But either way they dont know im autistic so it wouldnt matter
Do you have a SEN/ SEND department/ team at school?
if so you should contact them immediately to discuss what's going on. Any child with special educational needs should automatically be on their register but obviously, if they don't know they won't have you on it.
