Hellooo, I am really in need of some advice from other autistic people that have experienced something similar, which I'm sure a lot of you have!
I'm 20 and tried to go to uni last year, got into law at a great uni, but after like a month and a half my mental health absolutely spiralled and I dropped out six moths later. It has been almost a year since I stopped attending university and I haven't gotten better yet. I know it's going to be a very long process, but I don't feel like any progress is being made as everything feels so impossibly hard. I'm not doing well looking after myself, showering, brushing teeth, cooking etc. I almost never leave my flat. I've also started to struggle with alcohol abuse.
Do you have any tips on how to start making progress? I feel so stuck, and angry at myself. I'm in therapy, but that doesn't help with actually DOING things yk?? All replies will be greatly appreciated :)
i have been to uni 4 times and never been able to finish. There is alot of pressure to do a degree and of course pressure to obtain career progression. Looking after yourself has to come first. Sorry to hear that you are not doing so well. I dont have suggestions right now but hope you find a way forward :)
