This happens to me all the time. I have a good day and I feel I’ve made great strides and then I crash to the bottom again and my step forward is more like ten steps back. I don’t know if it’s autism related or if it’s mental health, I suffer with both. It is exhausting though. I spend so much time in a constant duel against myself trying to get on in life and when I feel I’m making progress I end up taking the steps back and realise I’ve made no progress at all, leaving that familiar taste of disappointment.
I'm in a hole and I can't get out and reach where I want. The body is willing, the mind is unwilling it seems.
