Struggle functioning when stressed

Zowski

Hi, I'm new here. I was diagnosed with ASD when I was 6 but haven't really ever understood it as no one has really told me about it. I had some support as a child but now I'm an adult I feel like I'm all alone with it. 

I noticed when I'm stressed I struggle to function. Some days if I'm stressed I forget to eat and drink, I can't go out and I'm too anxious and overwhelmed to answer the phone. Though I never like to answer the phone anyway.

How do you cope with every day life and keep functioning? I'm nearly 30 and the more time goes by the more it feels like I'm failing to cope with the hassles of every day life. 

I don't know what to do to help myself. I'm really at a loss on what to do next.

    Hi Bunny

    Thanks so much for all your help here. Dr Megan Neff is an amazing person, I find her so inspiring I've seen some of her interviews and chats on YT. Seriously recommend if you haven't seen any before.

    Thanks for all the links I'm sure they'll all be really helpful to me. I really appreciate your help here.
