Hi guys, I’m new here and recently got my diagnosis (June), this is my first post. So not sure if it’s relevant.
But I was just wondering, in general has anyone got any tips on handling the feeling of being overwhelmed? I’m not sure if this even is because of my autism but figured this is the best place to find out.
what I mean by being overwhelmed is for example I had to help my dad by doing his power of attorney request and help to speak his mobile provider as his phone wasn’t working. I spent all weekend thinking about this and was really stressed all day leading up to it. Snappy, short, distracted. I had this feeling that I had far too much going on and just generally felt overwhelmed.
It took me a total of about an hour to do what I had to do and I just remember finishing it and thinking ‘why have I stressed so much over that!’
