Does anyone else ever feel like this

Fen

Hi guys, I just wanted to see if anyone ever gets the gets periods where they get mentally so overwhelmed and if so, what helps you feel better? 

I don’t feel sad or low in my mood, I just am finding I can become quite overwhelmed and nervous by my own thoughts and over think easier than usual. I also have less capacity to mask and less desire to socialise.  

I don’t deal well with changes and uncertainties and I’m having quite a few  in my life atm, so that could be playing a role. 

I find I feel so overwhelmed by everything, and even though I don’t feel sad necessarily, if I allow myself to cry for 5 minutes it’s like realise of the anxiety and I feel slightly better. Maybe that also helps as the cry represents me activity accepting how I feel instead of trying to bury it inside and ignoring how I feel, which is a habit I always used to do. 

I hope I made sense and haven’t just rambled! Can anyone else relate to this ? 

Hope everyone is having a great day Blush

  • Also, I think I am realising I used to socialise more due to wanting to fit in and feeling the need to mask to prove i’m “normal” more than actually wanting to socialise. 

    Seeing how “most people” love socialising and realising I find it so exhausting compared to others around me, often makes me feel odd or strange. I know deep down that is not the case, but being late diagnosed, I am still learning who I am and that authentic me is fine, and there is no need to try be someone I am not. 

    Does this relate to anyone else?
