This Week, I’ve decided to take a look how my autism affects my mental health. In some cases it can be a lot. For me personally it can be a handful of emotional things. I’ve narrowed down some of the most common feelings I get most often during difficult situations:
Depression:
Sometimes I feel like autism and depression can be combined together, especially for challenging situations, I remember one time a guy called me “Autistic gobsh*** and I was like heck, how I’m I going to deal with a situation like this? Thankfully there were people to help me out, but even talking about what happened sometimes really upset me. I don’t suffer from depression or haven’t been diagnosed with it but sometimes deep down I feel it. Sometimes it hurt inside as little as from speaking to someone about my disability to even sorting out a situation that is uncommon with. Depression can effect anyone, so it’s important to check in with one and other and talking about it and it can help someone who is effected.
Communication Breakdown:
Another thing, most people with autism sometimes think that the communication is poor. I don’t believe that, people said to me mixture things about my communication skills. Some good some bad (majority good stuff) but what can effectively effect my mental health is someone said something to me and then someone else doesn’t listen, it effects me personally and it can knock me out a bit.
Conclusion:
It can be like a rollercoaster ride, one moment your enjoying yourself until you come down to earth. It can be a mixed emotional journey from time to time. Especially with the lockdown, I’m limited to do the things I love and I can’t see my loved ones (I’m with my parents whom I’m thankful for what they have done for) Autism can really knock you about for most of the days and there is no cure for it. We are who we are.
I hope you are enjoying my articles as much as I write them! Please feel free to connect with me on my socials.
