Hi everyone!
Great to meet you and looking forward to chatting with people much like myself!!
I was diagnosed at the end of last year after years and years of what I was told was depression and anxiety- but I've been really struggling with meltdowns recently and had one at work yesterday, which resulted in me being dragged into the office and being told to go home as it was radiating on to the staff and the residents. I was also told I should see my GP. All of this has left me feeling all kinds of mixed feelings. My meltdowns aren't the shouting type, I get very emotional and cry but I can't help but feel ashamed of myself like I've done something wrong? Also, I was on my break when all this occured and other members of staff were there to witness it- I just felt I couldn't control it like anxiety took over? The next thing I knew the manager was shouting from the bottom of the garden for me to get into her office.
I just feel completely drained today, mentally and physically. Like I can't function and like I won't be able to hold down any work no matter how much I try. Always happens at work, I'll be fine for a while then "boom" haha!!
I just want to know if anyone else struggles like this and if there any tips/ways you can manage this? It'll be great to get some advice from some fellow aspies/auties & other lovely neurodiverse! It's so difficult trying to sustain a lifestyle in a world full of NT's sometimes- although they do try to help most of the time I feel like they just don't 'get it' -which of course, they won't. Just really at a loss atm.
Thanks for allowing me to vent!
