[QUOTE="Patrick66, post: 1973867, member: 497846"] I know I am. Okay so I am Autistic which isn't helpful in the first place..but.. I just find myself frequently overwhelmed. I have accompanying diagnoses of Dysthymia, Anxiety Disorder and Anhedonia. Last year I was very suicidal to the point of having made definite plans. In fact I still stockpile drugs for the eventuality.. Diabetes is just an annoyance, an extra thing I really could do without but am now faced living with. My work is incredibly stressful and the sense of being undervalued is colossal but finding this job was hard enough after three years unemployed so, finding an "Autism friendly" job is a nightmare. I have been under the care of the Community Mental Health Team for over 8 years now; exhausted the anti-depressants, had the mindfulness (Didn't work), had my Father pass away, my Mum commit suicide, been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and worry constantly, or cry...which doesn't help blood sugar levels. But I'm still here. Not sure I really want to be as living without any interest is just existing..but I'm here..but why does it have to be so tough ??!!. [/QUOTE]
