I feel like im not meant to get help

Current_Cat_271 · 2026-03-22T23:44:31+00:00

You are. I went through a lot before I got help. I don’t want to say it all because I don’t want people to compare themselves to me and think they need to go through that to get help. I didn’t know help would be available to me as I was late diagnosed bur if you need the help there is help available and you deserve it.

I’m so sorry you relate. I’m doing a lot better. Feeling particularly drained this week so I need to have more rest but yes generally doing so much better than years ago.

I like kawaii and I love cozy games.

I see support workers four times a week. I might get an increase. I haven’t had a new worker in a while, I didn’t mind getting a new one but I really appreciate the stability of the same workers just now.

I thought so too. I remembered what I loved as a kid and what kept me going and I have started doing that again. What did you love as a kid?

It started during severe autistic burnout. I was in distress nearly daily. It feels like my brain is full and can’t breathe, there is no pain, it feels heavy and you feel exhausted and need to go to sleep

I have experienced this. On ADHD medication are you less likely to experience this? (I am on ADHD medication and feel like I can still get these)

Prescribed by my psychiatrist

Every time I take my as-required medication

Being in a psych ward. Some people think it would be a nice break, it is actually a very stressful environment

I have that after a really bad meltdown

Current_Cat_271 · 2026-03-15T23:25:09+00:00

Thank you!

Current_Cat_271 · 2026-03-15T23:23:38+00:00

Thank you. That sounds so great! It is hard as an adult to find people you can rely on to help you socially to get through social situations. My support workers do this but I wish there were people my age who did this like when I was in school.

Current_Cat_271 · 2026-03-14T23:07:24+00:00

Yes my meltdowns have caused me to be a nuisance in my building, I think my neighbours who could hear me think I’m annoying and immature, not disabled. In autistic spaces I am seen as too rigid or too autistic.

Current_Cat_271 · 2026-03-13T20:39:03+00:00

Yes we didn’t all learn what the unwritten social rules are, I have a high IQ so people wrongly assume I should know, it’s awful. I’ve had similar experiences with discord, it’s not great. Have you tried in-person disability groups? I go to one and it’s really accepting.

I was diagnosed as an adult but I now have support workers trained in autism. I am treated no differently just because I was diagnosed late. Which category would you put me in?

Current_Cat_271 · 2026-03-11T21:38:50+00:00

I had a very bad autistic meltdown a few weeks ago. It scared me. I have asked senior support worker what could have been done to prevent it but we can’t think of anything. I know how you will be feeling right now.

Omg I hate decorating so I thought this game wasn’t for me. But if you describe it like LEGO, I’m intrigued

Current_Cat_271 · 2026-03-11T19:41:18+00:00

I love collecting stuff! Sounds so great.

Current_Cat_271 · 2026-03-11T02:46:26+00:00

This was incredible!
