Feeling overwhelmed
I have so much to do..
I'm so tired. There's just so much and it's too much. I hate relying on other people but I have no choice.
I'm trying so hard with everything and nothing's working and I'm exhausted and overwhelmed.
I want to cry but I don't have the energy.
I barely have the energy to move.
I don't know how I'm going to do everything I need to do.
Right I think I might be dissociating from the physical pain a bit because this feels like pain minus the actual hurting bit.
Hopefully painkillers will help?
Head feels numb and is throbbing and legs ache but feel distant and I'm so so tired
@Bananatime04 yes oh my gosh my heart feels like I've just done a sprint it's really happening
I can’t wait to see photos

I think in a week or two they were able to move me from 7th place to first place!!!
It is indescribably frustrating to be looking for advice from other autistic people about stimming and instead finding a heap of controlling neurotypicals debating on whether or not autistic people should be "allowed" to stim like they get to fucking choose what we do.
I will flap my hands if I damn well please.
Hey @Tiny_leaf,
I totally agree with @Eden1717, if something is troubling you then it isn't too small, even if others think it is. It might be helpful to talk about it here, because that way you can get support from the community Or if you don't feel up for talking, we can always talk about something else 🙂
Wow thanks to the asshole who found a positivity tag and posted their bigoted bullshit on it.
@Tiny_leaf I am sorry you are feeling lonely it is hard enough to feel connected normally but with everything that has been going on lately it is even more difficult.
I don't really know..
I'm just trying to distract myself but I guess I just wanted to know that someone was there.
Which sounds kinda sad...
@Tiny_leaf It isn’t sad to want that it is just one if those human things. Don’t feel bad about wanting connection it is very normal and ok.
It’ll be okay though, I’m here for you

Do you wanna talk more about how you feel or do you just need someone to chat with? We could hit the games threads or talk about something random if you don’t wanna talk about it 🙂
Hi @Tiny_leaf. Really sorry to hear that you're feeling so many uncomfortable emotions. I often get pretty overwhelmed also but struggle to find the motivation to do anything.
I know for myself going for a walk helps a lot with those uncomfortable feelings as you're being productive and also allowing yourself to breathe. I know you said you barely have the energy to move, but I do really encourage you to even just do some stretching for 5 minutes if you feel comfortable.
I'm curious as to why you struggle to rely on other people?
I also hope you know that all those things that you need to do can wait! Your own health is so much more important. I know for me I get to points where I still have so much work to do but I have no more energy/motivation to do anymore that I have to pull myself away, watch some trash tv, read a good book or just go to sleep.
@letsheal my health depends in them they really can't wait.
Plus I'm nearly out of NDIS funding so I can't push back that meeting.
Everything that I could put back I have. I've even had to put back some things I really shouldn't.
And it's still all too much.
I struggle to rely on people because the people I have to rely on are very unreliable, but I get no choice.
