Hey @Blake_RO 

thanks Natalie for replying school was definitely extra challenging without having the supports i needed to help me get through it's still been very challenging to feel connected and supported by those around me and still facing a lot of struggles with gaining supports particularly around gaining supports like support workers to help me get out and about more as limited available public transport options and not having my licence yet has meant difficulties in getting out with any friends i manage to make and having to rely on parents to drive me around rather than being able to get to places on my own has been making trying to gain my own independence very difficult i have one close friend who is autistic like me though and who also suffers through depression and who opened up to me today and i was able to share my own feelings as to what i've been going through and it was really nice to be able to talk to someone who knows what it's like to feel a little depressed and isolated and who could really relate to the depression i've been feeling recently and i've also been looking into the process of a therapist or psychologist to help go through what i've been processing at the moment i've been suffering through low mood swings for a while and my feelings of depression have been a little bad today that not even reading or colouring in have been helping me stay grounded much but trying to find other ways of grounding myself when i start to feel overwhelmed
