Hi all,
I've been struggling a lot lately.
While I seem to be doing okay socially, with school, and with work, (not entirely with my relationship, but I've been creating most of the anxiety myself). I've been mostly just having a lot of depression issues and existentialist problems. A lot of my depression comes from my autism. I have so much built up self doubt and I have this thing to hate about myself. I'm not sure what will even work because even if I treat depression, will I ever get over the fact that I'm autistic?
I just wanted to what kinds of treatments have worked the best for you guys? What kinds of therapy? What meds? Does anything help you not hate yourself at the end of the day, especially if you have similar issues that I do? I'm so stuck in my own head, I have such a dependent personality, and I just can't love myself or be happy. I wonder what my purpose is a lot even if things are going well.
Sorry for venting a bit. I just know I need to do something. I've been to therapy, and my last therapist was nice but didn't make much of a difference. I haven't been on medication since I was 18. I'm a bit nervous about it.
