It’s either: I go out there and become more traumatized vs stay at home in complete isolation and become depressed from the loneliness. That’s it.

Autistic, Analytical, Direct :
I have to keep telling people, it’s not depression, it’s awareness and there is a difference. Most neurotypicals can’t understand the later because they have never been forced to confront the corners of their mind or reality. We were.

growing up is realizing there is litterally 0 point to living in this world. especially because IT COULD ALL SO INCREDIBLY FKIN EASILY BE BETTER AND ALL PEOPLE WOULD NEED TO DO IS SIMPLY DECIDE TO STOP BEING LIL BISHES GOD DAMM

It's very hard to find a doctor that knows about Autism in adult women.

I could not have said this better! I have a MA in clinical psychology and an EdD in Ed Psych. I was a professor of psychology. I have presented research, shown the inefficacy of every med I’ve been prescribed and… crickets.

Every time this loops it enrages me bc the amount of gaslighting I’ve gotten from MHCP is beyond abhorrent.

AuDHD here. I struggle with the same thiing in the swiss medical systems. Misdiagnosed with depression & anxiety for 20 years.The system doesn't want to understand the complexity of the problem, they just want us over medicated and functioning

Immediate follow. I always felt like depression didn’t quite fit but didn’t know why!! It seemed too easy of a label for something that was more complex

I had a psych dr laugh mockingly at me when I told him I did not drink alcohol. My parents had histories of alcoholism, which he knew. He essentially believed I was a liar. I saw him twice. Never again after the laugh.

✨Mama Calathea✨ 🇧🇪 :
As an autistic individual this is why I’m fighting to become a therapist. So many of the things we experience just don’t make sense to those not dealing with it. I’ve been dismissed so much by doctors and therapists when it comes to how autism has affected my life. We deserve to be heard, understood and validated.

Exactly. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired ALL THE FUCKING TIME. Nothing works for me as it does for other people. It's like swimming against the current 24/7 while others float by and wonder why you're exhausted from standing in place.

NT Therapists are useless & do not care. I will never, ever, ever trust one. They ALL made me WORSE & I regret every single minute I wasted dealing with them.

There is nothing more hopeless or exhausting than looking to your oppressor for help with your oppression. The system WANTS us burnt out and exhausted - disabled - because our pattern recognition and strong sense of justice are a danger to the system, itself.

💔 we can be really amazing people, we could change the world with the way our brains work but instead we fight all our lives because people dont understand us and they dont care.

My autism specialist also stopped working with adults. Said something along the lines of children can still be helped. Says a lot I think

I think a lot of non-autistic people who have experienced depression as a result of chronic stress could also relate. “Mood” is a direct result of environment.
