Hello!

I struggle with everything. All the stuff that normal people are supposed to do like getting out of the house, keeping myself clean and tidy, picking up after myself etc.

I have long standing MH issues which make this all very difficult, coupled with never learning all this stuff from my parents. I have also finally been diagnosed with ASD (Asperger's). I struggle with routines and have really low self esteem so it feels pointless trying to look after myself.

I really, really want to change this though. I have to.

Please join me? Let's support each other.

I'm just checking in to say hi and hope you're all OK. I'm supposed to be clearing out stuff but keep taking a break!

No motivation and overwhelmed but all my own fault.

I have a man coming round in the morning and I do not ever have anyone come to my home unless it is completely necessary but he is doing a gas safety check and I've already put him off half a dozen times!

How is everyone x

It's a relief to know I'm not alone - though obviously not good to know other people are suffering, too. Every day is a struggle, though to the outside world it probably looks like I'm doing just fine. But just getting out of the door every day is a monumental effort. Just holding the strings of life together. I posted on another thread a couple of days ago about a relationship that's just ended because the guy clearly didn't fully comprehend the depth of my anxiety (despite me laying it all on the line!). I am now pretty certain that a relationship is beyond my ability. Maybe I'll be sad about that one day but right now it's just a relief to know I can be alone and not have to keep rushing around to tidy up, have a shower, etc.
