    Hi @Creativeboy23 , this all sounds so overwhelming for you. Thank you for sharing.
    Writing your feelings out like this is a brave thing to do. It’s a very isolating when you feel like people don’t understand you.
    It sounds like you have supportive friends who give advice, do you feel comfortable talking to them, or anyone else, when you feel down and have these thoughts?
    Is it common for your Dad and brother to make you feel this way?
    Your emotions are so valid, and you don’t deserve to feel judged for having them❤️

    @Creativeboy23 I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through such a tough time. It sounds like you're dealing with a lot of emotional pain and difficult memories. It's important to acknowledge that your feelings are valid and that you deserve support. You can consider: reach out for support, set boundaries, focus on the present and positive events, and write a journal. Remember that seeking help is a sign of strength, and there are people who care about you and want to support you through difficult times. You can always reach out to a mental health professional or a trusted person in your life if you're struggling to cope. We're here to listen and support too!

    First and foremost @Creativeboy23 - you absolutely deserve to have your feelings feel validated as they are valid. I can hear how your feelings often feel invalidated (the opposite to what you deserve) and how this is often shaped by people's lack of understanding about disability (and autism in particular). As a fellow autistic, I particularly hear you.

    Though, it sounds positive you feel able to reach out to your mum, us and helplines. After all, you don't have to face anything alone if you don't want to. Please let us know if there's anything we can do to help but, otherwise, we are all here for you and listening to you :)

    I would say I am generally around more supportive people now @Creativeboy23 (very fortunately!). However, it can affect how and when I feel able to slip into a 'meltdown' (and cope). It can also affect how I reach out for help and which types of help I reach out for. Hopefully, you can also be around more understanding people soon <3

    Hello @Creativeboy23 ,

    I'm sorry you've been feeling down and that you went through things that brought back negative emotions. I hope you know you can always use this forum to communicate with people and share your experiences and feelings.

    I also want to say that one one thing I noticed is the fact that you're taking the time to analyse your feelings and how things affect you - i know that trying to make sense of one's own feelings is no easy feat, so it's great that you're talking about them openly.

    Oh @Creativeboy23 :/ You deserve to be treated so much better than this! Like with support and understanding. How do you feel catching up with the support worker went for you, other than your friend's comments about this? Things haven't been too bad here thank you, up and down like usual but I have had some wonderful support - even if I did need to fight for it :p
