More from Thrasher
Spent most of the night / morning / today dealing with a sensory overload I couldn't take control of, i'm okay, I just let things get to me and it started affecting me fully. Living with mental illness and autism that is highly sensory can shatter my whole world, i'm still learning how to cope with certain meltdowns and malfunctions. I call my overload a 'malfunction' because I get extremely confused and upset, angry and unsure how to take more information into my head. I do try, fuck knows I fucking try. Thankfully sense knocked into my skull this morning when I realised how sore I was from stressing my body out over a little thing. Mentally, Physically and Emotionally i'm a bit of a wreck right now. I know i'll recover, i'm just under pressure.
I try not to let my malfunctions come out so violently and push people away.
Trying to learn how to cope with things as they come can get real hard, yknow?
I was doing so well, weight loss and health improvement...but I neglected my mind...which was the worst thing I could do.
I find it hard to nurture and look after my whole self equally.
I'm okay, i'll recover, might take a few days. I'm being supervised and looked after by my family atm, so i'll be okay. <3

Taking care of yourself outwardly is great, but unfortunately mental health can get side lined even though its so important!
Its not promoted enough publicly to remember to take care of your mind as well as your body :/
Take your time to take care of yourself and take each hour as it comes! :)
slowly but surely you'll find your best (and most importantly HEALTHY) coping mechanisms :) It may be slow going but any progress is progress! celebrate your milestones!
This is coming from someone who suffered really badly with mental health and public overloads (severe public anxiety from noise and crowd claustrophobia) for a few years and i wont preach my methods, but just being patient with yourself and taking baby steps and rewarding your baby steps is the best thing you can try out.
I still panic and cry at loud noises at times, but instead of beating myself up once I've calmed down, i look at how far I've come from crying in the canteen cause there were so many people and noises :)
Never be afraid to talk about it with friends and family- reach out when you need comfort and support :)
Hope you'll feel better soon and i wish you the best :)
