Wondering how others feel

⏲️Executive Functioning / Emotional Regulation

Curious to hear how other autistic people experience depression and anxiety. Specifically anxiety I guess. I don’t know how to describe how I feel to others outside of just saying I feel doomed. It feels like everything shuts down and I can’t wrap my brain around how I’m going to move on and be okay. I’ll start to spiral about one of the things I tend to overthink often and I just cry and cry and I guess it’s almost like a panic attack but not as intense in regard to my breathing. When I talk to people about anxiety this doesn’t seem to be other peoples experience.

Thanks for sharing 💕
