As an Asperger sufferer I do get the feeling of being overwhelmed. I can be overwhelmed by the littlest thing but what that little thing is day by day is usually the same, sometimes different.
Feeling overwhelmed is not felt by everyone who is neurodivergent and neurotypical. The feeling is the same but can be triggered by different things.
You could wake and find the home is absolute pigsty and having to clean and tidy it up as well as lad the washing machine and the dishwasher to then unload it all afterwards with no help. It can be a mammoth task especially when you have a big family , what if you have family staying then it’s even worse.
Some people wake up in the morning and it all feels too much. Just life can feel too much.
When I feel overwhelmed I love the comfort of my home. The familiar surroundings with all my belongings around me. Being at home can help me but, it sometimes can make me worse as then the thought of leaving it makes me panic and very anxious.
Everyone has different comforts to helping feel better when overwhelmed some may share the same, the main is absolutely everyone feels overwhelmed and it’s a perfectly normal feeling to have. When people feel like this it can be the trigger to negative mental health (not always but for some). When people feel this way it’s healthy to say so and support should be given by whoever is present and help and solutions should be given by the people who are there at the time to alleviate the feeling as much as possible. If no help or support is given the person who is feeling overwhelmed then only feels worse and speaking from personal experience, feel isolated, alone, overworked and anxious about the outside world which then makes me want to coil up at home.
The rising cost of living I believe is a subject in which many people feel overwhelmed by. The hundred and one questions people ask, some are the same and some are different. The cost of living I believe is a topic that absolutely everyone finds extremely overwhelming and is a topic in which everyone can find common ground with each other and share the worries and anxiety’s about.
