This is a piece I wrote about the feeling of entering a bad episode of mental health. As somebody on the autistic spectrum I can sometimes sense when I am going to sink into an episode of Anxiety so I thought I would put some of my thoughts to paper.
You can feel what its about to happen.
The all too familier feeling of sleeping slowly.
The world becomes louder.
Sleep becomes a labour.
Breathing becomes a skill to learn.
So you sit, not defeated, merely ready.
Waiting for the tide to come in.
If you feel yourself going into a mental healh crisis, you are not alone. Here are some numbers that might help if you’re in the UK:
The Samaritans – 116123
Sos silence of suicide – 0300 1020 505
