@smilies How are you feeling now? Do you still feel like you are drowning? Are you still feeling low energy? I am worried about you. What kind of a diet are you on, are you eating healthy? That can have a lot to do with your energy levels. And sometimes when our energy levels are down we have no interest in things. I know I've been there before! Have you been able to get outside today and go for a walk, even for 5 or 10 minutes and feel the sun shining on your face? Did you call and talk to a friend or family member and just get some positive thoughts going? Please let us know, we care here at Mayo Connect.

I would also suggest eating foods high in serotonin to lift your serotonin levels in your brain and also melatonin so you can sleep .please enquire about adrenal gland and possible running out of adrenaline and loss of epinephrine and eiter producing too much epinephrine and that's flooding your hypocampus and amygdala .this occurs often in autistics and I haveexperienced it quite a lot .I would suggest exercise and doing stuff like acapella singing or acting to or painting to focus outside yourself and that lifts your mood
