Hi, I'm looking for some advice on the following:
Most behavioral therapists will recommend to depressive people to create a daily schedule and be as active as possible.
On the other hand, my experience is that being autistic, I take this kind of advice too literally and stress myself out as a result. However, if I do less, I keep beating myself up for not doing more.
Can anyone relate? Any advice on how to find a balance as a depressed autistic?
Thanks in advance!

@marenf @actuallyautistic I don't know that I can advise as such but I can strongly empathise! There have been times when I've been depressed that the things people have said, with neurotypical norms in mind, have been in hindsight the least helpful advice. E.g. attending social events when depressed & autistic - knowing myself better now, I know that if I need rest, I need rest. Not a high masking scenario! Trust yourself (this might take some practice).

So, my office made attendance mandatory once a week, starting today. I've been here for 1,5 hrs and have already cried, bitten a hole into my stress relief chew toy, and stuffed my face with two bags of Haribo. I can't fucking do this, someone get me out of here please 😭 @actuallyautistic

@StrassenKatze @actuallyautistic that massively sucks, I'm so sorry. If you're in the UK, additional working from home can be a reasonable accomodation (but I appreciate that sounds so much simpler than it may be to sort out). 💜

@StrassenKatze @actuallyautistic I really hope you're able to get something sorted that works better for you! 💜💜💜
