Hi everyone,I really don't want to get too political on here, which is why I'm keeping this brief and this is entirely all my own opinion, but I know that a lot of others might share this same anxiety?I'm really nervous about the results for the upcoming federal election on may 3rd. I know that I don't have much control over it (really other than going out and voting) but it just makes me so anxious. I think the anxiety stems from seeing what's gone on over in the USA, and how I personally don't want Australia to follow in their footsteps (which is looking very likely if certain parties succeed over others).I've become more and more anxious about politics as I've gotten older, and now that I'm 21 it's at an all time high. I generally just try not to think about it and distract myself, or tell myself that in the end I can't control everything.Yeah, I'll just leave it there for now. Thank you🙂

The United Nation's World Autism Awareness Day falls on April 2nd each year. It serves to encourage awareness, understanding, and advocacy for autistic individuals.Many people prefer to celebrate the day as World Autism Acceptance Day or World Autism Understanding Dayas the day is about more than promoting awareness. It's also completely valid to not celebrate the day and instead focus on the ongoing meaningful acceptance and support of Autistic individuals. Or if you're autistic yourself, it's important to do what works for you during this time, to take care of yourself, and to seek support if you need it.It's important to recognise that being an Autistic Ally isn't just about having an awareness of Autism, but also striving for genuine understanding of the diverse experience of autistic people and learning how to help support them. It can be helpful to remember that a big part of allyship involves listening to and amplifying the voices of the community you are supporting.More services and resources to check out:AmazeAspectReframing AutismReachOut's collection on AutismOver to you!If you're autistic, we would love to hear any thoughts or reflections you might have about today, or even about what support you do find helpful. We hope this community is a safe space for you to express yourself and find support and connection

Hey.I haven't done anything of this sort before. Never really talked to anyone. Something just doesn't feel right. Everyone I'm around seems to know what makes them happy, but when I'm asked the same question, I don't have an answer. Every action and decision, or entertainment feels like a way to pass the time rather than a way to get satisfaction. Small pressures build up, and over a couple years I've just kept going. But today, I just started crying in my room. I don't know exactly why, but I have a couple ideas. I just don't really know what to do anymore, so I though maybe getting some other opinions would be good, since I don't really feel safe discussing this with any of my friends or family.

I used to be a bright student back at my school. Passed out my school, entered in university and my brightness started dimming. After passing out from college, my brightness was gone. I had nothing in my head, no future plans, no strategies, no friends nothing. Now I'm turning 25 next month and my parents still yelling at me.Sometimes I feel I'm still a child, have to listen to parents while my friends have started out their lives independently. Why am I unable to decide what to do in my life?The thing is: I want to be self-dependent, skilled enough that I don't need future counsellors, careercounsellors or stuffs like these.
