Hello 19 year old with autism and depression here. Im on pills given by a doctor, ive tried therapy, dnd even. I just feel depressed and im not sure why possibly hormones or maybe that fact that i haven’t accomplished anything in my life or even done anything, also im broke to say. Everyone tells me to workout but i dont feel motivated to even do that plus its super hot outside and i cant afford a gym, maybe im making excuses…

I just feel lost on where i should be right now in life and im clueless on what the next steps are.

    For me the big sell was realizing that in my most intensely ruminative depressive bouts, hiking left me needing to focus on my breathing so much that I literally didn’t have the bandwidth to ruminate. All I could make room to focus on was getting oxygen through my body as efficiently as possible while I panted for air.
