How I manage my mental health without medication, as a late diagnosed autistic adult.

This is far from a complete list of things that I do to look after myself, now that I know I'm autistic and am choosing to live medication-free. But it's a start! I am definitely not saying that I have it all figured out! I still have a long way to go before I feel like I'm really emotionally mature. But I'm proud of the progress I've made compared to where I was in my twenties. 00:00 Introduction 01:34 Looking after my brain and body. 13:45 Looking after myself as an autistic being. 20:42 Looking after Anna. 24:20 How I think about my mental health now. 31:04 How I feel the big feelings now. 34:04 My mental health in my twenties/how I felt the big feelings before.

I do drink a tea that contains valerian root though. The concoction of tinctures was made up of 20ml each of St John's Wort, Rehmannia and Vervain, 30ml of Shatavari and 10ml Withania/Ashwagandha. I took 5ml twice daily. I'm not sure what strength the tinctures were though. Another variation on this, that was also great, contained less St John's Wort, and Oats instead of Ashwagandha.
