Is it common to regress with your mental health the older you get? Or is there something else going on with my brain? A year and a half ago I was working 20 hours a week sometimes more and I was talking with people my own age and kinda being friends with them and I was able to communicate just fine with my managers and coworkers. Now I am not working and my anxiety is bad and my communication skills are worse and I need a pacifier at times for sensory relief. I am autistic and bipolar by the way

I’m just wondering if it’s normal for this to happen the older you get.
