Introduction/Trying to figure out what to do

Hello everyone I'm Jack,

My first time being on here and I hope I can meet some nice friendly people here. I'm 26, Autistic and Single (Booooooo), Don't really socialize very well but trying to be more active but I am currently going through ALOT in my life.

First and foremost - My poor mother is terminally ill and I don't know how I'll be able to cope when she passes, more hard times are coming my way.

Second - Middle of October last year I had my heart broken, This girl I had been friends with for like 4 years just went for another guy literally out of nowhere and we had promised one another that we'd become a couple in the future (she was married for a few years in that time), I treated her like she was the only girl I could ever look at and she just tossed me aside..... I'm not completely over it as I will be (at this point as I type this) going to see a therapist next week to help me get my mind back on track. This happened before my mother was diagnosed and when she did get it, for a little while I contemplated suicide.... I didn't hurt myself or anything but I considered ending my life for a few weeks.

And Finally - I can't seem to find a job I'll be comfortable with. I don't really like people and I don't drive (not right now anyway) so getting to a job and dealing with people at said job and even doing the job....terrifies me.

But I really really really want to start earning for myself, have my own place and be independent, I'm just so sick of how my life has turned out right now and I need something to help me kick start a future for myself.

Any thoughts and advice are greatly appreciated :)

    Regarding trying to find work, I've never really known what I've wanted to do. I've had idea's but never anything concrete, I do however would like to drive a forklift as I not long did a forklift truck course and received my license last month so that would be awesome, but it's a matter of self confidence and find the motivation to actually work because staying in one place that I'm unfamiliar with and not knowing what exactly to do in a workplace make me feel scared and anxious as I'd like to do a job right and well but not be a pain in the bum to others around me and not get fired.... Real Life sucks!

    But yeah thanks for your replies everyone, all good advice and help and I will look into them so thank you.
