Feeling like giving up

Whats-His-Face

hi all before I start I must apologise as I’ve already posted something similar before. 

Im in a job that’s making me ill(mentally) but feel trapped as I can’t afford not to work and can’t get benefits. 

Last week my wife and I went away for 4 days and I was feeling gd. Within a day of being home my mood drastically dropped and the anxiety and stress of going back to work was overbearing. 

Today is my first day back and it took everything I had to come in.

i got diagnosed over a month ago and thought things would change but they haven’t, I still feel alone and down all the time. I don’t know if I can do it all anymore and really want to give up.

  • Do your employers know that you are autistic? Do they know that you're suffering because of the work?

     I have been in similar situations to you and didn't make any attempt to talk to my bosses. Each time I just walked out. I regret it now. With a bit of friendly communication maybe I could've worked fewer hours or been spared certain stressful duties. 

    All the best.
