Looking For Understanding

VictoriaRose

Hello I’m new here and I’m looking for some people who understand me here. I’m feeling so tired and fed up with life at the moment. I’m already twenty four nearly so half way through my life already and it’s just feeling so pointless going on now. I’m anxious all the time. I’m depressed. I’m lonely. I have no job and not a very bright future ahead of me. A few years ago I was so hopeful that things would improve and I would get life on track and start being happy and living a bit but it’s not happened and it’s looking like it never will. Looking for some understanding as no one who knows me really knows me or understands all this

  • hello VictoriaRose

    it all makes sense to me.

  • Hey guys I am autistic myself so forgive me for wording this all wrong however I am creating a new autisic site for autisic people, their parents, partner's, carers and friends. The whole idea is there is one big place where everyone feel welcome, accepeted and free to talk to people who are going through, experiencing and dealing with the same things. Please feel free to follow my Facebook page and comment there if you wish here is the link www.facebook.com/.../

  • Hello Victoriarose sorry you feel that way. You’ve done the right thing joining this community, it may help to realise that you aren’t alone and people here may understand. How are you now? x

  • Hello Victoria Rose,

    It's so hard, isn't it. I also have bipolar and use their forums to help with my mood. But I think a part of my depression comes out of the problems I have with having autism. For me, it's about not fitting and feeling that I'm never going to fit in. Never going to succeed in a neurotypical world. 

    It's two days since you posted. How are things going for you now?

  • Hello, VictoriaRose, and welcome to the forum. Feel free to ask any questions and read my profile. I know exactly where you are coming from. I finished my degree in computing five years ago. I tried for five long years to get a full time position, and didn't. In the past few months, I have completed a temporary placement with my local council and I have managed to secure a full-time job with them. I also have low self-esteem (I am big, and people take advantage of it).

    Don't give up, your time will come. What are your academic qualifications? I didn't think anyone would give me a chance, but they did. I managed to prove that I could, and I  was willing to do the job.

  • Hey Victoria Rose! I totally relate - I too have a history of depression, anxiety and extremely low self-esteem. I’m always happy to chat/ listen. My settings allow anyone to send me a private message so if you’d like to talk I’m happy to try and help :) Things night get better - or at least no worse, I’m confident things can turn around for you :)
