Feeling useless

MrsG

Gosh I feel so useless.  I can't stop crying and keep wondering if my family would be better off without me.  I seem to just be a burden.

  • When I feel like that. I say I’m being a lemon.

    it’s hard to feel like a lemon, sitting around doing nothing.

    it’s worse when you feel you contribute nothing of value, 

    autism can rob you of self confidence, makes it hard to assess our worth with the right perspective.

    if you have a family, then with absolute certainty, to them, you aren’t a burden.
