Does anyone else feel that they will never succeed

NAS78666

Hi

I'm having a problem right now where my mind keeps telling me that I won't make it and that I will never succeed in life, does anyone else have this? I've been trying to get my life back on track sense I had to leave work in October due to mental health issues and I just feel hopeless and helpless. I feel like no matter what I do I'll always be at the bottom, I've never achieved anything in my life no matter how hard I tried and feel like I was just born a loser.

  • It’s fear, not reality 

    I think Autism causes the conviction  that what one is frightened of must be true.  

    Irrationality which seems anti-literal: 

    no sensory evidence required

    fear = sufficient proof 

    this is part of the ‘disordered’ aspect of Autism, treating fear as if it is all-knowing
