Getting stuck in your own head and boredom

Hi,

This is my first time on here and I've only recently received an official diagnosis for ASD.

For a few months now I've been over thinking quite a lot on the days when I'm at University, I think it has gotten to the point when I almost get stuck in my head and almost like maybe I'm causing drama for myself. I only started uni part time last September and commute from my parents house. I also work during the week when I don't have uni. My parents, especially my mum, don't enjoy the days when I'm at uni as I always come home in a not so positive mood and the past few weeks gotten worked up over stuff.

Originally, I thought it may be down to not feeling included within social situations with those I have lessons with during the week. However, now I feel like it may be due to boredom. It's a bit odd because I tend to not get overly invested in my uni work during the day then have a go at myself for not paying more attention. yet when I get home I just spend all my time in my room not really doing anything. Even my like special interests don't seem to be as prominent in my life at the moment and on the odd occasion I have a drive to do something, I'm too lazy to do it despite knowing it would bring me some more enjoyment.

I'm not sure if anyone else has felt or been through anything like this. I'm not even sure if I've explained myself well enough. The truth is I don't fully understand the problem to create a solution. My main focus in life is to become a programmer and problem solve with maths, yet I don't seem to be able to apply the same skills to my own life and can end up making the people around me feel worse because of how I react towards them.

  • I had the same vision, at Uni, until final year; when all enthusiasm left.

    That whole feeling of 'Not Good Enough' always manifests in my head. Plus, I'm a daydreamer by nature.
