How did you make your peace with this life?

Being separate, other, misunderstood, invisible. How can you bear it?

  • It is rough.  I finally worked out that I am autistic (confirmed my suspicions) a year ago.  I has led me down a path of self-discovery .... and what I have discovered is not good.  C-PTSD and alexithymia from a childhood of emotional neglect and abuse.  I am unable to feel happy (never have - i thought that was normal). 
    I am doing therapy, but f is it rough.
    I hope you are finding ways to try and improve things for yourself.
