It don't make sense anymore.

West777

Hello there.

I am starting to believe that nothing makes sense as it used to (the world, me and everything in it.) I wonder if this is due to my autism.

I still feel at my age I am looking for a place of belonging and happiness.

I thought I was on a roll at higher education and it gave me sense of identity and belonging but it was only temporary and lasted a short while.

As I finished the course and the reality of living alone sinked in I noticed cultural, social differences it was a culture shock to me.

Fast forward 2-3 years up to now and I have lost touch with reality and living under a rock.

I am at risk of hitting my lowest point?

Nothing makes sense in terms of what I want to do in life and why I am here (alive.)

I believe my autism has impacted that I view this world way differently than other people. I.e how I interact with others.

What can I do regain touch with reality again.

  • I get what you mean. Sometimes the support of a structured community and specific goals make life make sense when it otherwise would not. I don’t have any answers for you except to find something you care about, find a community or activity you can get involved in or even set one small goal at a time, make one small connection at a time until you form a network. Otherwise, please reach out for help. You matter and are worthy of help, no matter how you feel. We’re here to support you.
