Changing my life

Deleted User

After another row with family earlier today, I realise I wasn't always grateful of their efforts, and the mentality I adopted was only upsetting and angering people.  So I decided to set aside my autistic identity and just be normal, commit to socially acceptable behaviour, go out more, be around people more and later get a menial job and start over from the bottom.  Even work on being nicer to people and earning their respect, trust and god willing their love.

And giving self help another try along with CBD to manage the pain.

  • It's a good thing that you want to straighten your social abilities, and start working and socialising but you have to keep in mind that masking causes exhaustion and sometimes meltdowns and shutdowns. So, try to make sure you dedicate some time everyday when you can be yourself and unwind. I'm sorry you feel that you aren't normal. Maybe a therapist could help you accept yourself and find a way to be you and also do all those things you want to do.
