Feeling stuck

faespirit

I feel like I’m not ever going to get anywhere in life. As much as I try to change my life around such as getting a job or getting a puppy, I can’t cope anymore and end up severely depressed. I think I will just feel stuck in place forever, with nothing ever changing and always being dependant on my parents and partner. I want to be able to do things on my own but I can’t, I just get so overwhelmed, stressed, anxious and depressed from the smallest things. I feel like a complete failure and a burden. I’m just wasting my life away indoors struggling to get out of bed and do the simplest tasks. My head won’t stop racing all the time and it makes me constantly stressed feeling like my head will explode.

  • To a certain extent, dependency on your family is healthy. Everyone needs support and for us Autistics that might mean we need a little more support than others. Ex. I don’t need support when I make my normal commute everyday, but boy do I need some hand holding if I go anywhere I’m unfamiliar with. I can cook extremely basic things, but anything with more than a few steps I have to rely on my wife to cook. That’s okay. There’s also some things that my parents and wife rely on me for support. Again, some support can be a healthy thing in a relationship.
