Feeling Disheartened

My feelings of isolation have been much more evident over the last few months. I need to find an actual friend. I know plenty of people but nobody I'd feeling comfortable enough with to actually be open with.

I'm not particularly socially adept and I find forcing it extremely tiring. I'm trying to find a group or organisation in the attempt that I may find someone.

My diagnosis is fairly new to me and I'm still trying to get my head around it.

Good luck and take care.

Hi Hergé, thank you for your reply.   I hope you find something local to you that helps.

I'm thinking that perhaps I ought to see a therapist to get to the bottom of this.

I see a psychologist a couple of times a month and it's been really helpful. Sometimes we all need a little help or a bit of a nudge in the right direction.

Talking therapies are available on the NHS but tend to be for a limited period, mine is through my wifes' health insurance.

That does sound helpful.   It sounds good that you've got that support.  I think I'd like a therapist who is autistic.
