Feeling Disheartened

Crystal 3 months ago

I wasn't sure whether to post, but does anyone else struggle with finding genuine friends? Lately i seem to spend a lot of time listening to friends issues, but I feel it's not reciprocated as much. I won't say more as it's too depressing to dwell on.

I'm not sure how much this is to do with autism, as I was only recently diagnosed.

Hi Crystal,

I was only diagnosed a few days ago but I struggle with making genuine friends too. I’m always happy to listen and offer support if I can. Should you want to talk, please feel free to drop me a message. I hope you’ll be okay!

Hi LJ51125,

Thank you, that's really kind of you. I hope we can encourage each other. I'm definitely going to try therapy of some kind too if i can.

I think that’s a really positive thing and a good first step. I have a lot to learn about what autism means to me and who I am as a person. Therapy is said to be helpful for developing coping mechanisms but I think that’s it’s possibly also becoming self aware when feeling overwhelmed
