Venting on how working is hard

I have found the last 10 years quite tough. If I had to point just to one thing, I most commonly felt -and feel- alienated (or estranged).

There is like an oscillation: trying, failing, trying, failing...

I am exhausted, I feel an alien that doesn't quite know why it can't be fully like the others. I fear I will never be able to work, and this in turn makes me feel lazy or unworthy of love.

I have tried to cope, but this has left me quite disabled -or so I feel. And even with reasonable work experience and degrees, I feel just drained.

I was told this was autisc burnout, but sometimes I doubt it will go away. It feels like stuck with me.

I wonder how this maps to your case, or anything that comes to your mind.

If you feel so too, I share my love to you.

    I see what you are going through and it sounds really tough.

    This is something I've asked my therapist about.

    Am I always going to feel this way because of my autism?

    My therapist gave me hope by telling me that my sadness and depression may be because of unmet needs, once these are seen and supported often things can improve.

    It's given me hope.

    I hope it helps you too.Hugging
