    Sorry you’re feeling so bad, but I’m glad you are able to engage here, although I don’t have anything practical of offer that might help.

    It’s still early days after you leaving your job, so don’t give up hope, things can improve.

    I don't know. You explain the problem to them and see if you could jointly come up with a solution. If they're willing to give you an appointment for this, that would be a sign they might take you back. At least, discussing the issue[s] with them might also clarify for you what you want.

    Then is it worth going back? Or could you get help to overcome it ? I wonder if it might be worthwhile asking for an interview with the head of HR?

    You could ask to go back - I did that once, successfully. BUT - ask yourself first why you left. Was it spur of the moment or something you would face again, if you went back?

    Last week I had a several times were I just couldn't do pretty basic stuff to connect with people.

    I've felt like this for weeks, but actually found it far less stressful. I connect on here, with checkout operaters and library assistants. Don't feel bad - it's better than other people's way of tackling it; by being nasty to others.

    I'm sorry it's really hard sometimes isn't it. 

    Last week I had a several times were I just couldn't do pretty basic stuff to connect with people. It can make you feel rubbish as you know other people could just manage it fine.

    Sorry you're feeling so low with it.

    Oh, no.  That was harsh for anyone to experience.

    Do you think there might be a way to, maybe, stay connected to anyone you knew at work?

    If it wasn't for my autism I would still have my job

    I miss it, I miss the people. I never got a proper goodbye with them because it was immediate resignation
