Feeling lost in a world I don’t belong.

Sorry for this post. This is my first on here, my names Dominic , but I like to be called dom. I am a 34 yo m, diagnosed by clinical partners over year ago with asd and adhd (innatentive) worked a chef always, have multiple physical health conditions as a result of long term neglect of my personal care , reached breaking point earlier in feb and march with  2 x OD S attempts, spaced a month apart approx, had to quit my job , only my mum who is supporting me financially (it’s *** as she’s on pip)  never lived independently, so situation is now basically unliveable really , I did a pip assessment by phone on Friday and waiting to find out this and uc, I still need to send of a wca50 for the job centre , and hoping if I get awarded any uc I might be eligible for temporary supported living , this is the only hope, I just feel so scared that there’s no space for me in this world , I [edited by mod] hate people so much sometimes, just feeling let down by people who should help all the time

  • Hey Dom, sounds like you are really having a rough time, and have for a long while. 

    A lot of people have to live with their parents these days, it seems to be increasingly common as housing can be so unaffordable, I hope you get the help you are trying to access. Im there have been some posts talking about this kind of thing, so feel free to talk about even stuff like that here, it's good to have other people to talk to here who understand. 

    A chef must have been a really tough job with lots of stress, I seen understand why that might have reached crisis point, but it's good you are here, even if it's still hard. You've as much right too be here at anyone else, it's just a lot harder for some to find that space. 

    I hope you can chat with us more about it all, sometimes having even a small bit of connection to others can make all the difference! 

    Best of luck Dom!
