what do I feel

Tlc

I had trouble in my training/college programme over the last 2 years because of communication/social difficulties and I was diagnosed a few months ago with Asperers Syndrome and I informed the college. I just started back for my final year and after a meeting last week I have been dismissed from the training programme. I have been working towards this for many years and my chosen career path has now been taken away.

When they told me it was over I didn't know how to react. I just sat there emotionless. This was about 5 days ago. Since then I have not known what to do and I don't know how to express what I feel because I don't know what I am feeling.

I haven't cried, I haven't shouted... just nothing. As if I am empty.

I am not depressed but I am very confused.

This must sound very odd. Has anyone experienced anything similar? Any advice about how to overcome this?

Thanks

T.

    This sounds like a massive shock to you. You will be feeling fairly shocked and traumatised. Who have you got that you can talk to about it? (Parents? Family? Friends?)

    What reasons did they give for dismissing you?

    What was the course? Was it a realistic thing for someone to do with ASD? Are you actually relieved at the decision and the fact that you won't have the stress of carrying on in difficult circumstances?

    The emptiness could be depression or you could be "in shock", why do you say that you are not depressed?
