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.

    Outraged,

    Mostly I agree with you about taking a fighting stand and I think you show what can be achieved by someone despite incredible difficulties.

    I can't speak for the OP on this thread so I may have misunderstood. However it seems that her college has decided that she does not have the right stuff to become a senior religious minister. There are some roles that we are suited for and some roles that will just cause us grief and stress. Is it fair, to her, that she should be encouraged to do a role that she will find impossibly challenging and stressful or is it better to change direction and look for something that can be more satisfying and successful? Sometimes it is better to face up to something by deciding that it is beyond us rather than persisting with a cause that will bring no satisfaction.

    Equally it is important to fight for what makes sense and for what can be achieved as this makes for a better more fulfilled life.
