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.

  • I can relate.  There is some things I don't really react to when people expect me to, and then they don't know how to react because I haven't reacted!  Sometimes if there is a lot of feelings I don't make sense of I tend to go quite and emotionless for a while, until I can figure out what's going on.  But then people keep asking me what's wrong, and I'm, like, I don't know.  Then they get frustrated because I say I don't know, but I don't know!

    They probably could be more supportive to be honest.  I know when I did a course through the Open University and they were told about my issues they did everything they could to help from tutors only contacting me through email instead of the phone (it's easier for me) and offering to do my exam in my home instead of the exam centre.  They really cared that I got through the course with plenty of support.
