what do I feel

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 sometimes mis-identify emotions and make a "half thought out comment" that proves eventually to be wrong. This can lead to misunderstandings.  Real understanding of what I feel can take a long time to discover. If there are several potential causes of my feelings, I have to consider each one and see which is causing the emotional reaction.

    As soon as I feel my mood starts spiralling down, I take time to consider all the potential causes, see which is most likely, then work my way through it.I
