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.

  • If in doubt, ask a question.

    But, not as I used to do at one time, and ask the same one all the time and promptly forget the reply, because the chatting thing was making me stressed. I did just annoy people.

    Eventually, I tried sitting with people and listening to the ebb and flow of chat, until something came up that I had, say, seen on telly. I would then chip in a comment. I did this with the group of people I worked with for 10 years. It slowly got easier.
