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 am hopeful that In some way I can continue to serve my community in areas of Social Justice. This is what I am very passionate about. I don't know what my strengths are but I am well aware of my many weakness'.

    Have you thought of taking this question to the church that you want to serve? Is there someone there whose opinion you respect that would listen to you and provide some career or vocation advice?

    I think it is important to work out what you are good at. Everyone is good at lots of things, nobody is hopeless at everything. It sounds as though you are being unfair on yourself. What does your husband think you are good at? What do your church friends think you are good at? I appreciate you might find it hard to ask this question but I think that this is worth quite a big effort as you might be more pleasantly surprised than you might imagine.
