Hi I’m new here.

Ava

I can’t say or do anything right and I’m exhausted. I need friends but my life’s so severely ruined because of ambiguous communication etc that I can’t handle the distress. I can’t have friends because it’s overwhelming for them and also overwhelming for me to live this life. I spiral for any reason and have done for decades. Depression and anxiety and exhaustion and burnout. Life’s been too much and social stuff is extremely difficult. I can’t reply to posts and try to get things right but I get them all wrong.

  • Hello there Ava,

    I’ve got ASD/ADHD/Anxiety/Depression here. It sounds like you’ve got a lot of anxiety about social interactions, particularly being misconceived or rejected? There are a lot of people on here with similar struggles, so this may be a good place to open up.

    There’s no pressure to reply to posts. I often write responses and quickly delete them because of anxiety, too. There’s also no pressure to be friends with people here, as none of us on here know each other personally, so maybe that can help a little bit?

    But yeah, my advice is to keep giving this forum a good try.
