Not sure what to do.

C

I feel really lost at the moment. I’m 29 next February and my life isn’t where I thought it would be. My brothers and sisters have all moved out and have jobs and their own families. These are all things I intended to happen for me but my life isn’t anything like that.
Thanks to the autism and anxiety I have no friends and I don’t work either and due to mental health problems in 2020 my sight is now poor and I’m physically disabled making things a lot harder than they were.

Every day is the same more less. I stay inside. I hardly see anybody and I spend my time doing the things I enjoy like writing, listening to music, watching stuff and playing with dolls...

I enjoy myself, I’m happy, but I feel like I’m just existing, not living. I’m not depressed. I left those times behind me in 2020 but I do feel lost and not sure on where to go from here.

Next month I’ll be donating Christmas presents to the children’s hospital nearby me. It’s become a bit of a tradition, something I enjoy and it’s something I always do since 2022. So I have that to look forward to. But after that into the New Year I’m not sure what to do other than my usual hobbies.

What do you do?

Do you work?

Study?

Just curious to know. Blush

  • Dear C,

    Welcome to the online community! You have already had some great responses from other members, I hope this helps you feel welcome. I am sorry to hear that you are feeling lost, but I can see other community members have shared their hobbies and interests, maybe some of then could be worth having a go at?

    It is a wonderful thing to give presents to the local children hospital at Christmas time. You should feel really proud of yourself for doing such a lovely thing. There is a charity who do something similar throughout the year called  Post Pals - they have several options of how to help out. You can send letters or emails to children who have serious illnesses or you can send little gifts. You can become a regular sender which is where you are matched with a child or sibling or you can just do it when you feel like it. 

    I hope our online community is helping you with this.

    Warmest wishes,
