29 male struggling

NAS73881

29 male i Got diagnosed in 2006. I struggle mainly with socialising, anxiety depression, confidence. I say struggle with socialisin but i can quote happily have a conversation if i really have to i just prefer not to. I feel i dont like people but i cam tolerate them and i domt want to be around them. I spend most my time alone at home unless trying to cope in work , i havent really got friends no confedemce to put myself out there to get a girlfriend , no hobbies im pretty simple. I feel like i dont even know who i am. im always in my head, it seems to constantly racing with thoughts I struggle with work keeping a job. I struggle daily. Its draining and i just feel like more should b dome for people with autism diagnosis. More help. I dont know what my point is here does any one feel like this? Can anyone relate

  • I'm sorry to hear this! My son is in his mid-20s and has similar struggles. As a mum, it seems young men really need to spend time finding their strengths and purpose in life. Sometime this is simple enough to start by forcing yourself to wake up and exercise 6 days a week. For my son, he notices a massive shift in his well-being from 2 things: Skateboarding with others and taking a daily multi-vitamin (no joke!). Working an exhausting job has helped some days - sometimes we just need a relief from ruminating - LOL.

    Once the pandemic is lifted, can you find a collective you might be interested in? Chess, philosophy, bird watching, foraging, a group who helps clean a park once a week? Community is important for everyone. Even if everyone is doing their own thing while in a group. Nothing you need to commit to. Might be prudent to find something you enjoy :)
