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

  • Welcome to the forum. What you describe isn't alien to a lot of people here, and even when life is going well it can turn and suddenly the world feels wrong again.

    So focus on doing the things you enjoy, being yourself and if you don't want to socialise, don't. If you do, call a friend and do something fun together but do it because you want to, not because you feel others think you should.

    Work can be a trickier one, and it's hard to provide reasonable suggestions as obviously everybody's different. There are resources out there to help people, but they're often local in nature and I do agree that it often doesn't feel that support is available.

    Hopefully just sharing your frustrations and thoughts helps :)
