Hi - I used to think like you - I was successful, married, child etc - doing very well etc. My undiagnosed aspie abilities meant I could do things other people couldn't. I hated things that were unclear or unknown so my job in engineering meant I…
You've summed up my experience of the world of employment perfectly there!
The one that drives me most crazy is the assertion that "being in employment is good for your mental health and self-esteem". I don't give a monkey's whether psychologists…
I feel very burned out writing this. I have been online and on the phone for 6 hours trying to source help particularly around employment concerns (I am off work due to stress) and explaining to my parents that I'm not in work for legitimate reasons.…

But that's the whole point - you're made to feel worthless and guilty for not joining the rat race and burning yourself out with a heart attack at 35. The media is pumping out unrealistic life expectations to everyone.
A study I read where teenagers…
Hi Raspberries, so I can kind of relate…i hate being put on hold, I was in a very dark place, burnout, whatever you wanna call it, and I ended up smashing my phone against the floor, which completely destroyed it, and I’m still paying for it until 2025…
