Not really a rant. Just despair. I am just a burden to my family, I earn hardly anything, I have weird health problems, I don't get on with people or make useful connections. We are nearly out of money. How are we going to afford to move house next year?
My family would be better off without me. I will try and hang on til January when we put our house on the market, see if that brings any hope of a better life. I don't know what I'll do if we can't move away from here. Probably just walk off into the countryside and disappear.
I understand.
The A.I. .
Practical solutions.
1) In that timeframe perhaps you will be able to make some money in sales.
2) What can you do?
Because I am asked what job I will go for in the next few years.
I will answer for the next few months perhaps.
Change everything quickly.
3) Concentrate and make a list of immediately feasible jobs that cannot change quickly.
4) The list is fundamental for us autistics.
In the meantime, find a job, even a simple one that gives you access to money, even if you don't like it at all.
5) In the meantime he finds a specialization in a healthcare subject for people.
The answer is that you will have to study and get a quick qualification.
In the meantime work: I imagine an extreme debt situation and in any case you were able to work before but you will no longer be able to work in that role.
5)
Try to list job preparation courses that will give you a qualification in 6 months.
And you can find outlets for welfare.
It depends on which city you live in.
Not everything is the same and simple.
*Perhaps look for a suitable place for a period if you are selling your house.
Repaint it because the buyer wants to see cleanliness, a lived-in house, but in perfect order.
Then eliminate everything out of context and order.
I understand your point about being a burden on the family.
React, you're not, you're just messed up.
In the meantime, look for additional jobs, even dog sitters, or apparently unprofitable things.
The answer is also: take a course in therapeutic massage, make-up and beauty for women, nails...
You won't like it, I can tell.
But they do: I know from some friends.
The rest includes 3-year specializations in physiotherapy...psychology...
but you act on the now and on the initial solution.
The others will be outlined with more time.
*Important, I perceive you as depressed from how you write, when an autistic person is depressed they underestimate themselves.
And he doesn't do what he could.
It's called stasis.
You have to think step by step that you will definitely make it.
Only: first aim for immediate things, then increasingly more qualified.
You will only be a burden if you don't react.
And you are intelligent, sociable, and feisty.
Focus on your determination: nothing can stop you.
You have to believe it: move somewhere if that reality is unsuitable for what you decide to do.
(sorry advice, you are combative and you can do it, but it takes time and reacting and you are not to blame)
