Sad lately and unsure what to live for

Post Reply New Topic

I don't feel suicidal I just feel really sad I'm not sure what will make me happy. I have no friends and cant see me making any in the future. Each time someone has tried to talk to me I am reminded that I cant hold a conversion or just interact normally for that matter. A fear of mine is one day when my parents are gone and my younger brother moves far away(he is graduating college soon, he is extremely smart wouldn't stay around here) then I will be all alone and what reason will I have to live for then? I cant live to play video games and I cant live to work at whatever manual labor job I end up doing in the future. So then what else do I have? I just don't know what will make me happy. Maybe its foolish to be worried about something that's so far away. I just feel helpless in the path I'm heading down.

Sorry you're feeling this way. I know what it's like to have so much difficulty making and keeping friends. Do you know of any local adult autism groups in your area? It can be a good way to meet people that might be more understanding so you might be able to make friends that way.

I'm in the same boat. If you figure it out, let me know.
