An Aspie without a focus.

Post Reply New Topic

Hi,

Right now I am in a strange position of not having much of a foucs in life. I am engaged to be married and very happy with my soon to be husband. But is seems like I have not found a "calling" or a "niche" or what have you. I have things I enjoy doing but just feel kind of empty as I don't have a focus in my life and am trying to figure out what to do that is meaningful and not just something for entertainment. I miss being a student because being a student gives one a sense of focus in life. But I can't just wish I was a college student again.

How did your find your "focus" or something that made your life meaningful even if it is not either having children or having a career? Life is actually good; I am just feeling kind of restless right now.

Life can be meaningful?

Go for your masters?

I did the things I thought I would never do like work at a food bank. I worked at a small town food bank for a year and I got so many friends from there, they are even going to come visit me when I move in May. Just seeing how bad some people have it makes you feel like all your problems are nothing compared to theirs. I would type all day about volunteering but some people would get mad over it.

Hi AS,
I am looking into some new volunteer opportunities and one place that I thought that I would try and once place that I sent information to about volunteering was 'The Georgia Meth Project.' I was planning on trying to see if I could work as an advocate for people who are taking the drugs.


You might also went to see about going to back to school to get a master's in general studies and enjoy learning because you are very smart.

Focus on what's here and now.

Might want to get a diagnosis to be sure...
