Nowadays that's what I am. Aspergers is a life long thing so that exhausts me. After years of hassle, I feel tired. Yet i couldnt fit in any group or get my life in order. Looking at my peers, they are having fun, laughing, enjoying life.

Why did i get drained so quickly?
I had goals, still have them, but dont have energy to move forward. Cant refresh myself.

Do you have any suggestions? I need to get my joy of life before it's too late.

If you have a special interest and if you can go back to it safely, just do so. It might at least bring you in some state of "flow". Sometimes it's enough to make all the rest a bit less unbearable.

You are only 25, according to your profile. If that age is true, then you are still very young and have much time "before it's too late."

Don't be afraid to take a life break, if you are free from major responsibilities such as children. Take it easy and recover your energy, which can take a long time.
