I rcould really use someone to talk to right now

Post Reply New Topic

I'm feeling really depressed and alone right now. I feel so confused and sad. and I have no one to talk to. I could really use a friend.

Anything in particular making you feel that way or is just life in general?

hey

I don't have a lot of control over my life, and it makes me very sad. I cannot drive(and probably won't be able to learn because of my anxiety) and I don't have a job. I don't have much control over anything in my life and it's driving me crazy.

I have no job either & I'll never be able to drive cuz of major nearsightedness & I also feel I have little control over things rite now. If you or anyone else wants/needs to talk; feel free to PM me

I failed thrice my driver's exam, took about 90 hours of driving lessons since I'm extremely small (still have to sit on a pillow when driving ), can barely reach the clutch, and had driving anxiety, but I passed the forth time! it just take persistence and stubbornness not to allow external (and internal) circumstances govern your life - building higher inner locus of control is crucial. Take care. :hugs:

I failed my driving test many times because of my anxiety. But I kept at it until doing the test was nothing special and then I passed. Don't ever give up trying if it's something you really want.

HEY, Shades, c'mon, don't let the whole 'Aspy Thing' get you down!
And DON'T EVER think having "Control Over Your Life" is how you judge yourself!
I'm however old now...? It's on the left there, but I can't see now, seeing as how I'm writing a reply to you... anyway that's not important.
I'm the age it say's over there on the left which I'll remember if I remember to view this post after I submit it, which I probably won't ...
*sigh*

Anyway, I'm the age i am now and i have a drivers license and a job
and I Still live with my Mum and she drives me crazy every day,
and berates me and belittles me every day
because she really doesn't understand what being an aspy means,
but
I,
and everyone here,
understands

so,
even though it's over six hours since you said
"I could really use someone to talk to right now
I'm feeling really depressed and alone right now. I feel so confused and sad. and I have no one to talk to. I could really use a friend."

Remember, you have a mountain of friends, here and there.
Some of them are here on WrongPlanet,
as late as late can be.

Also Remember This above All !
You Are Young!
You are fragile and sensitive and have unexplored potential!

Just like me
and every one else on WP

My aunt failed her driving tests past 20 times. My family lost count. I can't drive because of my depth perception, blindness in one eye, anxiety, and whatnot. I've been stuck in the house for a very long time, because it's hard for me to go outside amongst other people, and because it's really hot here.

I'm sorry depression has taken a hold of you. I really hate this dreadful thing. But don't feel alone, this alternate planet here is a place where many people share the same problems!

Dunno what else I could say that would be comforting, but I guess that's what I intend. Hope things get better for ya.

I could use some more friends myself.

I think we all could use some more friends. I know I could.

Look on the sunny side, of life.

listen Em I'm in the same boat as you Don't let the sad face I put there fool you, though, I've learned to take it all in stride. You can't drive? The worst thing I could think of is that someone you'd date would reject you for not taking them out in the way THEY wanted to be taken out, but you don't have to worry 'bout that since you already have a bf who likes you for you Although I don't have a gf right now, I'll be taking Para-Transit starting in November and it sounds like all kinds of awesome I know you don't have that advantage yet, but it doesn't mean you won't - have hope!! You don't have a job? LOTS of people don't in this day and age!! Heck, my MOM found it hard to get a job ever since last year! Being able to work from home has been a blessing for her My friend John, one of the most "normal" Aspies I've ever known, can't seem to find one either! I don't have one but that's 'cuz I have two more years left of junior college, lol. My advice overall? Just think of everything that's gone well in your life so far and focus on that

Hope things are going alright now in your world!

I know what you're going through shades.

I'm trying to get my drivers license as well.

The real salt in the wounds in my case is that my younger brother already has his and it makes me feel like I'm failing to meet with expectations on what I should have already accomplished by the time I reached my age.

I still get very nervous when I get behind the wheel in order to practice especially after my mother or whoever is riding with my scolds me on a mistake I make and I tend to stiff up and get really rigid.

I listened to the book Eight Steps to Happiness just over a year ago and it's like it made my depression evaporate. Granted, it's a Buddhist book and you may not be Buddhist, but maybe there's some other source that would appeal to you that might help you. I hope you feel better soon.
