What was the worst time period of your life?

Post Reply New Topic

Considering autism related issues such as loneliness, being bullied, communication problems, sensory issues etc.

Throughout the year 2009, probably. I'd go into detail but I'd be here all night

The worst had to have been the day I attempted suicide when I used to stay in some flea bag motel on the beach in Far Rockaway, Queens. I mean, I'd hit rock bottom before that and was homeless then living in a drug rehab shelter, but I guess that day was the apotheosis of an unwanted life.

I have peaks and troughs. I'm just coming through quite a difficult time ATM. I went a bit loopy back in March and slept rough for nearly a month. I've came back and started putting myself together again but it's been hard hanging on, I've felt pretty desperate at times (without going into detail).

I can't say that it's been the worst time of my life though because a lot of it has been pretty rough.

I have a firm belief in tomorrow.

I've never felt really lonely.
The period of my life during which I've been "bullied" the most is probably middle school, but it was just teasing, and I am luckily born with the ability to not give a f*** of what other people think of me.
I've had communication problems all my life, but they were worse when I was a kid.
My sensory issues were worse when I was a child.

As the worst period of my life, I am stuck between kindergarten and middle school.
Both for the same reason: those periods were both really boring.

In kindergarten there were children that tried to approach me in an annoying way and also I argued a lot with 3 children from my class.
I had a lot of issues following the teacher's dorections and the teacher would often yell at me for not being able to pay attention.

Middle school was boring because the teachers were boring (exept a few ones) and my classmates were boring.
I underachieved in school at some point during 7th grade because it was all boring to me and I started getting avarage grades again only in 8th grade.
Also people didn't have the gut to say things to my face but laughed at me behind my back (expecially the girls) even if sometimes some of them would have the gut to tell things to my face. But, as I said before, I couldn't care less.
I was teased mostly by girls, that would stare at me, laugh and then say bad things about my behind my back. But they should have lowered their voice. I could perfectly hear everything they said.

I'd say now. High school was great because I never paid any attention to it.

Worst in general - preschool (I was being sexually abused at the time)

Worst autism-related issues - 10-12 years old

I don't know what will be the worst period of my life yet; I am young. I hope it is high school (now) though, because I don't know what I'll do if things get worse...

Adult life, which is now. Quite recently I've discovered that I'm becoming more autistic with age, and things that were relatively easy for me in the past, now are creating all sorts of new problems.

I think I'm having a mid life crisis.

And I feel like I'm having a quarter life crisis sometimes...

^^Oh well, we can all have one big crisis together then

Socially speaking high school because it completely trampled my self-image.
On a personal level post college when I had the worst depression in my life so far, which was kind of caused by my experiences during high school years.

I'll have to say middle school because I had issues dealing with my autism and stress at the time. It was so bad, that I had to switch classes in 4th and 5th grade. Elementary school comes in a close second, because due to the aforementioned problems, I was isolated from my classmates most of the time.

Middle school was the worst, because my peers were changing in their behaviors and I wasn't socially up to their speed-
plus, I wasn't coping well at all with the bodily changes of adolescence, I was in denial that it was happening.

Well, the really tough AS struggles were in elementary school, but I have also had some super challenging non AS related stuff I am currently having to deal with. I am in high school now.
