  • I feel sad that I don’t have a girlfriend and there appears to be no hope of having romance ever coming into my life.

    Please don't be sad. I went thru a lot of my life never meeting anyone l truly liked.

    Then l was married and it turned abusive. And l am a female. Don't give up, keep trying, l like friendships, that is a good thing.
    My new medicine has caused me to have hypersomnia and I don’t get up until 12:00 because of it.

    Sorry Markness, let your doc know if you are feeling low and maybe he can change dosage? Or write a new script.

    When people bully, l get upset but l know state my feelings and don't back down, not sure if you can start trying this out, just don't become confrontational.

    Hope you feel better today☺
    I keep feeling like I am a loser who is behind everyone else here just like I did on Facebook and other forums. I can’t keep up with anyone.

    I agree. I feel the same. My therapist left. Almost everyone on Facebook are couples which I don't want as friends. Never any single girls.
    My birthday is tomorrow but I don’t have a girlfriend or wife to spend it with.
    Markness
    Markness
    The former. I suppose I am just so depressed that I wish my hopes alone would change things. Even people who are severely depressed somehow manage to establish relationships but they have been denied to me.

    How does repeating the negative statements help you?

    I agree I am in the same boat. My birthday was without an wife or girlfriend just a couple and an single guy we hung out.
    The people at the clinic think I need a different job.
    Markness

    They asked me what I really wanted to do and I couldn’t answer concretely. I don’t have any job skills besides what I know from the library, I don’t have a college degree, I am embarrassingly bad at math, I am also embarrassingly bad at interacting with people socially, and I am considered a loser for my life situation so it makes others feel entitled to bullying me. I really should just be put out of my misery.

    So you're saying that you don't have any ideas for other work, yourself, and the clinic people asked, but didn't suggest any other type of employment.
    Markness

    One suggested I maybe find work with animals but I am daunted by the idea because I would probably get mauled by a large dog in either a shelter or veterinary setting since I am weak for a man. My body can’t build muscles and I don’t have a survival instinct that truly works.
    I don’t feel up to attending group therapy today.

    Isn't that what therapy is about? Learning to work through the pain, not trying to avoid it......
    Markness

    It is but something is just so wrong with my brain that it resists treatment. I don’t like it at all. Living with this nightmarish condition I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

    Sounds like something worth talking about, with your therapist.
    I am not looking forward to my birthday this Thursday. :(

    Birthdays are stressful; I always feel better the next day.
    A happy day-after-birthday to you.
    Does the universe not want me to have a relationship and to just suffer until I die?

    How is that a helpful thought loop?

    It doesn’t help. Life, however, has always been harsh on me.
    I was asked if I was married again. I hate always having to answer no. :(

    Was a male, asking, I guess?

    Markness
    It was an older woman. Last month when I was in exile, a man asked me the same question. It hurts no matter who asks. :(
    Just learned I won’t be joined (again) for a hike and the therapy group is shrinking due to some people going inpatient. *sweat drop emoji*

    From physical illness? Or emotional/psychological problems?
    Markness
    Markness
    The latter.
    I feel like I woke up from a nightmare after being away for so long. It’s over but my mind is struggling to find its footing.
    I hope no one forgot me when I was gone. I had an nightmarish last month that nearly destroyed me.
    I already feel death grabbing at my head. It feels like it’s being pulled apart.

    Sounds more like something related to life.
    I feel like it’s time for me to disappear. I am slowly but surely becoming excommunicated from the autism community.

    No one wants you to leave.
    No one wants you to keep spiraling downward under a futile paradigm, either.
    Crossbreed

    (That futile paradigm is that life owes you a girlfriend.)
    Keep seeing your therapist. After you lose some of that baggage, you will start to radiate a healthy level of security.
    (No one is 100% secure.)
    Others tell me I am mentally unstable. Try living with an emotionally and physically abusive family before you judge me.

    You're going to have to come up with a better pick-up line than that.
    How about,
    "You should be grateful that I haven't punched you, yet?"
    [Notice: the preceding was an exercise in hyperbole...]

    What I mean is you are saying,
    "I have an excuse to be contentious, so count on me to be contentious."

    Are you familiar with the phrase,
    "Shooting yourself in the foot?"

    You need to relax. That may not be an aggressive approach, but (on the plus side) it is less repulsive. (And it will take some time to undo the damage that you are currently doing. Or don't)
