    Tired of it all

    Even with exercise and mindfulness I want to collapse. I feel like I’m pushing myself too hard and others are too. Hopefully it’ll get better with time

    Tired of it all

    Mostly working. I’ve worked an average of 50 hours a week in kitchens since age 16, became a manager, walked to work, always worked for bad pay. I’m trying to switch to tattooing while making no money as an apprentice so I have to work a second job… so essentially I’m working two jobs now just...

    Tired of it all

    I want to give up but know I can’t. I’m exhausted from pushing myself so hard and trying to work so hard and live up to NT standards. I don’t have any other option though. I hate this and want it to end

    Dealing with anger

    I have dealt with this issue my whole life and it seems to be getting worse. If I’m able to I turn on music, watch something to make me laugh, play with my cat, or tell myself a joke. Laughing usually stops it, no matter why I end up laughing. If I’m trapped in a situation where I can’t do any...

    I think I’m lonely

    I’m here to vent mainly and hear others’ similar struggles… I’m working on solutions, it just takes a long time. I think I’m lonely. I haven’t been on this site in a couple months. Working so hard for little money exhausted me so I quit and started something else that’s much better. I’m lonely...

    Hoping some people can relate and/or advise..

    Most job interviews are mind games that are not designed to appeal to or be understood by someone who is autistic. I quickly learned you have to fake it until you make it. I learned what NT's look for and expect in interviews at a very young age and since then, I have been hired every time ON...

    Suicidal ideation

    I am not actively suicidal at the moment, however I have experienced an uptick in general suicidal thoughts (without a specific plan) after my formal diagnosis. I think this might be because I assumed I would grow out of my problems, or I thought I'd find some miracle medication to "cure" them...

    What autism resources would you like to see?

    I 100% agree with you. This is my number one desire. I've noticed when searching for resources the majority of resources are for neurotypicals and specifically parents of young autistic children. These resources are needed like any other, however, like you said, those young autistic children...

    Don't know where to start

    I'm going to assume you're in the USA. I am also going to assume you have zero family help, like saved funds from parents or grandparents. College in the USA is dramatically expensive. It shouldn't be this way but it is. All I can recommend is working a lot and saving up, taking out student...

    Pitbull commission

    This is an 18 x 20 oil painting I completed a couple months ago as a commission for a friend of mine. I posted this in my introductory thread when asked about my art but wanted to upload it to a media collection too. I'll be slowly adding my past and current artwork to my media album over time!
