Although you inhabit a tough place, I don't have a ready answer for you, yet I wanted to at least share 3 things with you: 1) I am: decades older than you and I am still here,

2) for me: even when devoid of motivation for things I might at other times have enjoyed, I can find time spent outdoors is how I best recuperate (when a pause from people and their frustrating nonsense is required). The natural World can, for me, sometimes help me to gain a fresh perspective on things, and

3) to me: coming to better understand my Autism presentation (and what works for me) appears to be an iterative discovery process (rather than a diagnosis destination).

My Son does Art now & again, all things Music & Walks his Dog. He hasn't a girlfriend & no friends contact, he has to contact, nothing really happens with them as they have children etc. There are always positives to negatives, we just need to look for them. It's a Mindset thing, Feeling something is wrong or not right, Doesn't always mean It Is, look into Natyre, it heals our Soul, pleasure in Animals & the Seaside refreshes, blows out the old cobwebs. Remember Quality of Friendship over Quantity.

The first thing I can say is you are definitely made for this world. I have found that the hardest part of the process is finding the right help for you.

I only found out 3 years ago that I have a autism and ocd. I find that really difficult to deal with because most mental health nurses, psychiatrists etc don't know what to do to help me.

It's an exhausting journey dealing with it all and I feel alone and physically and mentally burnt out.

I just keep reminding myself of the simple things that I am lucky to have in life. For me that's family. I set myself very small tasks when I'm at my worst that I feel I can achieve. For example housework like washing dishes etc. Going to my appointments, which is very difficult for me. Try to find the positives in the small things and you will get there.

Give yourself time and rest.

Hope this helps you.
