I'm lost and unfulfilled

[jembella-]

I tried to work and my first proper job was a lifestyle assistant in a nursing home with all degrees of brain injuries. I wasn't supported at all and really struggled with the work. Quit last month after 5 months. Embarrassed I'm 31 and that's my main employment I've had.

Feeling like a failure like I'm supposed to get on with things now and I still struggle. I hate being autistic and dyspraxic. Just parts of me that make things tougher than they should be.

Growing up to responsibility is rough. Losing my stepdad 4 years ago has wrecked me too. Wish I was stronger than I am.

Keep trying different jobs and you never know what suits you until you actually try it. I did voluntary work and that helped alot before working. There is support group myautismteam.com and has other people with autism or children that have autism. But you will find it helpful and then you can get some advise about anything really. Join and see how you feel but give time to build a support group.

Thanks for the reply

or another idea try Oplex courses to see what courses /introduction to jobs would suit you

Sorry about your stepdad, you must have had a good relationship with him. . I feel like I have some degree of autism; I just don;t think and behave like everyone. What's dyspraxic? I know lots of people with depression or anxiety that don't have as much work history as you do. I;m sure you're trying your best in this difficult world....

Thanks for your kindness. Not everyone understands I guess. I miss my stepdad a lot. Probably best to Google Dyspraxia up

OK, I'll do that
