Hello all,
I've been feeling increasingly crappy recently, and had to unload it all somewhere.
I recently moved to Greece, in an effort to jump-start my life and get out of the rut I was stuck in in England. Since moving here though, I've managed to get back into my rut disturbingly quickly...I just managed to go an entire week without seeing anyone I know, or speaking to anyone for more than a few minutes. It doesn't help that Greece is a hyper-social country which appears to place very little value on aspie virtues.
I don't want to spend the rest of my life being lonely and alone, but I can't really see it working out any other way. In theory I want a social-life, but in reality, I just don't like doing any of the stuff it would involve. Likewise, I badly need some intimacy, but I just can't see how I'd cope with the strain of having to act normal with a girlfriend.
So I fill my time with programming and videogames and tv and movies, and manage to keep myself busy enough that these thoughts don't surface too often. But when I do stop and think about it, I feel horrible. Not tearing-my-hair-out horrible, just overwhelmingly sad and resigned.
Someone please tell me this isn't going to be the rest of my life.
i probably can't help much, but i have one or two ideas
1} contact a relative in some way, make sure you talk to them enough. they know you best, they can cheer you up.
2} if you are still feeling down, see if you can visit them for a few days. there is nothing better than spending time with your family
i hope one of these work! good luck!
