Do you ever feel like a loser

You know when things don't go your way and you get/got your hopes up almost as if for no reason. Seems as if it did that because you let it happen or you didn't put your all in and life is teaching you a hard lesson in return.

This is not me bemoaning any luck btw but just asking something I've thought about the last few days.

I wouldn't say "loser" per se, but having to work damned hard for everything I have in my life qualifies then "yes"

No because if whatever it is doesn't go my way, I'll sure as hell find another way to accomplish it in the end x

This is a feeling I battle with frequently. I'm autistic, claim PIP and universal credit, and can only work part time if I don't want to burn out and have a breakdown (again). The frustration at not being able to achieve the very basics without A LOT of support is huge.

Have felt very down at times, but in a very good place at the mo. You just need to get out of bed and get on with it.

Life lesson number one.... If someone is bringing you down, avoid them. Even if they're family.

Life lesson number two. If you hate your job, change jobs.

Life lesson number three, don't make excuses why you cannot do one and two.

Do you think autism is directly relevant in your feelings of low self worth, ie beating yourself up. or is it just part of it

Currently, yes.

I'm a bit fragile at the minute. Lots of self loathing and doubts.

I have a good relationship with the universe right now. I used to blame things, or myself.

I just know life has a vicious dark sense of humour, and I now laugh at it, and with it.

The universe and I are now drinking buddies, soon I will make it my bitch

In another life being autistic could perhaps have been the "superpower" that some people claim it to be. If I hadn't had children, for example, or if I'd been born 30 years later and had a diagnosis and relevant support from a young age. As it is, being autistic in the life that I have limits what I can cope with. Growing up knowing I wasn't 'quite right' and not understanding why has contributed to these feelings of ineptitude (I was diagnosed at 36) and that's hard to shake off. I'm sure there are autistic people who don't feel frustration and sadness when they can't achieve what their peers do so effortlessly, but I suspect they are a minority.
