I'm 29, autistic, and going through a difficult phase in my life. My current job contract is ending in a few days, and I still don't have another job lined up. I was promised a job opportunity at SRM two months ago, but I'm still waiting for a response. I don't know what will happen, and the uncertainty about my employment and financial security is frightening.
What's making this harder is that I have nobody close to support me emotionally. I'm struggling with loneliness, anxiety, and unresolved issues in my personal life. Being autistic adds to the challenges of socialising, building meaningful connections, and dealing with uncertainty.
Chennai is my hometown, but I still feel like a stranger here. I don't feel the sense of belonging or support I desperately need, and sometimes it feels like I'm facing everything alone.
I've tried to stay positive, but with my job ending and my future uncertain, I'm finding it difficult to keep going with the same optimism. I just want some stability, genuine connections, and a reason to feel hopeful about my future.
I needed to vent because I'm genuinely scared and exhausted from carrying all these worries alone.
