    My life and health fell apart

    I’m sorry you went or are still going through such difficulty. I went through a really tough patch in my life recently, which is how ended up finding out as well, and I’m still pulling out of it, though I’m doing much better now. I hope things get much better for you.

    I’ll just be more resentful that my personal failures are inevitable if doctors agree. Also I feel like I would just get worse, and become more reliant on people and that makes me feel incredibly guilty

    It doesn’t necessarily have to workout that way. I started seeing an autism therapist, and she has been helpful in ways I never expected. We’re currently working on ways to make my days more enjoyable, less stressful, and re-engaging with social life, but the suggestions are things I wouldn’t have thought of. It might be worth seeking specialized care, but of course, your situation could be very different from mine.
