How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

Got really frustrated because I couldn't make this origami thing I wanted to make. Concerned that I no longer have a reliable source about COVID numbers and I feel frustrated that I have no idea when things will be okay again. Trying to stay focused and finish a book. Didn't feel well the last few days but staying in today when I feel better may not have been the best choice
 
Predictably, I sabotaged myself by enjoying yesterday and paid for it today with an unconscionably busy day at work.
To paraphrase Coleridge: "Retards, retards, everywhere, nor any thought to think..."
On the bright side, I'm not @BoxerShorts47 ; massive plus, right there.
 
Is it possible to develop Asperger's later in life?

No.

It is, however, possible to have always had ASD, have it go undetected and only become aware of it as a possibility in adulthood, particularly it seems (although by no means exclusively) in girls. Additionally, there are other conditions that can develop later in life that can be mistaken for symptoms of ASD, too.
 
Even though one of the bigger causes of stress to me has been taken care of, I think I’ve developed a new anxiety symptom lately. It’s really hard to describe but I think it would be what people call derealization? Like I begin to “lose focus” and feel like my mind is starting to slip away. Enough that my brain starts to panic and I try to hyperfixate on things in front of me to get a grip on things. I’ve never blacked out before but a small irrational part of me worries I will if I don’t focus harder. I doubt it though.

Hopefully it is just an anxiety thing like google tells me and not something else. I can deal with it if it’s just my mind being over dramatic.
 
A friend of the world is the enemy of God.
The more I know about people and this world the more I want it to burn like in the book of Revelation.
Other than that I had hot dogs with bacon crumbles so I'm good!
 
I'm doing alright myself, actually.

Despite all the wacko shit going on in the news, things are pretty chill on my end. Going to have some friends and relatives come over for dinner, actually. We're having chicken casserole.
 
Today was, without exaggeration, the worst day of my life. Everything has come to hit me all at once.

I have been systematically, methodically broken down by people who claim to love me with one breath and deconstruct and deride me with the next. I was beaten for years, and emotionally abused for a decade, by the very same people who did the same damn thing to my mother for my entire life, and my family still gave me to them without a question.

I have been repeatedly and viscerally betrayed by people that I trusted, that I walked into their home as their son, for 23 years. Every time I've ever tried to escape it, I have been stabbed in the back by false friends, I have been left out to dry by flakes and idiots who decided it wasn't worth our 'friendship' when I left their troon cult, and I have been rejected by the God I have tried, harder than anything, to follow faithfully.

I do not have the strength to continue being the punching bag of my family, 'friends', and neighbors, with only a few strangers on the internet to give me even a single molecule of dopamine. I do not have the strength to be a homeless, dejected faggot who couldn't survive a perfectly average American life. I am so sick and tired of nothing in my life ever turning out even 'okay' , and today, God willing, I'm going to do something. I say that, but at the end of the day, I'm too cowardly to even end my own life, because God knows I'm not vile enough to take somebody else's or put myself in a position where someone has to take mine. I just need to think of a way out of here first, the rest can come later. I'll be in a position to scan my options when I'm not having to worry about my sanity.

I'm sitting in the guest bedroom of my childhood home, with my 'family' on the other side audibly bitching and moaning about how much of a failure I am, the only friend I ever had going straight to voicemail whenever I try to call him, and the closest thing to God in this moment is an old, earmarked KJV bible that isn't gonna solve shit.

Applying for new jobs closer to my new place. I like my job, it's just that our public transit is abysmal and they delayed adding more frequent intervals to the system due to the COVID pandemic. I literally can't drive due to epilepsy so it's one of my few choices besides spending $10-15 each way for an Uber/Lyft, and that shit's expensive.

Hell, I'd work downtown, because at least the line that runs by my place has 10-15 minute interval stops and goes straight downtown. Much more reliable, might look at that.
 
I kinda don't have anywhere else to spew my sad garbage other than an internet forum but today was very bad and it's kinda just crushed my hopes for things being okay. Stuff seemed fine for a good while though socially I'm struggling but maybe everything else is gonna go poorly too.

Very stressed out to the point where my medication doesn't seem to be helping and I'm just very lonely, no idea how to stay hopeful in times like these.
 
Another setback during my vacation! My computer completely crapped out after I updated a driver so now I gotta completely reinstall it from scratch, it's probably gonna take a whole day. Had a feeling this would happen because every time I ever backed up all my shit like I always do every half a year, usually a week later something craps out on the computer or laptop from where I backed up my shit. Thankfully this time it's just a software error.

It's been a super-tough 11 hour day at work and I got home in a weird, despondent mood about life and the world, so I'm sat drinking more coffee than is probably healthy and listening to music* unlikely to do anything to cheer me up. I can see some emails from distant friends, sat in my inbox and when my mood hopefully improves, I'll read and respond to them, that always lifts my day.
If you're having a shitty day, reach out to your friends, guys; it can't hurt.

* Something more than free
