I just want to cry, really. I just got rejected from a potential friendship that I thought was meant to be after being friendless for so long. I have ASD and wasn't diagnosed until 17 so really struggled at school with mh issues, fitting in, and 4 overdoses. I became agoraphobic at 13 until 24ish and I've joined groups where i've made friends, but they are all about 30 years older than me.
I have been seeing a mentor for the past few months, we are close in age, she also has mh issues and we get on really well. Mentor takes me places on the bus as I'm always getting lost when travelling alone. I just mentioned to my mentor that it would be nice to stay and touch and be friends after I no longer need mentoring and she basically said she couldn't because of the charity policies.
I'm really really hurt and upset. I just want 1 friend close to my age (27) to go to the cinema with, to do fun things with. It makes me so sad when out and about to see women my age with their babies and husbands, I know that won't happen for me because of my ASD and mental health.
I have my cat, but i can't talk to him about stuff, I can't take him to the cinema or go for ice cream.
I just feel deflated and have cried on the bus on the way home. I just wish life would be a bit kinder to me and stop hurting me and punishing me
