Marissa told me the following in chat:
I don't know what happened Sil, I don't know when things changed for you, but you went from someone who was always happy and always optimistic to someone who can't seem to be happy with a damn thing and i don't know how to react to that anymore other than just be blunt and tell you that you need to work past itI had a really long think after that. All what she said is in a way true. I just don't know what to do about it. Only when I talked to my mother about it it hit me. Today I finally realised what my SLE is doing to me. I live very isolated. My autism has prevented me from really making friends, safe perhaps online. Since I've had to leave my studies, I have about nothing to do all day and all the things I did like are slowly being taken away from me. So perhaps that's why I desperately try to hold on to rping. It's about the last thing I have left that I enjoy.
But this way that is coming to an end too. It feels like I'm more and more shut out of things, even if I want to do things. But the thing is that I sit by the computer most of the day waiting for replies that rarely come, if at all. And that makes me sad. I do want to be happy and optimistic, but I have no idea how I can accomplish that.
I probably need something to do during the daytime. Something that at least for a few hours in the week can give me the illusion that I have a life. Which brings me back to what do I want to do when all things I like are being taken away from me? Find new ones? Where? How? No clue.
