Im still young but i just feel so lost/useless/or like a loser and im not sure what to do now or int he future. i have so many ideas but i just cant do most of them becasue im depressed or i struggle (i have autism and dsleyixa). ive always been treate dlike the odd one out and ive never had irl friends that are actually friendly, i just feel so alone and i hate that i want to change or dream but i feel lost.

I also want many thing like money, fun, a good life and whatnot but im just not too sure. i take meds but i feel like something is missing and im not sure what that could be. i also want thing sinstantly and that anoyes me and im not sure what to do about it.

Other responses here are pretty great advice. I just want to add that feeling this way is pretty normal in our modern world.

Our society evolved much faster than our biology. This world isn't very satisfying with respect to the kinds of things our ancestors had to do I order to survive and be part of a group of other people. Most jobs feel unsatisfying because they are.

For example: it feels good to work a physically hard job in the same way exercise feels good, and yet physical work is often looked down upon as though there is no value in it (which is crap), and people who spend lots of time in a gym don't face that same stigma about sweating.
