Question
I’m 22 but didn’t enjoy my life much before being hit with LC/POTS. I’m autistic and didn’t have any friends in high school. As a result, I didn’t drink until I was like 18 because I view alcohol as a social substance and well, I had no friends to drink with. Now I can’t drink at all. So I haven’t had much party experience. I didn’t get to travel much either. I’ve never been to Europe but have always wanted to go. I have never been in a long term relationship and barely got to have sex either. Now dating or sex doesn’t seem obtainable at all. There’s so much that I should’ve done before I got sick that I didn’t get to do. I have spent the past decade of my life being depressed when I barely had any real problems. At least none that I couldn’t have worked through. But this is something that absolutely nobody can help with. I feel like my life sucks. Since I was like 12 years old, I was depressed and now I’m practically disabled. LC sucks for everyone but I feel like it’s a whole different type of pain when you’re young but you never got to enjoy your youth and now the rest of your life seems bleak.
