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.

I'm a big fan of HealthygamerGG regardless of whether you're a "gamer" or not. Dude's a clinical psychologist, actually reads up on current research, and unlike most clinical psychologists he actually dealt with that sense of "stuckness" that a lot of us feel and sympathizes with it.

I don't agree with everything he talks about, but he's good at clearly delineating the line between speaking "as a professional" with scientific evidence and speaking about his personal experience, and his advice got me to start meditating. He goes deeper into problems than "just DO it, bro" because that's sort of his job, and he doesn't shy away from explaining the "mechanics" of the brain because he actually trusts people to get it. I don't have "more" motivation but what I'm motivated towards is changing shifting towards more helpful things.
