suicide

Post Reply New Topic

Please don't do it. Yes, it seems like there is NOTHING worth living for, but seriously, there is.
I keep telling myself that once I get out of school, I can always go away to someplace better, and that's not death. You can too.

the only places im going to end up are the gutter prison or a mental hospital

18
I was your age once too...
and in our shoes

Aspie17, listen to me!

We all here at WP care about you. Really, we do! In the past I thought of killing myself, but just never had the guts to do it. I'm sure there are other people like Kilroy who are very supportive of you. Before you kill yourself, you should think about the people in your life who care about you. Don't just think about how bad society is toward you. Think about your family, too! You're only 16 years old! For a lot of us in adolescence, the journey is just beginning. Someone once told me that a disability just makes one work harder at something. For us, it's people skills. Everyone is precious and special, including you. Here at WP, we support each other when we go through things like this. If you want, you can read my latest blog that gives a quick analysis of what I went through growing up. We all care about you here! In fact, I think there are more people who care about you than what you think.

As for you Kilroy, I can see that you're doing a great job!

Fellow Aspie,
Yoshie

Here's another tip: your mother is probably depressed too. I think you might be better to talk to the shrink without her. You're picking up stuff he is telling your mother, and may not be as harsh as you think.

All Nt's are not bad either. There will be one teacher you can go to who has compassion. Your problem will be to recognise that person. If you can think of someone, make sure they know about aspergers.

Have you followed The Machine's links. Do it. And you do have friends.

Okay now, get on line to that help group.

I remember when I was 16. I thought some girl liked me but she ended up not talking to me for the rest of my life, and spending all her time with my best friend. I talked to nobody....I spent every day alone, at school I spent 40 minutes alone during lunch listening to music, and I was pretty much just a loner all the way. I bothered other girls, trying to find love in the wrong way, but I just talked about myself, thinking that I would get sympathy. It's the wrong way. I thought about suicide for years and years....I would steal beer and pills from my dad, drink a half bottle of mouth wash, find something to huff, anything......all I would think about is how little I had to live for and how the entire world was on the opposite side of the fence as I was...but all those brain cells were wasted. It was a phase in my life where I saw no future, but I was just blind.

Five years from now you will realize that there is alot more to life. The things that happen as a teenager, while many people cherish them, don't matter at all. I hated high school and thought it was a total waste. But I hope you make it through and realize, better than I did, that there is alot more to life than the BS you put up with during your teens. Five years from now might seem like a long time, but it's gonna be here before you realize it.

You'll find somebody who loves you and you'll want to live, just for them. And besides that, you'll find alot more things to live for in a few years. You'll run in to a job that you hadn't expected to get, you'll run into friends who you hadn't expected to meet. You'll find new hobbies that you want to devote your time toward... get a job, and start looking on ebay, you're bound to find some things that are cool, and once you land a job you'll be able to start wasting your money like I always did (and do) Ever look into RC cars? Or computers?

My first two paychecks were combined to buy a water-cooled computer case, even though I didn't yet have a computer to put in it. But just that mammoth high-tech computer case brought my spirits up...eventually I put an entire computer together, and it was way cooler than my friends', who (although they were nerds like I was) respected me because I used my own time to make money to put together something that I really wanted.

Eventually I bought a $3000 motorcycle with my paychecks, and it gave me something to spend my time on...gave me something to live for, and "improve myself" on. You'll fall in love with someone or something and realize that your life is more than what others think of it...it's your life, and its something you build and be proud of. Just because you're sick of it now doesn't mean that you give up, it just means that you look forward to things turning around.

I really hope you feel better, because I've been next to the bottle, on top of the roof, etc......and I'm eternally glad that I never decided to go through with it. Whoever said that it's a "permanent solution to a temporary problem" couldn't be more right, however cliche' it may sound.

And besides, at least wait till you turn 21 to see how you like life... at least then you can buy a beer to chill out a bit Just give it time. Life sucks, and you'll find out that it's all about doing things you don't like... but you get to do the things you do like on the side, and --it's all worth it in the long run--.

That's it, this "aspie17" guy is definitely a troll or blatant attention seeker in my eyes. Aspie17, I do not believe that you're Autistic, neither do I believe that you're suicidal. You expect me to feel sorry for you? 'fraid not chum. Leave this board for people who truly feel depressed.

Sorry, it had to be said. This member is pissing me off.

well whatever the situation Racer_J gives some damn good advise

well Shleed is a thread police member.
if she says aspie17 is troll and is not autistic, then it must be so.

You didn't read my post correctly. I said that "in my eyes" that he's a troll.

"in my eyes" = another way of saying "In my opinion."



So no, you don't have to agree with me.

EDIT: I'm a guy.

Okay, no worries. I was being sarcastic though.
I dunno about a troll, but i dont know how you can say aspie is not Autistic, you must have special powers or something.

I've no special powers, but I get my impression of him from my observations of his posts. Even other members (Like Sopho) thought he was acting a bit weird.

A) He made a thread on how we're all self-diagnosed attention-whores. Claims that people with AS has low IQs.

B) Makes this thread about on how he wants to kill himself (which he tells us multiple times over a period of days - while doesn't do it) as IMO an attempt of blatant attention seeking.

C) Makes a thread on how he "hears" voices from "god" to kill people, and on how he seen a "lizards head" on his head through a mirror.

well they have diagnostic criteria for AS and related disorders:

here is one such criteria

none of the criteria relates to text written on internet forums.
