Excuse me, I'm not very depressed or suicidal actually. But you must know that I was born with a genetic birth condition (besides autism) where the part of the brain that controls my balance and coordination, was malformed. This affects my entire body, like speech and speaking for example. I can speak well, but I'm very robotic and weird sounding. It seems like if I'm trying to improve it, I can't. Instead, I feel like I'm doing the same thing over and over again without getting any better at it. Every mental and physical thing requires more extra effort than people without this condition.

And while my condition is a pretty mild form, I'm afraid because I read about a 48-year-old person with the same condition whose degenerated his body and movement. Hence I feel like I don't want to live a very long time. I'd rather die younger, as in 50's or 60's.

I'm also having some self-confidence and behavioral problems too. I am stuck in my own little world and life situation, where I live at home with parents and a bum with no job. I believe most girls I find attractive are turned off by disability and defects.

I feel somewhat conflicted on answering this because I have a similar outlook on life, I have no desire to die a slow death at the age of 80+. I currently ride a sport bike and have a car I race, I would definitely say I'm an adrenaline lover but I also feel conflicted on advising someone else on dangerous activities at the same time.

It's quite easy---just take all sorts of mindless risks and gorge yourself on all the crappy food you can find. The challenge has always been to live long, not the opposite.

Hi, try not to worry about the future. Easier said than done I know. But worry never makes the future easier, it only makes the present harder. None of us knows for sure if we will be here tomorrow. There could be an earthquake, tornado, house fire, car crash, a plane could crash into your house, etc. and you'd be dead. So just try to make the best of each day because none of us have the certainty that we will wake up tomorrow.

Why not just enjoy each day instead of worrying about how you will be affected when you are 40. Enjoy life now and if your body does deteriorate (although medicines may have improved by then) then just go skydiving or rafting down rapids. If you aren't scared about dying early live to the fullest and take risks you would not like approaching a beautiful girl and asking her out

Don't take risks that don't have at least a little reward.

When things start to turn for the worse start doing hard drugs.
