Suicidal autistic

DaveAsperg

I know you are fed up with my going on about this, but I am stuck on my focus for trying to help suicidality. In ASD we focus on single items and don’t easily move on. Such is the reason I believe we get stuck on the negatives and don’t see the positives, so life becomes intolerable.

What do you think?

  • I look at Stoicism most days with the app and read Victor Frank when I first got problems. Returned many times but no help.

    Desperate for useful way to find. Working on the suicide research  but no support

    How about stop thinking about suicide? What is your special interest? Can you take some time out of your life and go and just do that? I find that if I completely cut off any human contact myself for a while then I soon balance out and stop thinking negatively.  How do you know that wouldn't work for you too? I have ASD too and I am EXTREMELY negative and ruminate like mad at times. I have gradually come out of that (I guess its the lockdown maybe thats helped) so if I can and I'm super dark when in that state I'm sure you should be able too as well. Stop looking into suicide related material you will never get your mind off it if you are doing that
