Nearing the end

DaveAsperg

I have posted on here many times about feeling suicidal as I realise we Asd people get obsessed with ideas and I have had this for some years now and been convicted for it. My brain cannot think of anything else now despite all the treatments I have tried and people I have seen.

the latest has been a film producer interested in documenting my story.

and yet her i am still trying to find an effective intervention.

I have documented my story and thinking on here. I do not want to die, but the distress of these ongoing negative thoughts is intolerable and I can’t believe what the police have done to me for trying to safely help this awful scenario.

anyone got any helpful comments . Please don’t laden me with more negativity and guilt

  • Have you tried stoicism? There is really no point in worrying about the past, or things you cannot change. It's completely wasted energy and just a source of unhappiness. You don't have a time machine, whatever happened has already happened. Don't obsess about the future either. It will come regardless. Find things you enjoy and do those; be mindful and present when eating, going for a walk, watching the sunset, etc. Live one day at a time.

    Money only matters insofar as it puts a roof over your head and buys you food. What other people think doesn't matter at all, it is only your reaction to it that creates displeasure. What might or might not happen in the future doesn't matter. Just live in the present moment and enjoy your life - get out of your head and stop ruminating.

    You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength. -- Marcus Aurelius

    Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants. -- Epictetus

    Yes I read Stoics quotes every day. They are good, but I still have all the negative thoughts.

    I never hankered after money particularly but saw it as a measure of success and achievements.

    I always seem to have a negative twist on things

    I identify: it’s like having a sickness of mind in me.
