Suicidal thoughts

Pigtail

I noticed this morning when I was doing my work I had suicidal thoughts, no active plans just general suicide thoughts about my life and how worthless I am. I'm a burden to my family, I've no real friends as such and when I had the chance to be a mum I ruined everything and it cost me so much.

Do these thoughts mean anything do you think? Or do you think they are just a moment of negativity creeping in? I have to get back to my work now. I'm hoping busying myself will clear the thoughts as right now they are still here gnawing away at me.

If you feel comfortable saying about it I'd like to hear what you think is behind it.

  • Thanks for your replies I do appreciate you taking out the time to reply to me. Thank you. X

    I won't go to the GP as I don't like them very much because they don't really understand autism, mine don't anyway they always completely ignore it and how it affects me. But I have been thinking about getting help from a therapist. I'm saving up to move out on my own but I could look into therapy first, I think it might be a good support for me.

    My thoughts are better now. I'm just tired.

    Thank you again x

    Your GP doesn't need to understand your autism to help you get referred to a CPN or psychiatrist, so don't rule it out, or if you can ask for a different GP if they have one and try with them.

    You could also think about autistic peer support/mentor, if that's more appropriate.
