I can’t help but notice that 70% ish of posts on these forums are either about suicide, depression, being fed up and done with life and complaining about things. I include myself I have also been fed up and have came to the forums looking for support. But I kind of wondered why autistic people are so depressed all the time and so quick to give up on life so quickly. I know circumstances play a part in it. But some non autistic people go through equally negative experiences like bullying and lack of relationships yet don’t seem as affected by it. I guess I just wonder why us autistic people are so down all the time. I notice I am down when everything is going great but it’s like there is a rain cloud above my head or something. Maybe I do have a chemical imbalance after all. Just want to spread the message to everyone thinking of ending it that life is beautiful and too precious to give up I know sometimes we can’t see that maybe that’s the problem. To anyone thinking about it please don’t give up there is medication out there and people you can talk to. You never know what positive thing lies round the corner. There will be negatives but don’t make the negatives bigger than they actually are.
Life is depressing and empty if you don't have anyone. If you define life as what you share and contribute among others, then if you are alone, you literally have no life. You're not living. You're surviving from day to day, and that doesn't have any meaning. What normal people don't grasp is that you don't have to look like Quasi Modo for the world to wreck you by a thousand cuts. You can have an ugly mole on your lip, and they will leave you in the gutter. There was one person who was perfect, and he was crucified for it.
