Hi, I have undiagnosed Autism and I’m very ill mentally. I need help but not from NHS. Whats been done to me is wrong. I didn’t do anything wrong to anyone. I shouldn’t have been on any medications. I wasn’t bothering anyone.

What Cinnabar said is great, and those links are really helpful. I saw your message and wanted to comment to see if you needed any help. I think this community is wonderful with that.
You don't have to suffer in silence. We want to help. Maybe a support group or something on meet up might help?
We are sorry to hear that this. Thank you for sharing some information about your situation. We just wanted to add some additional signposting that may be useful.
Take Care

I’m so sorry - this must feel so terrible for you. The priority I think must be your safety at this point. Could you find a local library and see if they can direct you to the local services that might be able to help you? I understand your suspicion of services, the nhs etc. Medication is not for everyone - but they always try to push us into taking it (although I recognise that it can help many people - but not everyone can tolerate it/suits it). You need to access some service though that can find somewhere for you to live in the short term. Try the library as a first point of call. I’m sorry you’re having such an incredibly difficult time - and have had so many difficult years. Things can improve though - the only guarantee in life is that there is impermanence and nothing lasts forever - change is inevitable- and often that’s a good thing when we feel things are in a terrible state for us. Good luck.
Hi Water
I have an idea of how you could feel about the NHS as Im diagnosed with c-ptsd and one of big abusers was the mental health teams over many years. I cannot go back to them even though Im certain I need therapy.
So maybe take a look at the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) website. They a list of accredited practitioners and many are now skilled at working with neurodivergent clients. Whist some are expensive there are some who take on clients with limited income.
Good luck
Hey Water. I know you don't like NHS, but you do need help. You might want to go to a GP s surgery and ask them for help as a vulnerable person. I don't know if you can find a CAB center, they might be able to help you figure out housing, or what you need to do to get help. Shelter might be able to help too? (I put in England as that's where you said you are now).
No one can help. Everyone just harms and creates harm. I am now in England with a car that i cant get fixed. No housing to go to at the end of the week. My data shared by everyone. Medical damage. Unsafe. Hired car to return on thursday to a completely different area so wont be able to return to car i can get fixed. So for now i have a hired car till thursday and a car i cant get fixed anywhere and will be on foot homeless on thirsday miles away from the car thats needing fixed with bo friends no family no support mond gqmes played on me and unsafe and im female and i will last on the streets for several days as i have money to buy bedding andsome things that are waterproof from a shop to keep me dry for so many days wnd obviously no phone charge and when i sleep whatever i have will be stolen which will be obvvious that will happen and also jy identity shared by the governemnt ans others to abuse and harm me deliberatly. For now utill thursday im okay. No one actually genuinely helped and i went to social work and nhs for years and they medicated me and by the age of 37 i was over 17 and a half stone from the medications and im only 5ft 4 and nonone cared that i couldnt carry the weight ans that i shouldn’t have been on any psychiatric medicatikns the entire 20 years. I would have been dead if i had kept taking the medicwtions and i never want to see thr nhs again.
As Sharon Mod says, this site is not an emergency service. But it might help for you to describe what has happened?
Hi Water,
I'm so sorry to hear that you're so ill and that what has been done to you is wrong.
