    Thanks. Went through the gp a while ago and they said there was nothing they could offer me.  Tried 111 once and they laughed at me when I explained I thought I might be autistic.

    That's why i feel so alone and lost. There is no where to turn now.

    I think you meant you don't belong in this world rather than this forum, where of course you are welcome? You say you feel so alone and lost, with nowhere to turn, and I absolutely relate to that. Most mornings I wake up and start ruminating. At some point I find myself thinking that maybe today will be the day I meet someone I CAN talk to, but it never happens. 

    The point I'm trying to make is that you are definitely NOT alone. People on here get it, and whilst we may not be there for you, we're certainly here for you.
