Hi All. I am in a life Crisis

JackOSullivan007

Hey All

My name is Jack and I have Aspergers Syndrome. I also have Mild Tourettes Syndrome and I am in a Life Crisis.

I finished my amazing Special Needs School in June 2012 and have been in a Sixth Form College since September. Before I was sort of in control with my Aspergers and Tourettes but recently the Tics have become unstopable and I feel isolated. There are only a small group of People I trust. My Best Friends (Two of Them) have helped me throughout the era that I have known them and he and She are like my Family. I trust my Sister and her Fianence.

I am at the moment of suicidal thoughts and am scared about my safety from myself.

 

I dont know what to do and the only People who help me are my Best Friends (The Two) and my Sister and Her Fianence. My Mother helps me but does not understand me as well as I wanted.

What do I do. Feel free to comment. All advice or help will be most appeciated.

Jack. (Tourette/Aspie Jack)

  • Thanks for the reply.

    My GP has a brain of a Goldfish. But I prefer talking to my Sister or Counsellor. Thanks for the reply though.

    Jack.

  • Thanks for the reply.

    I am sorry to hear about you wishing you were never born, like I said before I feel the same but I too can not take my own life.

    I am sure you will find good Friends soon. It took me ages to find my Best Friends. My Sister lives in Barnet so I can only see her one Weekend a month. I feel sad when I don't see her but I always know that I will see her soon.

    Thanks again for the reply. If you ever need to talk. Let me know.

    Jack.

  • Thanks for the post.

    I agree with you about my College Enviroment. It is very chaotic and stressful. I see a Counsellor and he helps in the College.

    Thanks again for the Post.

  • Hey

    Thanks for the reply. I am studying BTEC First Public Services Level 2 and Fuctional Skills English at Sixth Form.

    I am also seeing a really good Counsellor who is helping me. I am also on 5 Pills a day to help with Tourettes and Aspergers (Mostly Tics).

    Thanks again for the reply.

    Jack. =)

  • Hey

    Thank you very much for the reply. Sorry it took very long to reply. I forgot my password. I think the change from a Special Needs School where they knew what to do to help me to College where they are not so good at knowing.

    Jack.

  • Jack, maybe you could talk to your GP and see what services there are that could help you?

  • Hi Jack, thank you for sharing.

    I am no expert, but I find in my own case that stress is key to my emotional vulnerability.

    So maybe you just need a rest for your immediate environment of college and a listening ear.

  • Hi Jack,

     

    Life can be very up and down when you are a teenager, When my son when to sixth form he found it really hard at first. Then he took a break and talkeed to his tutor who is a good listener and now he's fworked out what works for him . Some days he doesn't go as its all a bit much, then they email him work so he can do it at home. Do you have a tutor you can talk to - or a special needs co-ordinator? Sound like you could do with some moore help but its good you have some peopl you can trust .

    Some sixth form collegs have counsellors  you can talk to - they may help you work out what to do next. Maybe your doctor can help. Sometimes taking tablets for a short time calms things down. Its hard to think when there is so much going on.

    My son had siucidal thoughts. The doctor listened really carefully to him and took him seriously. Perhaps your sister could take you to the GP? My son likes me to go in with him, . I start the talking then he tells it how it is. I think they might be able to help you , but you need to take that step and go and see them.

    What subjects are you doing at sixth form?

  • hi Jack - I'm sorry to hear you're feeling so unhappy.  It's good you have 4 people in your life who are a big help to you.  It can be a big change leaving school and going to college.  Do you think that might have had an affect upon you emotionally and does the college give you support?  Others will post as well so you've found a good place here.
