I'm autistic and I ****hate myself for it...

Hey guys.

I have thought long and hard about this and I can't take this *** anymore. I can't accept my autism for what it is; I don't want this. This isn't me. ***, things are **** hard right now too.. I don't know how to move forward and all day and all night I think, "I'm different than everyone else," - "They don't need me," "I'm **** useless." "My autism is the reason why I'm the way I am. Disabled. Stands out from the crowd, can't even get a **** job and being hard on myself is all I seem to be good at!" - "There's nothing else for me!" You see this ***?

Doing something new > Focusing only on the bad > Overthinking > Panicing > Depression.

This is my thought process. All it is really. I've tried. I've tried very hard to reset my thinking and to remember that I can be like the norm. It just takes time, energy, and one hell of a good self-esteem. But I can't do it anymore. This whole thing on "bettering myself to be normal" wouldn't have even MATTERED if I didn't have AUTISM. What the *** do I do with myself? Media keeps telling me that autistic individuals feel 3x more depressed than NT. ***. There's no way out of this! I will always be here, and I'll never get out! So as I crumble and fall back into the abyss of ***, I think to myself... "One way.. the only, the ONLY way you'll ever get out of this, is if you finally pull the plug." - "Let everything go, all that mother *** special ed, your internship, that girl you've always thought was too good for you, your sad, pathetic attitude about EVERYTHING, learning differently, that ITCH to change the way people are with each other, you need to let this go. *** life. *** what people think of you. *** existing."

I am nothing but collateral. I really DON'T matter.
And you want to know the worst part of it all? I have nobody to tell me otherwise. It's always me helping others, never the other way around. This is my rest.

I'll leave this post up for anyone who cares enough to read this. FML.

  • Hi there, it's sounds like you are in a horrible place right now, like almost suicidal and that's worrying.

    When you get that low you really have to reach for help, from your doctor or mental health services maybe, I've been to that dark place and I still find myself back there sometimes, very recently in fact that's why I came here to share my feelings with people like you, so I don't feel so alone, and I guess that's why you're here too.

    People do care, they just don't always know how much a person is hurting inside, keeping posting and let all those feelings out, but think hard and try and throw in a few positives however small they may seem, there must be something you are good at, or something  you like or care a lot about,, hang in there, there will be better days.

  • I agree you need to get in touch with your GP if you feel that low as it wont do you any good
