I go from day to day and make up stuff to keep me alive.
Hello NAS80873,
I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling this way.
You may like to have a look at the mental health section of our website which has useful links to information and advice about a range of mental health issues: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/mental-health

All the best,

Just to say. I cannot access any of these links. But TBH, I am kinda done with reading self help. For instance, one option is usually joining a Autism support group. There is only one in my area & I am not within their criteria because I am over 18.I think the older generation are really left to fend for themselves most of the time!
