I'm Tired

I hate being autistic, When I was younger I would boast about it before I was even diagnosed. I don't know how I could of been so proud of it. I have barely any friends because people know, Everyone at school think I'm a freak and I don't have any real friends, I hate being alive and I feel as if the world would be better without me, but I cannot tell anyone because I don't want to upset them. I just read my EHCP draft plan and I feel embarrassed and ashamed of myself, I kept tearing up as I read it because now I finally understand why people don't like me. I wish I wasn't born this way. I want to die.

  • I’m very sorry you’re going through this. I’m also still at school (final year in a German Gymnasium) and it’s not easy. I sometimes also get the feeling that it’s never going to get better, but please push through a bit longer. The fact that you posted this text tells me that you’re strong and courageous, even more than you probably think. Although you might not see it right now, it will get better. There will be dark times but there’ll also be good times that are worth living for.

    Focus on whats worth the struggles (engaging in interests, activities you enjoy etc.). And if you get to the point where you’re not able to see those things for a while; at least live on for the people around you. Be it your parents or maybe another person that’s important to you. Stay alive for them during the times when you’re no longer living for yourself.

    I’d love to hear from you once in a while, just to know how you’re doing. Keep your head up, no matter how heavy it feels.
