I have just recently been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome ( a form of Autism). Recently, I have been thinking about suicidal attempts. I do journal which seems to help relieve the stress in my life. Any thoughts or suggestions to helping with suicidal thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Get a psychologist is my suggestion.

It is always nice to talk to someone, even though it's difficult.

I like the idea of a diary/journal. It allows you to pour all your thoughts and concerns and critisms into something and not worry about getting a smart-ass reply back. And once you're done there, you're always welcome to pour the rest of it here! To help in the way of the pouring-thoughts-into-the-diary buisness, try reciting the main thoughts you just put in. Usually helps releive the stress in my life (kinda like repeating a question to get it etched into your head a bit better).

For a bit of stupid spiritual guidance, take my answer to the meaning of life: The meaning of life is to enjoy it. If you're not enjoying it, you're not living, but remember that it is NEVER too late to start!

Maybe you could find something to get obsessed with, such as this website. Like drawing? Draw anything you feel like drawing. Suck at drawing? Do it anyway, I sucked when I started! Anyway, try and find something you like doing, even if you suck at it. If you keep enjoying it despite the fact you're not too good, then you're on the right track.

Sorry, I'm not the best person to talk to on the subject of suicide, but I always try and help out those in need!

Hi Suzie

I'm glad you've decided to come here. A lot of the people on this site have been through very difficult times like you have and a lot of us, myself included, have considered suicide. You can talk freely about these sorts of things here, and I hope you will. You will find people who care about you and understand the depth of the pain you are experiencing.

Since journal writing helps you, keep doing it.

hey Suzie,
Who loves you? Make a list of those people who love you. We are here on this planet to experience all there is to feel. Count on those who love you. Tell them it is hard for you . They wont have the answers to stop you feeling suicidal but tell them. It is a relief to speak it and have it out. Once it is released to another it is a feelign shared. Love helps and love keeps us from the darkness that can take over. Love for yourself too girl. Look at all the things Suzie is good at and what Suzie enjoys. Life is precious and when it goes there is nothing. Nothing is devoid of all things. Stay here.

suicide is bad because its irreversable. You should try talking to someone like a parent, spouse or someone else very close to you.

You should also try to see a psych. because its like talking to someone like that helps and by law they cannot say anything to anyone else. if your uncomfortable talking to someone like that just remember they have probably seen worse. They may also try meds.. sometimes meds help sometimes they don't, if they put you on them and there is no change or if it gets worse you should let someone know right away

anyway welcome and i hope you find ways to help

Hi Suzie - welcome to Wrong Planet.
The journal is a great idea - try to take something positive out of each day - it does not matter how small a thing it is. For the times when you are really low - look back at all those little victories and give yourself a pat on the back.
Life can be very difficult for anyone - especially Aspies, but once you get the hang of doing life differently it can actually be fun!
You just have to learn how to swim uphill...
Finally now that you have found us, you have a whole load of new friends who are going through the same issues as you. When things seem bad just post on 'The Haven' forum - you will find lots of support there.
Good luck.
