Are people with Aspergers more likely to commit suicide?

Post Reply New Topic

I'll sign up to this little gang. Waiting for both Dad & Nan to go before swiftly following through the exact same ideation I've dreamt of since I was about 12.

I guess if/when everyone stops caring I am likely to kill myself unless I die of an accidental overdose or something......but for whatever reason there's people who want me here even though all I do is bring other people down with my constant anxiety, depression and sometimes there is paranoia involved. Just don't know how long I can put up with always ruining things because of my mind....and even if I isolate myself I still think about it, and it still makes me feel worse about myself making me give even less of a crap about my own well-being.

I wonder if considering suicide as an option is ever anything that goes away, I'm guessing not.

to @lDub @j-greens @sweetleaf

i was having a very bad week last week n thinking about it so much, hence my posting.
but certainly still feel the "common" thing here with u guys.

am trying to put it aside though - but yea, like@sweetleaf ppl still "want"/need me here,
and "getting rid" of oneself isnt exactly an easy choice plus act to pull off, as easy as it may sound.

Hope ur doing well at the moment. take care. hope to hear frm u soon

I don't want to live at all right now. If only i could find a painless method, or an effective method to kill myself.

I have no money, so that cancels a lot of options out. I don't even live anywhere near big drops or high cliffs etc. Its just torture. I can't even make a damn noose properly. I promised myself i'd be dead by the end of April, and there's only 2 days left.
I'm not here for Nt type attention whoring, i really want to leave this world. I hate it, i hate everything. I wish i lived in the US were there is easy access to guns. I would travel to the set of cliffs about 30 miles from where i live, but i have no money, and neither do my parents.

I keep feeling like i shouldn't be here. All the painless ways to kill yourself seem to have some money barrier on them. The only pills that are around are aspirin, and i heard that they just melt your liver and you die painfully and slowly. I get so envious when i hear about a suicide, i wish i was that person.

I'm sure if my parents died and my husband left me I would go through with what I've always wanted to do.

Why? That's my constant question... why? There are no answers that satisfy. There are only more questions to ask.

I regularly experience suicidal ideation. I have made several serious attempts in the past. Their failure is a result of poor judgment and happenstance, not a testament to my lack of conviction. Sometimes the difficulty of living as a person like me in a world like this is simply more painful than I can bear.

Unfortunately a lack of friends and meaningful relationships plus autistic traits (and as high functioning people we are aware of it) mean that we are all the more likely to commit suicide.

Such idiots.

I wouldn't wish real depression on anyone, however, anyone who says something stupid like "it is the easy way out" just has not had a very serious depression, that is one thing I am fairly sure about.

I shouldn't say stupid, ignorant is more to the point.

They are not idiots either, I just over react when I see something like that on this forum, of all places.

Saying it is the easy way out is much worst than just listening to what is said and they thinking about it, that is more to the point.

Suicidal ideation is just that, the idea of suicide.

Please don't confuse that with the earnest desire to end the pain of depression.

I suppose every thinking person from Hamlet on has had the idea of suicide occur to them with more or less thought or even study resulting.

I thought I was the only one I found out three weeks ago and I see the world in a new way now.
