Adult suicide and how to cope as an aspie in an adult world.

Not all suicide is because of depression, teen angst and other things. As an aspie I find I am most suicidal when I find I struggle to cope in an adult world.

Basic things - managing finances, jobs, moving houses, tenancy agreements, having to move out after a fixed period, finding new places to live, what to do when job contracts expire, how to cope with ongoing problems and trying to be able to well, keep alive.

I cannot cope with all this stress.

I cannot cope living an unstable life, not knowing where I'm going to be living in 2 months, not knowing what's going on with jobs and income, not being able to have basic life skills to function as an adult in an adult world.

I find myself more often than not backed into a wall with stress, disorganisation and chaos and I just want out.

I envy people who don't have life skill problems, I really do. They have no idea what sort of hell life is when you are in a mess the entire time, not being able to cope with the most basic of things.

There must be a way out. If I can't just lop myself, there must be something I can do to be shot of this horrible society. A society based on money.

That sounds familiar, though I wish I had some good advice for you. What do you have in the way of a IRL support network to discuss this with and maybe seek help from? If not, are there any services available that might partially help take some of the load off of you?

My figuring is just live in the woods. Boycott the society I can't handle, that's my figuring.

I think that when im really unhappy i have the least chance of killing myself, it's when there's nothing wrong and i feel nothing that i really worry.

hale_bopp, i don't think you're struggling with those things, i think you're struggling with finding a reason for doing those things. It's amazing how nothing those things you listed become if you have something to live for.

I got told when i got my dx that aspies live in the moment, i think it's hard to be happy when you know that things aren;t right + you don;t know if they will ever be right, all you have is this moment that you're living now and solutions are so far away. The only thing i can say is the same thing i'd say to myself, keep holding on and something good will happen.

i would like an accountant in a few months. if you can do it, then i can set up a situation where you can work from home.

the accounts are simple but manifold.

i would like a person who can relieve me of my calculative duties. i would pay well ($40 per hour), but the job is only 3 hours per day 5 days per week.

most people want more than that.

Cheer up Hale, you are doing better than me.

At 33 I've lived at home for my entire life with the exception of three months when I had an abseiling job on a chimney.

Last year my mother moved in with her boyfriend for a bit and left me on my own with one bill to take care of. After a year it ended up with with a bailiff’s letter.
