I think more of you for being mature enough and sufficiently in tune with your feelings that you are seeking support, and I sincerely hope that you receive it. I was semi-suicidal when I was about 15 and then again when I was 20 and told NO ONE (and fortunately didn't carry it through). I'm happy with my life now, and grateful for the many good people and things in it, but this state of equanimity took a long time to come about. Everyone, I'm sure, will gladly welcome you back to aspieforumland.

I've been very depressed lately. Now it has gotten to the point where I feel suicidal and like hurting other people. I have made a decision to get help. This is why I am admitting myself to the psychatric hospital. Please understand my decision and do not think less of me. After tonight it will be a while before I am on, as they do not allow computers at this hospital.
Cat
be well
we are all behind you!!!

I believe it shows a great deal of maturity to seek help if you need it, Cat. I hope you feel better soon.

I just went to a funeral for a young man, 22 yrs old when he died. I knew him from my volunteer job/musical band. I did not know him well. He was quiet and I talked to him a few times. The casket was closed and there were pictures of him. All that was said was that he died suddenly. There were many people at the funeral. I said I was sorry to his family even though I had never met them before.
Someone told me later that he killed himself. I am so upset by this. Maybe he thought noone cared or he did not have anyone to talk to about his problems. I would have tried to be a friend if he had wanted to. Although being friends with a 22 yr old man and a married 41 yr old woman might be a little akward.
All I can say is that maybe what he did ended his suffering. His suffering that I did not know about. But we all suffer. Some of us everyday. When everything seems so bad in our lives that feeling usually just lasts a few days then we find something good in all the gloom. So just keep trying to find all those little gems.
I don't think that he realized that he would cause so many people so much pain and regret. Maybe he just thought his family would be upset for about two weeks and then slowly forget him. But this is not true. I have heard that some people think suicide is a very selfish thing to do. I do see him thinking about that. I do not think he was a selfish person. Now I think maybe he might have had some problems talking to other people and making friends.
So all of you here, do not give up. If you are feeling bad then you can post up here. Please do not do suicide. There is some good things for you.

It is an odd feeling when someone dies unexpectedly. A friend I enjoyed talking to in college had all these plans. I did not know him that well but I knew him just as well as I did anyone else. He was going to go to university to train as an engineer for the armed forces. Then he was just dead leaving a seat empty next to me in physics class. He got killed by a car rather than a mortar or stray bullet. I found myself imagining all the things he would have done. He would have been in his first year of university…
All anyone can do is push off in the right direction and hope for the best.

I don't think you're weak, realising when you need help from others are not a weakness, it's common sense. Just because I don't want people to try to "cure" me or brain-wash me into an NT (which is impossible, but that haven't stopped them from trying) doesn't mean that I don't need help from others. I've been in a similar situation, and I'm sure that most of us has, and then I got a psychologist who actually listenend to me and helped me with communicating with the NT's, as well as some very limited medication, and that has actually helped me a lot with getting me into a real aspie-designed education and to make people understand me more, but without making me less aspie. So good luck!

Woohoo, that's great!

I thought you would be there for much longer, at least a month. No offense intended, of course. I guess my expectations are a bit high.

Ok. There's a lot I don't know about hospitals and mental hospitals and such. How was it there? And how was it that they treated your depression so quickly?

Do you have any suggestions for continual apathy? (Apathy 24/7 pretty much)
