I can’t work because I screwed up my body too bad while off my medication. Some jerk I thought was my friend was being really toxic while I was off my medication and acting threatening like he was going to come after me when really he was messing with my head. But I’ve done lots of damage to my heart and I can’t even walk around very fast or hardly do anything. I’m very light head and my body feels numb. I’m dying. I go all month without any money or anyone to talk to. I can’t keep up with my peers. My autism is the type I suck at conversation. My body is too messed up to date anyone because all they’re going to see is a busted up poor woman. What the hell am I supposed to do with my time? Even my family sucks. I’m the black sheep under dog without any money. Poor and sick while they go shopping and on vacations. They treat me sub human more so then most people do. Everyone treats me like s**t. Sometimes I don’t see the point of carrying on.
Perhaps you could find a good friend or two here on Wrong Planet? Don't count on it, of course, but I would suggest that you not rule it out as a possibility.
To that end, I would strongly suggest editing your profile to include your approximate location. Don't be specific enough to endanger your privacy, but do mention at least what country you live in, and, if it's a large country, which state/province/region and/or nearest major metropolitan area.
Of course, you'll need to be very careful about meeting anyone in-person. Don't agree to meet anyone, or even give them your legal name, until you've had lots of correspondence with them via both the forums and private messages, and if possible some video chat also.
