Well this is the end. Parents are kicking me out, I've got nowhere to go, no-one who loves me. Life for me is over. It was nice knowing you all. I'm going to the stores to spend what little money I have to buy something with codine in it. I'll die peacefully in my sleep. Goodbye.

Please contact whoever diagnosed you with depresson, anxiety and OCD and let them know what's going on. There are probably programs in place for kids in your situation. I'm pretty sure there are some here so why not where you are?

It makes me sad that you've felt like this is the only decision you have left. =[

But I hope if you do go through with it it all goes okay... =]

You don't need someone to love you to live.

Would talking about it help? I am fifty five and had five kids, my youngest is going to be seventeen in February. She has Rett Syndrome and even though she can't talk or be without diapers SHE IS AS VALUABLE A HUMAN BEING AS ANY!! !!ONE ELSE........and SO ARE YOU!! !! !! !! !! !! !! You're life is precious. Are you still there? Do you still have access to a computer so that you can talk with me. I have had depression since I was a child, and no drugs could cure it. You are only seventeen.....things change......keep hope alive. H O P E......my poem about hope is.....Hope is

Luv,

my parents kicked me out at that age and i'm 51 now. still here.

you need to contact a crisis housing organisation or whatever welfare body deals with teens in crisis.

if you have any friends at all throw yourself on their mercy.

good luck.

I don't know how to contact my GP or councillor. I only have access to a computer for a very limited time (about until my battery dies). Once that's gone I'm all alone.

well it's sunday night, I don't think you can do much tonight. have your parents given you a deadline to be out by?

i'm on the east coast so I'm going to bed soon. isn't there a catholic welfare organisation in perth? or try samaritans, they're in the phone book.

http://www.thesamaritans.org.au/

according to their website, youthline is 9388 2500

I have to be gone by tomorrow. I don't know about any welfare organizations in perth, I don't know anything about these kinds of things. I also can't call any hotlines or similar phone services because I just go blank on phones and can't talk.

all wildlife is in the same predicament as you.
maybe feel your nature and activate your will to survive.

no sensation lasts for ever.

if you win a 10 million dollar lottery, then the euphoria lasts about 12 months, and then normalcy sets in again

if you lose your legs, the despair lasts about 12 months and then it is spent.

people in jail begin to adjust after 6 months..etc etc etc.

whatever the sudden change in your environment that makes you insecure, you will acclimatize to it within months.

if you are afraid you will perish if you remain alive, then to end your life to guard against that is the absurdest thing

i agree with b9, killing yourself isn't going to save you. If i may ask, why did your parents put you out of the house (or are about to put you out of there house)? Is it because you're old enough to live on your own? or did you do something wrong ?

Of course, first of all I'd advice you to talk to your parents again. But since I know nothing of the situation, I don't know whether that's possible.

So I'll instead move right on to:

Do you have a therapist you can turn to? psychologist, psychiatrist? Have you looked into the telephone book or on the Internet and typed in your town and youth services/youth welfare office? Have asked your parents for how to contact your GP? And if you really have no idea who to call, go or call the police. Really.

In any case, try calling. Don't give up even after your third to fifth attempt... Write down everything. Something like 'Hello, my name is... I have autism/AS which is a form of autism. It's hard to speak. I've been thrown out-' and so on. People will be more relaxed if you sound crazy on the phone or in person if you state you have autism. Say word for word, forget about the sentence.

It doesn't matter if you stutter or make long pauses between words and are hysteric and partly mute. Seriously, it doesn't matter. The other person will understand you anyway.

If that totally doesn't work, write everything down (and if you find you really can't talk at all now, also write down your request for them to call your GP or someone else) and go see a neighbour. Yeah, they may look at you oddly, but who cares.

If you go to a school, then go to that school on Monday morning with the same request. Right to the secretary or principals office. They must help you.

If you got a job, go see your boss with the same request.

Have it all written down so you can pass them the paper in case your speech leaves you right there.

No giving up before you tried hard, you know.

Do not do anything stupid,

I do not know you but I would rather that you do not take an overdose, if you are in a warm place. I guess Auz is quite warm right now then you should be able to avoid death due to cold for a day even if your folks kick you out right now. Even if you can not get food, you should be able to manage for a day if you can get water.

Try to have some food just before you leave the house if you do get sent on your way.

Then on monday morning when the doctors office opens you could go and see your GP or some other health care professional.

If you do find yourself sleeping rough then wrap up and get a sheet of cardboard to act as a barrier between you and the cold ground under you. But it would be better if you went around to a friend's house for the rest of the weekend.

if you go to the police station, they will sort out calling housing people or mental health for you.
((big hugs)) I hope things get better for you soon

Why are your parents kicking you out? Did you do something wrong?
