scale of -10 to +10, how do you feel right now?

Oh no...what's going on?

I tried to help. I failed. I am starting to understand now why so many people were distancing themselves from me

One cannot win with a deeply depressed aspie

I have nothing against you. I just have accepted reality and am not happy about it. But can’t fight reality. I tried for years but it’s pointless. Grateful you cared about me. It’s just I was usually super positive and playful and stuff and it never helped change women’s minds

Remember what I said....sometimes, people just have to find out for themselves.

It's not like conducting-----where you can get the sweet music you want.

I know it's frustrating. You want to help.

Nothing to find out

But there is, Sly. You just don't know it, yet.

-5 for exhaustion and anxiety
+5 because I'm grateful to stay in bed and deal with it

Therefore, 0?

Today, I am having one of these days of exhaustion and anxiety as well, combined with the facts that i could release some anger at the gym and my job is going pretty well at the moment.
I am really starting to love working with the aspies . Makes the work environment acceptable, because we understand each other without having to verbally communicate!

So, i would give it a solid 2

A fun -5.

I recently just lost my truck upstate and cannot get it back down. The driveshaft dropped out.
Thanks to this, I just haven't been myself lately. At all. I'm unproductive and depressed. Fun.

I am sorry to read this

8

-10 Seems like no place and nothing can help me with my depression/self-harm. This most recent place refuses to even try because I mentioned that I'm on the autism spectrum

What was their reasoning?

Hugs I’m here to pm if you want
I liked our conversations

That was their only reasoning - they just said they couldn't take me because I'm on the autism spectrum.

Big dragon hugs back to you. I'm open to PMs as well but don't really know what to say at the moment. Also I'm not sure if I may be going back for another week-ish (probably) hospital stay sometime within the next few days, but I'll reply to PMs as soon as I can.

Hospital discharge should include connecting you with a place that WILL work on depression with an autistic person. If you do go back in, make sure you express what a problem you have had (while doing the right things) and ask them to help you find an appropriate connection. You might also call the hospital now and explain what is going on, and ask for help finding an outpatient treatment place.

I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you for the advice and well-wishes. My parents are looking at a list or two of places our insurance will cover, trying to find something that might be a good fit for me. But a lot of the places that work with people on the spectrum are really for people who are significantly lower-functioning than me and wouldn't be set up to help me thrive. It's important for places I may be working with to know I'm autistic, but it's really just the depression and self-harm I need help with right now - which just makes that rejection all the more frustrating.
