    Depressive/suicidal Aspies

    @poey <3 The list is pretty damn long when I get down to it. @Laura Sad music! I think it can be helpful to remember that other people have been here too and have come out of it. (On the other hand, it doesn't help at all to listen to sad music by people who have actually committed suicide. I...

    Depressive/suicidal Aspies

    @Dragon's Tooth: That sounds a lot like me, actually. Sewing, knitting, typing, drawing takes most of my focus and keeps me from thinking about other things. When I'm suicidal, I like to list the names of people who would be affected by my death. The logic helps. I may want to die, but...

    What helps you get through the hard days? (I'm thinking other than meds or therapy.)

    Clothes - Do you like to wear the same outfit?

    I didn't realize this might be an Aspie trait! I recently started working retail, and I really like wearing a uniform. I prefer to wear the same clothes at least two days in a row (changing underwear of course -- I had to train myself). I also have three favorite shirts that I rotate wearing...

    what is your stim?

    *gathers a breath* - talking/muttering to myself - fussing incessantly with clothing/accessories (pulling up/adjusting pants, smoothing shirt, tugging at collar, twisting watch, poking at earrings). Oddly, I don't mess with my glasses! - picking/scratching to bleeding or bruising point. I...

    I am a 27-year-old cis queer woman who had never until very recently even considered that I might be aspie, or at least on the Autistic spectrum. My brother was diagnosed when we were in our teens, and because of his extreme behavior and suicide attempts, I was overlooked as the 'easy' child. I...
