If anyone else is alone on Thanksgiving and wants someone to talk to then send me a message or leave a comment. For some reason these special days on the calendar can make loneliness worse. I have suffered through depression and know how hard it can be. Don't be afraid to reach out if you need to, whether to me or someone else you trust. Even if you are used to being alone the holidays can be tough, so don't be shy. Comment, send a message, or contact someone you know if the loneliness is too much.

What I've always dreamed of is every house on my estate becomes empty !so I effectively own all the land and when I look out of the window it will just be empty houses and trees and quiet !wonderful quiet ,nobody repairing cars ,screaming children putting up with selfish neighbours

I still try and visualise it I open the window and close my eyes and imagine trees as far as the eye can see. I like to be out in the street after about 11 o'clock at night ,A large percentage of the time it's gone completely silent , can't stand out side for long but it feels like my world .
 
Loneliness can be a rough thing to deal with. I think aspies may be at an advantage as we are better equipped to be alone than most. I have spent Christmas alone before. My ex (who was abusive and I hated) went to her parents house the day before and got very sick and was bed bound. On one hand I would have liked to have been with my family who live far away. On the other I felt blessed to not be under her oppressive rule for that day. Really it was just another day for me.

Happy Thanksgiving. I was tempted to say "American Thanksgiving." That would be a little nutty though as it is the original thanksgiving.

My step mom has pancreatic cancer and it has upgraded to stage 4 she is terminal and only has a few weeks left to live, this will be the final christmas she will live and shes gone, how the hell am I going to have a happy holiday with a death in the family? I gave religion a final chance and prayed only to be betrayed, thanks god for stabbing me in the back again.

What amazed me was my mam still had faith even when she was four Stones and completely paralysed ,wasn't eating! but had more faith than me.
Talk to God ,God is not religion ,religion was created by people ,it's dead ,God is not dead God is alive be kind to yourself!!!!The intense part of autism could suck you dry , God doesn't stab you in the back but the thing is we don't trust him and he's a gentleman so he won't force himself on you .I thought what you thought ! it largely only changed for me after my mam died ! before she became ill she begged me to go to church as she couldn't help me .
One thing I wish I'd learned was how to be independent before she died how to take care of finances .
I still get angry!!!! forgiveness is still hard !!!!!but I forgive! if I can get rid of any pain !I will! so I forgive!
