Hey guys,

I know many of you may not know me around here because I don't post often, but anyways I've been depressed for 4 1/2 years now. It's because a few people whom I thought were my friends decided to "betray" me by saying they didn't want to be friends with me anymore. Now to any normal person they'd be like "who needs you anyway" and go about their business, but I'm different because of my Autism, so I take things differently than "normal" people do. That's only where my depression starts it gets a lot worse. I have never gotten along with my father as he is very abusive when he is angry he has thrown knives, 2 Liter Pepsi bottles and even one of my dogs at me, and he is known to lie to people and it was only a matter of time that he started it with me. Last year he promised to send me money for Christmas and he never did, so I sent him a message on Facebook asking him what the hold-up was, and he said that he was never planning on sending it anyway, so I then decided to stop communicating with him for good and for the first few months I was alright with it, but now I really regret it because I can never apologize to him because he told my mother & grandfather that he never wanted to speak to me again. I've never really had friends because most everyone thought that I was weird, and the friend betrayals that happened during my Freshmen year of High School didn't help any. I was scared of making friends because I was afraid that they'd betray me like the 2 did my Freshmen year. Many people say that the friends I do have only are friends with me because they feel sorry for me, and I don't think that's true at all. In these last 4 years I've really thought of suicide as I have felt that everyone would be happier if I was dead. I've had it rough, but I just try to take things day by day.

That sounds really rough, sorry you've had to deal with that. I know what it's like to deal with abusive fathers, but luckily mine has worked past his issues and is caring and loving now. Unfortnately, it's up to your dad to change his ways; you can't control him. But you can control yourself. First of all, get rid of the suicidal thougts. That won't make anything better, and just ruin the lives of your family and friends. And I'm speaking from experience with my four attempts, it does no good. Secondly, join a club or team! Make new friends and develop those you have now. If you ever need to talk, I'm here.

Im sorry to hear that :(

And i know how you feel. I suffer from depression.
The only wonderful relationship i have is with my boyfriend because he understands me. Ive gave up trying to be the best person i can be for my friends and my family, but like you said yourself, they turn on you.
I have finished my relationship with my father because he has never been there for me when somehow i felt the need to be there for him. I have tried to help him with his alcohol problems, but ever since i asked him the question on the phone 'pick either dad.Alcohol or me?' and he said alcohol.I dont have a relationship with his mother or his father, so i have no grandparents there. My mum finished all contact with are family because of a petty little argument.I was really close to my mum's mother, but i cannot talk to her at all..i really miss her.

But you have to look forward. Everyday i get out the house to be with my boyfriend because me and my mum constantly argue and she puts me in a bad mood.
I have been suicidal but look at it another way. Why kill yourself, when it wont change anything?

Whenever im very angry i find something to calm me down. write down how you feel, listen to music, call someone...

Im really sorry about how you feel at the moment..i wish you luck with your future :) xx
