Should be gone long ago
Im 49F, wishing to be gone. I feel like there is no reason to be here anymore. It’s not that there are no people I care about. Im surprised Ive made it this far. I think most people would have definitely ended it if they had endured my life so far. So the specific reasons I want to prematurely end my life is because of being neurodivergent because it has significantly impaired me and continues to. I think I also have complex ptsd. I went my entire life not realizing that im autistic but the struggle has been there all along I just lived in denial and tried to just survive.
I’m at a point where I feel like I’m really out of options. I can’t stay where I’am, can’t afford my own place. Im not sure I have the mental capacity or endurance to get on SSI. Im working part time right now because that is all I could manage and even that is difficult and im in danger of being let go due to the autism/adhd. There are other reasons I’d like to be gone but it’s too difficult and dark to even talk about. Just past things I’m living with which haunt me. If I had to really say the main problem that pushes me to end it is just not being able to afford to live comfortably.
I hope I find a way to go that works. It was surprisingly hard to write all this out. Trying to express feelings publicly. One thing that is sad is there will be maybe one person who might have any feeling about me passing. A sibling I barely know. It will be like I never existed. That’s how little effect Ive had being here. I produced no children. I never married. I was never successful in any of the usual ways most people typically experience. So I feel like my life has largely been like I was alive but not actually.
