Can you eternalize mental illness?

[Reed]

My mom says I do and, that I've done it in the past the voices happened after the beach boys movie and, a little bit beforehand too but I think it triggered them to get worse it happens every day sometimes I hear screams in my headphones once for 3 minutes straight. I'm also depressed because we had a long talk about me not making steps toward becoming an adult like me not getting a license I'm pretty much broke I'm inside my room most of the time. I hate being autistic and, depressed I dunno whats stopping me well I guess me but I dunno why I guess I'm a bad adult I suppose.

There is no such thing as a bad adult, just someone who thinks negative thoughts. And you are not broke. Can you see that it's a habit of thinking in this way that is causing the problem? Being autistic is not easy to cope with. I imagine you are having some sort of medical care. I don't know where you live, but in the UK there is a lot of help that can be had for autism. You are depressed because you are maybe frustrated that you can't seem to get well or do what others do. I hope you get more posts from others who may have suffered in this way. I have counselled those with autism, but I am by no means an expert on the subject. Professional help is needed, and I hope you are getting it. Going it alone is not an option.
