Existence itself hurts so much. For me, just the pain of merely living fucks my brain up so much. I don't know why this is but that remains as the truth. Even I don't do anything or aren't at the risk of anything, I still feel so much mental pain. It's so exhausting and irritating. I truly have no idea how I'm supposed to go through life or how I'm expected to live until old age. Oh wait, I guess the latter isn't true as the average life expectancy for autistic people is significantly lower but, nonetheless, I'm just in too much pain to do anything. I just wish for some peace and tranquility but I can never get that for as long as I'm alive. I thought that finally having a way out of here would give me peace and, in some respects, it does but it also makes being alive hurt so much more.
It honestly feels like life is a extremely long nightmare and I don't mean that as a hyperbole or as a metaphor. I genuinely mean that it's a nightmare. I know that there are people who are suffering far worse than me and are able to deal with life but I'm not one of those people. I'm not. I can't deal with life. I'm too weak for life. I'm too tired for life. I don't have it in me to push through life any longer. I even stopped revising for my university exams because of how overwhelming all of it is. I don't think that I'm weak for giving up. I don't think that I'm pathetic for giving up. I've been through so much shit already so I deserve my peace. I just want my torment to end and I know that it can't end if I were to continue living unless if I didn't have to worry about anything in life such as work, university, responsibilities, chronic pain, old age, opportunities to suffer horrifically etc. If these things were guaranteed to not happen to me, I'd choose to live through life but reality is not that generous.
I can only be at peace once I'm dead because there is no longer any "me" since the brain is switched off. Existence can never grant me the peace that I'm looking for. I do feel happiness from small moments and whatever but it doesn't outweigh the torment and suffering that I go through from merely living. I just want to sleep permanently and be done with it. I want the nightmare to end
