Sometimes I feel that my life is like a really bad serial. The kind where every week something even more dramatic and unbelievable happens. The kind where you roll your eyes and think "who can possibly make this stuff up?"
But it would be a really depressing book, nothing anybody wants to read about.

I don't think my life is exotic or sensational. Simply lots of things things I've been through have also been unique. I don't really know people who went through what I did. Especially all the feelings and struggle of growing up as autistic but being in a regular school and learning and this challenge of being normal like everyone else.
I don't think many people have felt like killing themselves because they just want to feel normal. Cuz they just want to get it right. And every step of the way as a teen I kept getting it wrong. People were hurt or offended and I felt like if I'm just hurting people I'm a burden onto the world and society and so is anyone with a disability or special needs.
That's a little bit of my complex feelings and challenges. |

For sure. I always think about it. I’ve had an interesting life and I’m a decent writer. Alas, I haven’t the discipline needed though.

Seems like a very different experience from mine. Women are very different when it comes to Autism and understand relationships a lot more. Its a different struggle completely. Especially when it comes with being frum and shidduchim

I have started a few times. But never get far as I would never use my real name or those in my family. And it might hurt some people to see themselves in a book. But I definitely have what to write.

In a thread about secrets, I wrote a post anon, because it was very sensitive. I was called a troll, told I was making things up, it couldn't possibly happen, and someone even straight out called me a liar. That hurt SO bad, that there's still a lot I keep inside. I'm definitely more cautious now.
There are things in my life that have given me PTSD. I have nightmares, I have panic attacks, I get triggered and have to calm myself down. If I had to write it all out, edit it, rewrite it, double check it - I think that all that remembering would not be good for my mental health.
I've fought way to hard to get to where I am now. If that means burying a memory or two instead of "dealing with it", then I'm perfectly fine with that. The stress of bringing all that back up could make my health issues flare as well, and I just can't afford to risk a setback if I can at all afford it. It's just not worth it.

I have a dream to write about my long marriage to an abusive husband, the years long divorce process, receiving the Get and BH the happy ending.
No one would guess (except my dc) it's me so privacy is not an issue. According to all, I was abusive to xh, crazy mother to my kids, alienated the kids, I caused the divorce to be high conflict, and once divorced I'm endlessly sad and depressed...

So that was the debate. I don't think I can, and I don't think I'm unique in that way. Maybe a Lifelines story or 2, but otherwise as interesting as I think my life has been, I don't think it would strike others as particularly remarkable. I couldn't imagine I'm the only one, so I came here to ask.

I have must of my book written, just from the last few years with the whole weight loss thing. I’ve been asked a LOT to write one. Maybe after school this year.

My story is still happening. Had/have a lot of hair raising stuff in my life that would read as fiction. People would probably not believe all my stories. I've been called drama queen on this site already. Irl I try to put up a huge smile & mask everything. B'h we had many kisses from Above as well. We try to see the light from Hashem, to get thru.

Never trust all the happy masks you see roaming in the world. You never know their stories.
Mine would put you on a rollercoaster.

I could and already want to at the age of 25. I think there's a lot people can learn from it. The issue is that I would not want to hurt my family.

I could write a book about parts of my life. I sort of did self publish one as a teen.
But my life wouldn't make a very interesting novel, particularly probably. Short stories (as others have said) are a better idea.
