ive wanted to not be alive since forever. i was bullied by my sister when i was young, like as young as 6yrs old that i can remember, and my parents never intervened. my dad only cared about his work and never bothered with us. my mum was distant, not that she didnt love us and take care of us, but rather like she couldnt be bothered, like shed given up. my dad also had a short fuse and was verbally and financially abusive towards our mum, full on coercive behaviour. he was, and still is, a racist and misogynist pig.

so back to wanting to ctb, when my sister bullied me, i remember myself crying and wishing that id never been born. that no one cared for me and why did they have me? they already had 2 other kids, why did they want a 3rd one? i would refuse my lunch or dinner and go without (early form of self harm i suppose) and i would try to strangle myself.

when my brother and a teacher started to sa me, i had nowhere to turn to. i thought that they wouldnt believe me, i couldnt imagine facing police and telling them, and my dad would just lose it, as he always did with everything. so i just put up with it...i have now found out the teachers address and i plan to pay him a visit...my brother has the sun shining out his ass, always has...if only people knew...bullshit its not all men, no man is safe as far as im concerned...

and when my grandfather murdered/shot his daughter (my aunt), i only got no more than the basics. no one asked me how i was feeling, no one explained anything. it has always been like that in the family, both my parents...im like, "hello, what the af is going on, do we not live in the same house or something???"

when i left home to go to uni, things started unravelling. away from the controlling pig my dad was, i started acting up. i went over this with ai chat and it said that whilst at home, my nervous system kinda shut down and went into survival mode. "keep your head low and get through this unscathed" kinda thing. so when i left that environment and i felt safe, it all started to unravel...

id get very angry, and i would get really worked up, where i would start shaking and crying...it wasnt long before i started wondering the streets at night, which led to getting stopped by the police, which led to confrontational behaviour on my part, which led to arrests. multiple, frequent arrests.

before long i started self harming. i would stand in front of oncoming trains and jump aside as last second as i could dare. and then i started cutting myself and smoking cannabis.

as i was known to police and they stopped me frequently, i also started getting in trouble for being in possession of offensive weapons (knives, broken bottles, razor blades). yet i only got probation. no referrals to psychiatrist or anything. i had no clue what help was available and how to ask for it. and i also just put up a wall of defiance and rebellion. although the cannabis helped me sleep, it also made my depression 1000 times worse.

i ended up taking 2 full packets/boxes of paracetamol. i didnt know it wouldnt work, i was hoping id go to sleep and never wake up. it didnt work, i got taken to hospital and put on iv drip. when i got out 3-4 days later, i was a complete mess. i was crying constantly, all day, and really angry i wasnt dead.

when i managed to cut the vein in my arm, on the inside of the elbow, where they usually take blood for tests, and the blood flowed like youd turned the tap on, at first i thought i should call an ambulance. but then i thought that this is what i wanted. i didnt pass out, but the next day i felt nauteous af and i was unable to do any strenous exercise without passing out for quite a while. i also ate carrots like crazy, whilst shoving my head in the washing machine and smelling the rubber on its door. i also wanted to chew on bus tyres (pica is a hell of a bitch).

i continued cutting myself and the trouble with police also continued (they once followed me into a supermarket where i went for my weekly shop for a pnc check...), whilst at the same time trying to hold onto a job (unsuccessful). id get a job, stay a few months, hate it/get bored, leave it, look for something else. having to make excuses at work as to why i didnt turn up because i was locked up or had to go to court was also a major problem...

but then i decided to push my luck further and not turn up for court (in addition to not turning up for probation appointments)...and though the courts didnt particularly care for the public order offences, when i got arrested again for offensive weapon, the cps requested i was remanded. first time round, my solicitor was able to get me conditional bail, pending the presentence reports. but the second time round, i got remanded...that was such a delightful experience...not...

i tried to strangle myself with my shoelaces within half an hour of being placed in the general population wing, so i was placed in the segregation unit. kept trying to harm myself, the screws tried to stop me, there would be scuffles/fights. i ended up being locked up nearly all day, being let out only by myself.

after the 3-4 weeks were up and i was taken to court, i would have received a custodial sentence, but my solicitor agreed with the cps that if i moved away and back to my parents place, the cps wouldnt object to a community based sentence. little did the courts know that my family was fucked up and not the best place for me, but i had no choice. it was the less worse scenario, so to speak.

so when i was released, i moved back with my parents and after a couple months, i got a golden retriever puppy, bella. she was my saviour. i had a reason to wake up in the morning, to stay out of trouble. we did everything together, she was smart af...and we spent 14.5yrs together. i had my ups and downs, but she was my constant. when i got covid in 2019, when people were dropping like flies, my first thought was "whos going to take care of bella if i go into hospital?" because by then she had liver cancer. i had to have her put to sleep a couple months later, 24 dec 2021. i still cry when i think of her, i cry if a sad song comes on the radio when im driving. she was my 1-in-a million pet, the one that stays with you forever.

i did adopt another puppy, ariel, shortly before bella crossed the rainbow bridge. shes a kangal mix, and i love her dearly, but bella was THE ONE.

recently, ive been feeling really bad. work is rapidly going down hill. the workload has increased, the pay is shit, my relationship with my father has completely broken down and i hardly speak to him, despite living in the same house. i cant afford to rent or get my own place. so im stuck...

i havent felt this bad in a very long time. and the "dark passenger" has come knocking persistently. my "dark passenger" (from the tv series dexter) is this feeling of anger/frustration that i get, where i want to royally fuck everything up. in the past i would let it take over, which would result in arrests etc, but now the risks are too great. its not easy anymore to jump from one job to the next. and i have ariel to take care of. so im trapped and ready to burst...

so ctb has been a lot on my mind lately and i have given it some serious thought. and i cant do it unfortunately. i look at ariel and i cant leave her. but, once summer is over and i can wear long sleeves, boy, am i going to dig into my arm with the sharpest razor i can get my hands on...am i gonna have a party...20 yrs worth of partying...cant wait

rant over...

I think its pretty appalling that after everything that has happened to you it seems like you haven't really had any sort of mental health help, just criminalisation...

I also understand why it would be so devastating to lose Bella, it sounds like she was your 'soul pet'. Pets (and animals generally) are truly the best part of life.

the dealings with police happened 20 years ago, so things were pretty dire. i was given 80hrs communtiy service for assault police and i had to work alongside a bunch of guys who had committed god knows what offences...very intimidating for a female. on one occasion, i overheard some guys discussing one of the female supervisors and how theyd like to have sex with her and that she was one of those who say no, but mean yes...i was livid...i went off to smoke some cannabis to calm down, a supervisor came looking for me, told me to get back to work. i said something racist about the guys and i was thrown off the site. when i told my probation officer what had happened, she just told me to keep my head down and complete the hours. from what i have been able to gather, sentencing guidelines have changed now and i really hope that somone with my issues would now receive proper help...

the help that pets can provide to people is underrated and i cant believe that it is not more widely recognised.😔

soooo, this is how my brain works and the trouble it gets me in. if i keep myself busy, im ok (sort of). but the moment i have a spare minute, off my brain goes doing its own thing, ruminating over stuff, getting me worked up. and if i later have to do something, its really hard to rein myself in.

as a result, weekends are difficult, holidays are impossible. i look forward to them, but dread them at the same time.

i look forward to them, because i dont have to work, but i dread them, because what the fuck am i gonna do to keep myself busy and not go down dark roads? i dont want to stay indoors, i want to go out, but where? and it aint fun by myself...

i cant take the dog hiking, because its too hot for her and im not gonna go by myself.

cycling i also enjoy, but ive cycled everywhere close by. theres nothing new left to explore and theres lots of hills here, so its really tiring and i cant do it everyday.

i have 2 weeks of holiday in front of me at the moment. havent started off very well...these thoughts just wont stay away...

I was reading the posts in your thread and I'm sorry for everything you've been through. I totally understand the anger and the frustration because I have it too, just from different reasons. I know what you mean about the dark passenger from Dexter (I love that show by the way), and sometimes I want to do and say things that could get me in trouble too. Luckily I've managed to avoid legal trouble for the most part, other than being sued by a bank over a loan.

Wish I knew what to say that could help you but I truly don't know.

ok, rant time...

reading this forum and thinking about how suicide and suicidal people are treated, i cant help but draw some parallels with homosexuality and lgbtq+.

* in the uk, suicide was illegal until 1961, homosexuality until 1967.

* in both cases, "outsiders" think that therapy and drugs are going to solve the issue

* both still face substantial stigma and criticism and many comments on social media that want to demean and harass people, call them gay and/or urge them to kill themselves (even when the person has neither "tendencies")

* although lgbtq+ individuals have finally been able to get their rights recognised on paper (for the time being), suicidal people are still treated ihumanely by the authorities (see how patients in psychiatric wards and suicidal offenders in custody are treated, and im not talking about serious cases of people hearing voices and hallucinating and being a danger to others). and thats just the so-called first world countries.

* suicidal people are not allowed to talk about their feelings openly on social media. they have to resort to specific forums, and even then they have to follow specific rules (here not so much, but other mental health forums...). lgbtq+ individuals are often verbally and physically attacked if they dare express themselves in public.

society has decided that people should look "abc" and act "xyz" and anyone who does otherwise is less than and their rights completely ignored.

i hate this world, i hate the cruelty in it, i distrust humans.

ok, new level of self harm unlocked...🤯

cutting my arm leaves massive open wound and scar, very visible, takes a long time to heal, prompts unwelcome questions.

on the other hand, if i insert a needle into a vein, pull the plunger and just let it flow, hardly any trace is left. the blood flow is less, but the wound is practically invisible (like when i give blood for tests), espcially if i dont constantly target the same area...👏

wish id thought of that before i messed up my arm...plus i wouldnt have had multiple arrests for possession of offensive weapon (used to cut myself). shoulda, woulda, coulda...

made the mistake of watching a youtube documentary on a womens prison in the uk. i try to avoid such videos, because they re so triggering for me...big mistake...when will it stop hurting? when will the anger subside? will it be with me for the rest of my life?

i self harm by cutting my arm. its always the same spot, on the inside of the elbow. i dont do it for the pain, i do it for the blood to flow - the more, the better. i have cut my vein in the past and that has always been my "goal", and i was happy of sorts, because it was something that was actually bad for me. i wanted that, i wanted to seriously injure myself on my own terms, to get back some sense of control, when everything has felt beyond my control 😤...

i didnt get help when i did cut my vein, i didnt want anyone to know. it was more of trying to prove to myself, but i dont know what exactly...

wish sasu had been around when i was desparate to ctb...the internet itself was in its infancy...not that im happy now, but somewhere in between i suppose. more of a self harm phase, not quite ctb. thats not to say i dont want to have the option available. in fact, having the option to ctb if things get too much is reassuring.

i ve been reading how authorities are trying to crack down on sasu. fuck you... its bodily autonomy, you cant force me to be miserable just so you can feel better about yourself... when the authorities stump out all the sex & porn sites promoting rape and all sorts of harm against children and women and actually believe and protect victims from predators, THEN i will be willing to put up with their bullshit that my wellbeing is their piority. until then, FUCK YOU...

excuse my french, im so angry...

ive been on annual leave for 1.5 weeks now and ive managed to keep myself busy and not ponder on things, resetting my nervous system. and then yesterday, i got reminded why i hate everything so much. i got a message from a colleague asking me to check a file shed prepared, cause they had a meeting today... no, fuck you... im on holiday... just because i havent gone anywhere, doesnt mean im on standby for your shit. and today my supervisor asked her to tell me to preprare a report and email it out today. again, FUCK YOU... not everyone is a neurotic workaholic like you... the fucking report doesnt even matter, no one looks at it, no one cares if its sent or not. i dont get paid near enough to be on standby on my annual leave. i hate my job, its shit, my supervisor is insufferable... and now i remember why i signed up on sasu. gone from 0 to 60 in 2 seconds flat... i dont know how im going to manage when i have to go back to work next week. ive been trying to not think about it, but now its come to the forefront full force. i just want to smash everything up, i cant take this. and the end of the year is the worst. shitloads to prepare, expected to bend over backwards for everyone else, but everyone else does fuck all. dont even get days off for xmas, have to work on 31st of december. fuck this shit, ive been doing it for 18 yrs for peanuts. i do wish i was dead. i do wish i had the guts to kill myself. i dont want any of this shit anymore. i got nothing to look forward to. life isnt going to get any better at 46.i jsut want to scream at the top of my lungs... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHH 🤬💣💩☠️😡😭

the brutal truth...

when things started to unravel, id be wondering around at night trying to tire myself out, so i could go to sleep, trying to calm myself down. id get worked up to the point i was shaking and crying and wanting to smash something up...

getting arrested started off by me reacting to the police stopping me when i was in this state, but then it got to the point where i actually sought out the confrontation with the police. it didnt take much to bait them: crossing the street, legging it, looking at parked cars or changing direction - it was all enough to get them suspicious and try to stop me and then it would all kick off...

i didnt want to get in a random fight and hurt anyone else, so i directed my anger at what could be considered the ultimate portrayal of control and authority - everything i hated...

i sought out the adrenaline, the confrontation, the fight. i did not enjoy being locked up, i did not enjoy being on probation, i did not enjoy going to court.

and when i started cutting myself and smoking cannabis, it only got worse. because now the police actually had more serious offences to arrest me for, which just made me resent them even more.

and i ended up getting stopped at random times, not just when i was looking for it, because the police knew i would either have something on me i shouldnt have, or i was wanted, or i was in breach of some condition or order... or if the police werent suspicious of me, i got jittery, because i knew i had something to hide... and that just added to everything else...

i guess play with fire, get burnt...

but i miss not giving a flying fuck. i dont miss the consequences, not by a long shot, but i miss being able to "express" myself. bottling things up because i will get in trouble otherwise... how do i deal with this??? what do i do??? i fucking hate my life 💩😭🤬🥵🤯😥
