These past several weeks, I've been more active in researching for ways to CTB and even playing out the scenarios in my head of how my CTB would like. In my whole life, I've never been like. Sure, I was depressed from time to time, not suicidal depressed but occasionally depressed. This was until this past year when I suffered a perfect storm of illnesses: fibula fracture (I wouldn't consider this bad really since I pretty much recovered from it), post-acute withdrawal syndrome (e.g. insomnia, appetite loss, muscle twitches), and oral cancer (e.g. Actinic Cheilitis, possible tongue cancer as well from leukoplakias).

I do want to be free from the illnesses and I think a portion of people on here could relate, especially if they have chronic or terminal illnesses. But, I don't know why, recently at a subconscious level I have this deep-rooted feeling of "what am I doing here?" or "is this even real?" Like I feel a sense of dread by even finding delight in finding 'the' method and researching for ways to CTB.

Does anyone feel like this? I guess some of you do since we're all human and some of us have similar threads that led us here. My life has been stolen when it was starting to look up and things were going swell for the first time in my life. I feel like I'm in a simulation.

I feel like I'm in a simulation going crazy all the time. Does it mean that I'm schizophrenic? Is anybody listening? Is this thing on???

Yes. Much different situation but I finally figured out who I wanted to be when my company was sold. It was the one thing that couldn't happen. It's ruined me. Completely. I was making progress. I was on a path.
Sometimes it doesn't seem real. I made too many mistakes, but also some bad luck. It's mostly on me.
But no it sort of doesn't seem real

Sorry to hear what happened to you. I guess the context is different but the story is the same. I used to be more of existentialist and determinist, but now I'm feeling more fatalist. I think there were things that were just beyond my control and certain things had to happen for whatever unknown reason. Like the choices that I made weren't really choices, they were just there for me to execute in a narrative I was supposed to follow. I just can't take accountability for some of my choices because I feel like they happened in under a year (feels like some external force is at play) when everything was going really swell for me for the first time in my life.

I can relate to that. By nature I'm an overly anxious person, but now my anxieties have become manifest realities. I do have a support system though of people that believe in me, but I'm in fear now of losing that system.

Yeah I feel the same way. I don't feel like I'm supposed to be here. I don't belong here
