How do you feel that life has gotten so bad that you are on a suicide forum? Personally, I hate wrestling with my past demons, mental illness, lost loved ones and a life that went (and probably isn't going to improve much) nowhere. I am not only sad for myself but I am also sad for all you great people. None of us deserve this messed up life. We deserve better.

Honestly, I have been like this most of my life. Long before this forum and before the internet, at least the way it is now. Difference now is I lost the one thing that kept me alive this long and I am desperately trying to get it back. In the meantime, yeah, it sucks that I am actually discussing my shitty life on a forum like this, but, at the same time, imagine being in your same situation WITHOUT this forum. That would be a lot more difficult because you would be on your own completely. At least here are people who understand and people actually do get better here. Sometimes being here actually helps people. So I agree, but I disagree simultaneously.

Unfortunately I've become too callused to care anymore. I was once happy, energetic, high on life and always looking forward to what's next. The brightness in my eyes began fading in 2001. Now I have no love or energy for life or this world we live in. I'm hollow; and the thought of death is all that brings me temporary mental relief.

I hate life. I hate life so, so much. I love this forum, but the fact that I'm here shows that I can't stand being alive anymore. I just want to kill myself without anyone stopping me. Too bad I'm surrounded by a Catholic pro-life family. This family is both a curse and a blessing. They love me unconditionally, but this love is stopping me to CTB. This hindrance is torturing me alive. This love is ironically torturing me alive. I want a family who respect my decision to CTB. A kind of type that will only stop me through words, not action, to stop me from suicide. Knowing my family, they will call the goddamn PSYC Ward on me once they find me attempting suicide.

I want them to understand that I'm in unbearable pain. My future is already ruined in ways they can't even imagine. I have depression, life-long anxiety, socially awkward, slow and a dumbass. To be frank, I don't know why they keep me around. They want a man-child in their home forever? Last time I accidentally revealed that I was suicidal, they told me that they failed as a parent if one of their children died by suicide. In my head, they were doing everything right, they have no fault in this. They raised me as best as they can and sacrificed everything: money, status, career, time, etc. But I just want to die. I want them to respect that. I want to buy N or SN without them physically stopping me.

I want to repay my financial and personal debt to them, but then again, I didn't choose to be born. As a Filipino Catholic, I'm expected to take care of them in their retirement until their natural death. I want to do that, I really do, but since my future is going downhill and I am going to be a liability to them, a disgrace and a burden. I might as well cut ties by CTB, but that is hard to do when they're always checking up on me because I have been looking quite depressed lately.

I really can't stay like this. I don't know how much longer I can stay like this. If I tell them that I'm suicidal including the reasons, my dad may suffer heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, or any stress-related disease or illnesses. My mom wouldn't be able to handle this logically once I reveal this. If I die by suicide, they will be both in deep, unrecoverable depression, which they don't deserve. I'm trapped. I'm such a shitty son. I don't know how to proceed this life with these kinds of problems. I'm sure as fuck that I will not be able to fit in in this society, or become a productive member of the workforce as expected to immigrants. I'm such a disgrace to my family and to immigrants who worked so hard.

Yeah, I have it better than most of you guys. Some of you have bigger problems with no emotional support whatsoever. I get it. It just shows just how much of a crappy son I am who has lived a privileged life and fortunate enough to be born to perfect parents. I hate myself so fucking much. There is no one to blame but myself. Why was I even born at all?

I have mixed feelings as regards this topic.

On the one hand, I think it's quite sad that I became so depressed that I had to think about suicide and look for ways to die until I finally ended up here.

On the other, ending up on SS has changed my life and I've been feeling better since I became more active on the forums.

I've had terrible experiences with therapy and being honest with normal people about my suicidal thoughts.

Then, I was judged and decided to become a loner because no one really understood how I felt.

However, I found YOU and things got better. I can finally be helped and understood by people who know the hell I'm going through and I can do my best to help them too! :)

Not particularly sad about where I'm at anymore. Seems apt that things should be the way they are, both for me and the world generally. And I've learnt some acceptance over the years which helps.

Yes, I'm very sad that it had come to this at this point in time. My story is especially sad because I thought I made it through the worst of it only to get to the other side and it being even worse than before. There is no hope in my situation.

I can't forget what happened to me. In fact, I never recovered. I simply stop caring about everything aroumd me. I'm not sad anymore. I feel frustrated, dissapointed and emotionally unstable. I've been suicidal for years. I can't CTB eight now, but I hope that in the near future i'll do it without hesitation. Then i'll become an statistic.

Yeah.
Let's be honest, being age 16-25...(maybe a tad longer) these days are the prime times to enjoy yourself, growing, having fun without limits or whatnot.

, I'm nearing the end of that stage, I'm growing older and realising that I've missed out on stuff. Sure I've had some crazy good memories, but Times are getting worse, socially, economically etc.

So yeah, kinda wish I wasn't here when I'm reflecting on stuff but...kinda wish I prolonged my yolo good days for a few more years.

Sad how I used to never be on my phone, always out and socialising. Now I'm spending more and more time thinking about suicide and planning on doing so

Yes, but it was always going to be like this.

How I am as a person cannot be changed. It was inevitable that I would end up like this at one point. I have such limited mental reserves like a small child or an old man, nothing in-between.

I hate that. I tried many things to change it : proper diet, exercise in gym, medication, long walks, journal writing, religion.

But nothing helped, I remain as weak internally as I ever was. Only the outer behaviour has changed because I have physically aged, but internally I am still 15 years old or 65 years old. Nothing in between.

My brain just doesn't have the capacity for growth. And I keep on struggling every day, because so far my biological preservation has stopped me from offing myself.

I wish I had anywhere else to be. I just have nothing left. At this point, I've gone through the stages of grief several times. Everyday I hope that something will change and grant me a second chance, but I know it's not coming. At least here I can be honest, I share the same goal with many people here.

I lost the ability to feel sad or lonely. I have these feelings maybe once or twice a year when something big triggers it.
Now my emotional repertoire only includes anger, frustration and stress. But if I were able to feel sadness, I'd probably cry my eyes out.

Most of the time not I just feel numb. I only get teary and sad when I see things like videos of me as a child that my mum still has and looking at myself in them, I feel like I failed that kid and it makes me feel guilty. If I think about myself too much it will just make me feel worse so it is best to avoid that. Posting on a suicide forum while other people I knew are getting on with their careers, getting married or even having kids of their own, how fucking pathetic.

What's mostly sad to me is the wasted potential. I was such a happy child, had everything that could have led to a happy life. But instead, I got mentally ill and my life has been on a steady decline ever since, ultimately leading me here.

Like some other users, now I'm mostly quite numb about it. It is what it is. All I can do is take in the situation as it is and decide my course of action.

It was always inevitable from the start. I don't think my mind was ever suited for this life and I have always just felt empty. Now with chronic illness my mind and body are tired. I do wish things could change just so I don't have to think of ctb all the time but if there was an suicide pill I would gladly take it. I just see life as pointless in the end anyway.

Yes,I battled depression ten years ago and did everything I could to get through it. I thought I was better and three months ago I was incredibly happy before everything came crashing down again.

I really need to make a decision and stick to it soon because I cant go on living like this every day.
