Hello there,

It's my first post here, even though I've been reading and reading for several months ago, and 4 years ago too, when this site still didn't need a subscription to read the threads. I never wanted to write here, weirdly, my mind has always been like split between the horror of this morbidity and the strong willing to leave this pain. As if I was different and, even though I wanted so much to die, this site and writing here carried too much morbidity and was kinda comforting into no-action, it's strange.

Anyway, this day has arrived where, after 4-5 months where I wasn't there, trying to get things better, suddenly things push me back there, and I don't know exactly why I'm writing here, or who will read it, or will I only be read, but I am now on the edge.

To sum up, I'm 34 and have a borderline personality disorder. I've been depressed for many years, when I was younger without really realising it, then I had several episodes of huge depression, like the one I'm in since September 2022.
Been in psychiatric clinic 3 times, trying to get better, 1st time it helped, second not at all, and the 3d time, this last winter, didn't help me with depression, just helped me go down from a cannabis-induced-psychosis.

Please excuse me if I'm saying too much, and also for my English, as it's not my native language.
I made many attempts younger, 3 with meds, once I tried to jump off from my 3rd floor (I know it's stupid), another I tried to jump off from a 6 floors building that was in reconstruction, but I wasn't sure of the height and stayed panicking at the top.
When I realised that I couldn't ctb with medication (the cocktails of antidepressants, benzodiazepines and mood regulator weren't enough), I decided myself for hanging.

Some months ago I had find the perfect place, isolated, height sufficient, and when I go back there with my rope, my alcohol and a firm will to ctb, I realised the place was closed.

Since this time, even though I was trying to recover, and to forbid myself to think about it, I sometimes had this pulsions, that I tried to fight. But I was really trying to get better.

Today my perfect younger brother, his girlfriend and their daughter, my niece, came for lunch at home, and as often, my brother told me something like « shake yourself, there is people living much worst stuffs, you are so lucky Mommy and Daddy are there to welcome you, blah blah blah », and this came to a point of massive argument, me crying that he blame me for what I'm leaving, him screaming on my face that he is tired of having a sister in depression since 15 years and I should have listened to him and not smoke weed, that I should listen to him when he say something, that now that he was out of him because of me, he would punch me, etc etc. I don't have the words to describe the violence of it. I finished by saying « fuck you, stop seeing ourselves » and have been unable to stop crying since.
Then one hour later I cross him as I was going to the bathroom, he was stone after he finally smoked his first joint and said « oh I'm sorry, come on I just want you to be the one I know you can be, I love you and want your best, come with us and the baby ».
What to say, I was crying, facing him, I forced myself to go with them for a while and cried, looking at my father with his grand-daughter and thinking « soon I won't see them anymore ».

So again I hope this wasn't too long and if anybody did read me, thank you.

There is a bridge in front of my parents house, I'm pretty sure I can surely attach the rope and the bridge is around 4-5 meters from the ground, this would be enough for a long drop hanging. What do you think about it? With the special hanging nose, I still have the rope, just have to wait for the night to come and not disturb my neighbours.

Thank you again, if you are reading me.

Hey @despair88 I'm glad you finally posted. BPD is tough to live with-I know there are some others on here with it who I'm sure will be happy to talk to you about it if you want.

I think your brother handled that badly, I guess if he has never had depression he doesn't know what to say except "there are so many worse off than you" etc. I HATE that. I think maybe you just need a bit of time to calm down from this though-not surprising you are pretty shaken up by this argument, especially if it involved actual physical violence or threats? I've had similar with my brother, I don't speak to him now, I don't want anything to do with any guy that is gonna threaten or abuse their sister (or brother for that matter). People will support you here if you want, there is no judgement. Sorry I can't help you with methods but if you wanna chat or need someone to listen I'm around.

And btw your English is very good!

Before you go, I'll need you to realize your not alone suffering in this cursed world. I am too.
Just remember this beautiful quote from Monty Python: "Life's a piece of shit, when you look at it, life's a laugh and death's a joke it's true."
Life REALLY IS a piece of shit, and is a joke, he's really right lol. It's really nice when you find a song lyric that exactly describes what your going through.

Hello @betternever2havbeen

Thanks a lot for your reading, your answer and your understanding. As you said, I am bloody shocked by this argument, mostly it was with my parents and they didn't interrupt him, but at the opposite justified his (my brother) own difficulties to see his older sister « that he did so admire » and « you have to understand it's not easy for him » blah blah blah. But you're totally right, he's never been through depression.

And you're totally right also in the fact that I should let some time to calm down, point is it seems my life is only made of shocks, crisis, depression, then -I don't know by what mean- I hold up to some hope it gets better, I fight, maybe because of survival instinct, eventually I get better then BAM, even the littlest argument or speech that hurts me upset every little frame I had patiently and hardly build.

When I'm not in depression, I succeed to not let thoughts of suicide surrounding me, but now, it seems my entire life is a battlefield full of corpses, and, looking back to it, I see only emptiness and absolutely no hope.

I'm tired to fight, tired to have nothing that brings me joy, by the way I'm surprised when I see people here speaking of music they listen, I used to be a musician when I was younger, and still recently, before the last autumn, i used to listen music every time, this last months I don't even have the desire for it.

Right, maybe people here are not all this depressed, thanks for them, and still they have the right to be there.

To sum it up, yes I don't see any hope anymore, because even though just some days before I was holding to the idea of getting better, I do see objectively that most of my life is full of nothingness, times spend trying to get better, times in the dark, thinking only about leaving this world, and I don't think this is a way of living.

I know there is a lot of people living much worsts stuffs, and I really don't like to complain on myself, God knows I tried.

Now I don't want to be a weight anymore for my family, I know they love me and I hope it won't hurts them too much.

Funny fact, yesterday I took 4 pills of benzodiazepines to calm down, even though I was so bad I hadn't the courage to go to the bridge, today it seems easier, seems like I am more disconnected.
I hope I'll find the courage to end it up tonight, I will right now post a new method thread about long-drop hanging.

Thanks to all of you who red me and answered me.

Hello @wwww

I am really sorry to read that you are feeling this bad too. I do realise, of course, I'm not the only one feeling like this, I wish things would be different. But I do know of course many people, unfortunately, go through hell also, there wouldn't be so much suicide if not.

And about the Monthy Pythons, I used to love them so much, fact is in this song (and in most of their productions) they have this irony and distance that shows they aren't hurt by this « peace of shit life », or they couldn't sing it.

I don't know your story or why you're there but I wish you peace and comfort.

Hello @dianxia,
And thank you for your answer.
I get the idea, but the point is, if I was in peace, I wouldn't want to go..
And this argument is just the trigger, if you read it well, I have several years of tough depression (I mean this kind of where you can't even go out from your bed, where seeing a friend doesn't mean anything to you… the hard one, according to psychiatrist) and I have this willing since a looong time. I did fight against it for many years after trying a bunch of times, but now I am over.

Hanging doesn't sound like the best option in my opinion.I would suggest you to look into methods like CO .It is more reliable and peaceful.
You can also look at amitriptyline thread.It would be available as well.If you have any questions about these two methods then feel free to ask.

@painful existence
I thought about long drop hanging because there's no chance of failure.
About the amitryptiline, I don't have enough for it, I live in France and it's not possible to have anything sure without a medical prescription. And seeing the amount it need to ctb, I can say it's not possible here.
And for CO, I don't have a driver's license so it's not an option, also it doesn't seem a certain method.

Your parents are in a tough spot but you're the one who is depressed and they should be worried about how you feel not the effect it has on your brother! I mean sure they can say that in private, a lot of us know we are not always easy for family to be around, but making us feel even more guilty is not going to help. It's not your fault you have depression and BPD.

I also get upset over things-I'm very oversensitive and I've also considered if I may have BPD (amongst other things) any little argument (even online) seems like the end of the world. But of course you are upset this time over your brother's behaviour, rightly. He did apologise but only you know how bad his behaviour was and whether he deserves forgiveness or not. Although it sounds like he was acting aggressively and scaring you which is not good. If he's not understanding and making you feel worse you don't have to speak to him anymore. Are your parents usually supportive?

I enjoy music too-it's basically the ONLY thing I enjoy about life right now. I also play some instruments (I can't really call myself a musician since I always sucked at playing anything lol) but if you ever wanna talk music that'd be cool. You should definitely get back into playing if you can. I stopped for a bit as well, but I should give it a go again. It's a good distraction and makes you feel better about yourself (if you're a decent enough player anyway!) I'm also similar age to you so if you wanna chat about anything feel free.

In my experience this is a wonderful place to get empathy and kindness and be able to calm down a bit after a harsh encounter with the "real world" and it's inhabitants! :heart:
