Blew off my face last year in an attempted suicide

[N7_Alliance_Marine]

I couldn't handle getting rejected by women anymore. I had to accept that being ugly, unironically autistic, physically disabled due to spinal problems, and being a NEET is a death sentence for my genes.

I tried to kill myself last year but screwed it up and blew off part of my face. I really hate looking at my fat disfigured face in the mirror now. As much as I am angry about women not liking me, there's part of me that doesn't blame them for not wanting to look at me. Especially with the way I look now.

At this point the best solution is to just kill myself. Video games only work as a cope for so long.

God, this is awful - I am so, so sorry. Can you provide more details, as gun is one of my top options? Did you put it under your chin, temple? What type of gun - caliber, etc?

It was a glock 17 firing a 9x19. I put it in my mouth, pointed towards the cranial, then snatched the trigger at the last second missing the brain.

Oh god that must feel so terrible to lose a part of ur face I wonder how did u survive I thought gun is almost guaranteed way to go

It missed the brain.

You were actually able to get a 9MM inside your mouth (I tried but they don't fit)? But instead of it pointed in the back towards the medulla oblongata, the gun came forward out of your mouth and just hit part of your face? Trying to understand. Again, I'm so sorry. This is one of my worst nightmares - I have a .357 revolver and was going to put into mouth, pointed back towards the medulla oblongata. I'm very concerned now. Are you ok otherwise? Functionally?

Fuck, what an awful thing. I'm really sorry.

This is a lame suggestion, and I feel like an arsehole for making it, but it occurred to me and I want to share it in case it helps, no matter how low are the chances of this actually being helpful. Please forgive me if I'm out of line.

Maybe you could get the world's most amazing fursuit and try to bang furry girls (they DO exist, contrary to popular belief). Or cosplay with masks - Halo Master Chief suit?

I don't know if your spinal problems would affect you in this. It just seems like something that has a chance to change the equation somewhat, and maybe let you have some fun, which I think you deserve.

I read this today. Maybe you can relate, get some meaning from it. I don't know if it's too much to handle, emotionally speaking. But I'll leave it here just in case it helps somehow:

Cosmetic surgery fuels the fallacy that looks bring happiness. But what is it like to live with a striking visible difference? The star of a new film about the subject shares his real-life experiences

Wishing you luck N7.

I"m so sorry this happened to you, damn. Thanks for letting us know your story. There are several such cases where the victims got a "face transplant", I think aim is more important than people think.

I hope you find peace in whatever you decide in the future.

im so incredibly sorry

I'm so sorry, I hope you find peace

Holy fuck. If you don't mind me asking - do you remember all of it, or did you black out after the shot?

My gosh, this is my worst nightmare. If I were to ctb -- circumstances are different for me now than when I joined -- gunshot was my method of choice. Still is. Like others, I have questions, and do very much appreciate your willingness to share your experience, but if mine are a bridge too far do not hesitate to let me know you are uncomfortable answering. I will not be offended.

That said, do you have any firearms training? Do you consider yourself a reasonably accomplished shooter?? Like someone who practiced regularly? Or just someone who has firearms but didn't shoot enough to be aware of possible issues with trigger "break" or "anticipation"?? Do you (or did you) ever target practice?? Regularly (once a week average), semi-regularly (once every month or two) or rarely??

Again, thank you for being willing to share and if my questions make you uncomfortable, please understand that is not my intent.

I do hope you find some of the solace we all seek. If not in this life, then most assuredly in the next. My heart goes out to you.

I have a very large head. My head is too big to fit inside the largest sized US Army helmet which is probably why I was able to fit it in my mouth. What happened was I snatched the trigger when I pulled it, resulting in my face receiving most of the trauma from the cartridge instead of my brain.

That said, do you have any firearms training? Do you consider yourself a reasonably accomplished shooter?? Like someone who practiced regularly?

It's the only thing I'm proud of in my life. I can hit a point target the size of a head at 75 yards. I'm pretty good with handguns but I have little to no experience with rifles.

of possible issues with trigger "break" or "anticipation"?

I pulled the trigger as hard as I could as fast as I could along with tightening my fist like I was going to punch someone at the same time. It through my shot off completely.

Genetic determinism is brutal.
