yes, my recent failed attempt still haunts me because god, i wish that it worked.
it's embarrassing and heartbreaking to wake up the morning after chugging down a bunch of pills with alcohol and saying goodbye to loved ones. questioned myself and everything else several times the day after.
"why didn't it work? am i just destined for failure?"
i think the feeling you get after a failed attempt is far worse than the feeling you were having before and during the said attempt because all the regret, shame, and guilt hits you hard. after mine, i became this lost cause of a human being, devoid of happiness or any optimism. it's exhausting. it's exhausting because everyday after that day, i kept wishing that it worked. everyday after that day, i suffer.
however, just like they all say, learn from your mistakes. i know damn well that i will the next time i'll attempt again.
i do empathize with you and i'm sorry that you're having such a horrible feeling to bear with everyday. it's okay to feel scared of trying again, we all feel that way so i hope you know that you're not alone on this. i do hope that you find peace within yourself soon. perhaps not now, but when you are truly ready. best of wishes to you
