I might be a bit different in saying I actually don't want to die. But I see no other option. I'll be homeless in two weeks. Things just don't work out for me. Jobs didn't work out. Friends didn't work out and neither did family. I was born in poverty so no one can help me anyway. The first time I was on my own I actually had a friend help me and I slept on a couch for four years. It was pretty horrible. And of course that didn't work out either. Twenty-three years of friendship down the drain.

When my father passed we found a 357 magnum in his car. I kept it. I guess it was his gift to me to be able to exit quick and painless. And in two weeks I guess i'll be putting a bullet through my head.

I'm almost 40 years old and I'm terrified to die. I didn't think I would be when the time came. But as it draws closer i'm filled with fear and anxiety. I shake in bed knowing I'm either going to die or be homeless. I'm really not sure which is worse. There's no where to go. No friends and no family. They never really cared about me which was proven the first time I was homeless. My uncle even hung himself when he lost his job when i was a child knowing the family wouldn't help him either. No where for him to go either.

My mother is alive still and lives with her boyfriend who has money and a big house. But they don't care. It's not an option. It hurts to know my own mother doesn't care. I guess she'll take joy in my death. What would be ironic is if they actually pay for a funeral but not willing to help me to try survive a bit longer to find a job. Once you're homeless, its almost impossible to find work. Its only a matter of time before my car is towed because I can't afford insurance. Then roaming the streets like a dog just doesn't seem like an option. Obviously I'll have to ditch everything I own, which isn't much anyway, I live in a hotel right now.

Life is for the rich. I don't have anyone to call to talk to. Anywhere I go on the internet no one wants to hear it. No one cares. I'm very lonely and scared. And I find it all unfair as a good person. Prices went up and I can't find a job that would provide a living at this point.

I tried to pray but I'm not sure if that's going to amount to anything. It doesn't even provide me any comfort. It just makes me cry more.

I assume this is my destiny or fate to finally end my life. We're all going to die one day anyway right. And as a 40 year old I obviously won't have money for retirement so I'll eventually be in the same position once i'm older. It's now or then.

My biggest problem is going to have the courage the pull the trigger. It's going to be hard. I guess I'll have to drink a lot or something. There will probably be a lot of heavy tears.

I'm jealous of people who have family. Always having somewhere they can go. Someone to talk to. Enough to get by. A friends couch to sleep on.

They say you can do anything you want and be anything you want in this world but you can't do it alone. And I'm alone.

Life is for the rich. I love that sentence. You couldnt be any more right. Your post resonates within me deeply and im sorry that you are in such a hopeless situation with no way out.
My deep condolences for hearing that your own mother could easily accomodate you, yet chooses not to. She is a piece of shit for that.
Do you really have noone left that cares about you? noone left to turn to? completely alone? ):

What country are you in, have you considered homeless shelters or other charities or government support organizations?
Also as wrong as it may sound Im jealous of you for having a gun. Im sorry I wish I had your gun so I could do it to myself instead of you.
Your story is certainly one of the most tragic ones ive seen on here so far )::: you really dont deserve all this...

I understand what it's like to be alone too. I have no one and never had anyone to be with me too. I'm sorry you had to go through all that and it sounds rough. I really don't understand why family betrays each other but not everyone are good people and sadly the world is just like that. But honestly the hesitation shows deep down have a reason to live and attempt to strive. I really hope you can find peace by getting back on your feet and possibly applying for some type of aid in some fashion. I say stick with life for a little longer and see how far your hesitation will go

I hear you friend. Having people that love and support you is everything in life. It is as essential as food or water because not having a support system cripples you and leads to a shitty, burdensome life. I myself dont have anyone and will likely CTB because of it.

I'm so sorry for everything you went through. I'm in a similar situation with being terrified of ctb but having no other option. life seriously is for the rich. it's almost impossible to find a job that pays you enough to survive. it's ridiculous how many lives could be saved if landlords didn't exist and it didnt cost your life savings for one month of rent.
I hope you find peace whether your decide to keep living or to CTBšŸ–¤

I'm sorry for your struggle. Meeting every material need takes money, and some of us have trouble getting money in our capitalist system. It usually requires us going to a job, working for someone else, for 40 hours a week or more. Some of us just can't handle that. Destitution and homelessness can result if we don't fit into the job market. The feeling of being alone is one of the worst feelings. I know it all too well.

It must be so awful what you have to go through and it's cruel how people suffer like this, I find it so horrible how such a thing as homelessness even exists. But anyway I wish you the best with your plans.

I understand how you feel. I'm alone too. People (including family) want you only when you serve their purpose. I'm tired of the bullshit of life. I'm going to be ctb soon too - not by gun by another method. I understand your hesitation. I'm afraid I wont succeed at my method. I am so sorry you're in the position you're in. All I can say is I understand.
