Hello, I am 38 and non-binary (legally a trans woman, not passing, but gender is a performance anyway). I am so tired of living in this hell world. I am isolated and depressed, and nobody has really been involved in my life (birthdays, holidays, even just hanging out casually) in years. I have been too depressed and anxious to leave the house much, let alone go to work. My roommates just walked out without paying rent or utilities for months, and straight-up robbed me. I want to end my life, and I am so frustrated that I can't seem to do so. It's been five years of regretting waking up, since my last real relationship ended badly.

I come from a crazy, high-control religious family ("Evangelical Christian," and not in a good way, nothing against Christianity as a whole). About sixteen months ago, I was involuntarily hospitalized due to a fraudulent "wellness check' by my sister, and forced to sign legal documents while in the mental hospital giving my abusive father legal and medical proxy rights for six months (I talked him down from a year). My therapist and lawyer both ignored the forms, naturally, but my therapist reported harassment from my family, including threatening to sue the practice and her personally. She sent me a letter to that effect just before leaving the practice last June, leaving me without a therapist. I haven' ben able to work since.

Anyway, I decided that it would be better if I simply exited this rigged game we call life. I did some research on this site, and decided that hanging would be the most efficient way to do so, because I don't have access to firearms. I tried hanging myself from the railing of my stairs, since I am now alone in the house. I passed out momentarily, but woke up and pannicked, and escaped the noose. I wish I hadn't.

After doing more research (specifically Evelyn Lane's thread) and watching a video on hanging from a door, I decided to go that route. I tied a rope to a towel rack that was hanging over the barhroom door, and stood on a chair on the other side with the door closed. I tried to edge my feet off of the chair like I saw in the video, trying to accept it, but the chair slipped and I instinctively tried to catch myself. In doing so, I disclocated my shoulder, causing intense pain. I thought, "well, great. Not only are you goig to die, you're going to die struggling and in pain." My foot was stull on the chair, and I managed to pull it back towards me and release myself. I wasn't able to set my shoulder, so I had to go to the hospital t get it reset.

It was nice being taken care of in the hospital, even if it was noisy and boring. I got a shot of morphine and anasthetic for the procedure, making me feel light and euphoric, but when it wore off, I was in the same situation, just throoughly discouraged. I tried hanging myself from the rod in my closet, but no matter how hard i pushed, I couldn't seem to make myself pass out.

A few weeks ago, I even tried the plastic bag method, but i was gasping so hard and in so much pain that i ripped the bag. I just wish there was an easier way to die.

Edit: I forgot to add, I started seeing a new therapist and psychiatrist this month. I was diagnosed with BPD and possibly Bipolar I, due to paranoid delusions. I assume most of it is trauma-related, but I form deep, intense attachments to people and then convince myself they are abusing me at the slightest sign of trouble, breaking my own heart in the process. that's pretty much why I am alone and tired of living.

Thanks, @BradGuy123 .

One thing I have noticed from visiting this forum is that there are so many young people (under 25 is young to me), who are so desperate to end their lives. I cannot speak to anybody's lived experience, and I know chronic illness can really affect your world, but it seems to me like you really can't have messed up your ife that badly by 25. It's sad to see.

As someone who is exactly 25 this has nothing to do with experiences for some and more with it being born into you.

As people are born trans or homosexual the same can be true for suicidal

In my case I had this final constant sadness in my brain the moment I turned 13. It never went away. I could have the most beautiful day of my life and I would still feel the incredible desire to exit during all that.

I got insane luck in the genetic lottery, a lot of friends, a high paying job, had multiple girlfriends (even though I fucked up every relationship I was in) and don't have any reason whatsoever to feel this way.

yet, I still do.

Some things are just born into you and "unfixable"

This makes sense to me. The deep sense of horror before myself goes back to like 12, not 36.
We all carry a burden.

Some have it easier than others
But in the end everyone here on this site has one common goal ^^

I'm 22. I'm feeling like this is me. It's now been 10 years since I've started feeling this way.
final constant sadness
This describes it perfectly. It feels final and constant. My psychiatrist told me yesterday that I need to stop viewing suicide as an option, I need to stop thinking that's how my story will end. But the last 10 years have only spiralled me towards it further.

I'm now out of university, renting a home with my partner of 6 years, we have a cat, I love my job and I find it rewarding. And I've never felt worse. Now that my life is calm everything is catching up to me and I feel I can't go on much longer. I'm giving myself another 6 months to be certain. Gives me time to write a will, finish writing my letters, and give treatment/medication one last go. Maybe things will settle. I don't feel like they will. Right now I'm just trying to accept it and find peace. Accepting my family's reaction is the hardest part. I've never once felt unloved or uncared for. I know it's going to be a huge tragedy for everyone around me. I have a large community.

But it doesn't feel tragic to me. It feels like being tired and going to sleep after a long day at work. There are good moments and bad. You accept it all and you rest.

Sorry to hear. But plastic bag method? Not a method. The suicide resource compilation is there for you if ever you decide to try a viable method again.

thank you, I really don't want to try that again. Hanging seems to be my best option, even though i live alone and have the house all to myself. If I had a firearm i'd be long gone.
