Today (November 30th, 2023), exactly at 10 pm UTC-3, I will drink SN. I will not share my regimen because there are a few things I am doing differently and I do not want to induce mistakes on others if they don't work. I take full responsibility if I end up failing. I also take full responsibility if I chicken out. Feel free to ban me in 48 hours, if I survive I don't think I'll be able to get back here too soon.
My mental ailments (depression, bipolar personality disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder) started manifesting in a solid manner in the second semester of 2014 (I had a melancholic mood since around 2010, but it doesn't feel fair to consider it the fruit of mental illness at that point). I remember reaching the point of clear suicidal thoughts by 2015. I started going to therapy in June of 2017. In August 2017, I finally started to feel the strongest urges to act according to my ideations, unlike anything I've ever felt before (yes, after starting therapy). I started seeing a psychiatrist and taking medicine in September or October 2017, I can't exactly remember when. I did not see a therapist during the entirety of 2018 (which, ironically, was one of the best years of my life, despite it being filled with strong suicidal urges), but I kept seeing the psychiatrist and taking meds. In 2019, I went back to therapy, but the new therapist was inconsistent and would cancel appointments frequently; the psychiatrist remained consistent. In 2020, I started seeing a third therapist, and ended up distanced from the first psychiatrist due to the pandemic. I started seeing a new psychiatrist by the recommendation of the third therapist in October 2020 (taking meds all along, just changing some with the new doctor). I still see this psychiatrist and I have been with this third therapist from January 2020 until now. I even consulted with her last monday. I haven't taken meds for a few weeks now, but I stopped them only after deciding my final date for good in the first week of November. I am not emotionally distraught right now, nor have I been since I stopped taking medication. I am calm and at peace with my decision.
I sought help from professionals, and it was not enough. I acted to change what I could by myself, and it was not enough. I was loved by friends and family, from whom I also sought help, and it was not enough. I had food, shelter and leisure, and it was not enough. I tried to distract myself, and it was not enough. I had coping mechanisms, both healthy and unhealthy, but none were enough. I tried to gaslight myself that being 26 is far too young and that I have a lot to live yet, but this world is going to shit, therefore, it was not enough. I tried gaslighting myself throughout my whole life that I am able to solve all of my problems solely by putting more effort into them, but this illusion never proved to be true, therefore, it was not enough.
I wish well to everyone who stays, that you all conquer the freedom you deserve and become in full control of your destinies.
