I've always known I was going to go this route.
For as long as I can remember it's almost been like a premonition. Like I just knew I was going to die by my own hand. Even before I actually decided to CTB.
I've struggled with anxiety and depression since my early teens. Used to be on antidepressants when I was younger but they made it SO much worse so I stopped taking them. As I got older I still struggled but my life up until July was pretty close to perfect so I managed to stay out of the "dark place" most of the time. Then my inability to accept that I might deserve a good life led to self sabotage and a spiral.
Then my husband (who I JUST married earlier this year) asked me for a divorce the first weekend of November. Now he has a new girlfriend and has recently informed me that no one in his life wanted me in it anyway.
Then I lost my father (the person I was closest to) 5 days later. Out of nowhere. I spoke to him 2 hours before and he was fine. Now he's gone.
I moved in with my sister and I feel like my presence is such a burden on her and her family. It is still crippling.
I have no friends because they were all my husbands friends first. I have no one. I go days without anyone trying to contact me.
I went from total bliss to rock bottom in a matter of weeks.
I am thousands of dollars in debt from the wedding because we put all of the loans and credit cards in my name and no way to pay any of it off because I quit my job so we could move to a new city together.
My existence has always been an afterthought for everyone in my life. Never a favorite, never someone people thought twice about.
Now the memories of my old life play in my head like a movie. Like a nightmare I can't wake up from.
I was so happy and now it's gone and I have nothing.
I don't know how Im supposed to live with the regret.
I want to go back and change every time I ever made my husband unhappy.
I want to go back and spend more time with my dad.
I love them both so much my heart aches.
I feel like I'm drowning and I can't breathe.
I need it to stop. I NEED it to stop.
