A couple months ago I lost my boyfriend. He took his own life with N, so it was planned.
I never saw it coming, despite the fact we both struggled with mental health issues (depression, bpd).
I met him last summer when we both joined a group therapy for bpd issues.

He never told me he had N in his house. With the information I know now, how hard it is to purchase N, I wonder if he was also a member of this community.
It looked like he had it al together in his last months. He started a new job, had his own house & attented college. But I guess it never made him happy or even feeling a bit better.

The last time I saw him, I was struggling (again) with depression. He wanted to help me, but I was convinced I wasn't good enough so I kind of broke up with him (telling him that i couldn't make him happy and needed time). First he denied it and cried, but accepted it and told me how much he loved me, that I was the most beautiful woman he ever met. We cuddled and kissed. At that time, I didn't think it was suspicious. I just felt loved and flattered.

Now I know this was his goodbye. A day after our talk he took his life.

They say it will get better over time. Well, it doesn't. It only gets worse. I feel numb, guilty, sad, depressed all day. I can't even find the right words anymore.
I struggle with bpd and depression half of my life (and I'm just in my mid 20's). The day he died, that last piece of hope and joy inside of me died with him too.
After years of therapy, struggles and trauma's I am just done. So that's what brought me here, to get informed well. I don't want to do anything impulsive.
I guess I'll go for partial, since I don't have the energy anymore for big preparations.
The only and one thing that keeps me going, are my parents. I don't want them to endure the pain I feel & worse.
But I can't keep going just for them.

Sorry for this sad story. It helped a bit to write it down and to be here. In a weird way, this community gives me support just by reading other people's experiences.

So sorry to read of your loss, Sounds like you didn't have long together, but that time would have been special regardless.
I read a beautiful statement once, someone was replying to someone who had lost a loved one to suicide, the person was heartbroken, a reply was simply
We do not move on, instead we simply step forward in life.

Do not be sorry for sharing your story, to be able to speak openly in a forum of strangers is a huge thing, and thank you for talking to us here.

This is so tragic, I feel awful for you. At least you got to share some precious time together, even if it was a struggle for you both.
I really hope you can find a way to climb out of this deep, deep hole. We're all here for you, even if you just want to talk.

I'm sorry for your loss, I myself have been depressed and suicidal since I lost my other half as well (not to suicide though).

I feel you, I lost my girlfriend couple months ago. Not as tough as your situation, but she broke up with me and rightly so cause I wasn't good enough for her. I'm planning on ctb as well, and it's not getting better over time either. They always say time heals and that it'll get better but for me it's only getting worse by the day. The longer I live the worse it gets. Wish that someone could give me a pill n I just die

Thank you all for the sweet replies. It feels good to share my story here. In real world everyone has their own opinion and judgement (about depression, ctb, me & him).

I am sorry to hear it's not getting better and you're in so much pain. I hope you will feel better soon, but i can imagine the pain and despair.

(HE HAD 2 SUICIDE ATTEMPTS THAT YEAR) AND MOVED IN WITH ME JUST A WEEK BEFORE THAT NIGHT.. HE HUGGED ME A HUGE WARM BEAR HUG AND SAID INTO MY EAR- I DONT HAVE TO NOW- I GOT MY PUMPKIN..
THAT WAS THE HAPPIEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE..

Oh, fuck, that hits right in my feels T.T
I lost my best friend a few months ago. We met on a a facebook group for suicidals and talked every single day for 8 years. At one point he even came to my country and we rented an apartment together, but we were mutually toxic and it didnt work out so I ended things. He begged me to come back, I told him I dont want to sound mean but hes a bit abusive and I think its in my best interest to just remain friends.
At one point we kinda entered a pact together to jump off Gorlitz railway bridge, but he locked himself in a hotel and took SN. He was found 3 days later, and I got notified by a member because he used to be a member of ss.
I went to the bridge myself and screamed. Just stood there all night and screamed. Tried to jump 2 times, then 2 or 3 times off other bridges, then I waited for the train to come but chickened out, finally tried to walk in the river but also backed out. I was cold, shaking, I cried so bad I couldnt catch my breath, at one point I was so stressed I started throwing up on the bus home that I literally crawled to get into.
I dont remember much after that, but I know I spent 3,5 months in a mental ward. Ive seen things that didnt exist. Maggots, dead bodies hanging from the ceiling. I screamed and cried and constantly talked about joining him
It fucking destroyed me, thats all. I know I couldnt take the power of making the final decision off him and make him live even though he didnt want to , but it still hurts. And now I dont want to make new friends ever again.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Today marks a year since mine took his life and had me find him. It's been a year full of trauma and the most darkest pit of pain since. Going on with life is so tough. Grief is a horrible thing to go through especially if you already suffer from depression or any sort of mental illness. Nothing in the world anyone says will make you feel better or take the pain away but I'm so incredibly sorry and you're not alone. Feel free to pm me If you need to vent or just need someone to listen.

I'm sorry for your loss. My boyfriend and I both struggled with depression most of our lives and he took his life almost two years ago. It has not gotten any easier. Most of the time I just wish he would've taken me with him. Feel free to message me if you'd like
