The one thing that holds me back every time I think about CTB is the people I would be hurting. What would I even say to them? Would I leave a note or just let them wake up to the horrific news? I have a core belief that I would be better off dead and should never have been born, yet I am forced to continue this existence because I just can't bare to think about what my friends and family would have to go through. The pain only grows worse because I don't allow myself to consider CTB, despite it being the only thing my mind circles back to more often than not. If I were to allow myself to actually consider going through with it I think I wouldn't be as suicidal, like when Brian admits having the gun as a way out gives him peace of mind in that one Family Guy episode... But I don't even get that peace of mind, since I am too 'good' of a person to do that to my family despite believing to the core of my being that I'm rotten and don't deserve to draw breath. No matter how good of a person I try to be to compensate for that belief it won't ever go away and people won't know when I need them most because I never allow them to, then I get angry at them for not being there when I need them most. "I'm going to k*** myself" has become my catchphrase now whenever I am going through stress despite not allowing myself to consider how or when I would ever CTB. If I was truly not cared about in this world like I feel deep down I could have gone through with it already, but because there are people I would be hurting I don't even allow myself the luxury of considering it which just makes the ideation grow stronger and the suffering inescapable. It's like I know it's always an option but not one I allow myself to make, lately I have been fantasizing about taking my toaster for a swim, but all I think about is the horror of discovering my body. I think it's not even that I don't want to be cared about but that I don't feel cared about despite knowing people do. I blame my parents for bringing me into existence, because now despite being cursed with their disgusting traits I won't allow myself to take myself out. I know I am being extremely vague at this point but I don't think I can elaborate further, and I know this paragraph is a bit of a mess but I am just frustrated right now. I feel like the people in this world are so fake and I've spent all my life trying to care about anyone but myself and this goes so deep that even when I consider CTB I think about THEM rather than my own pain and suffering. Where do I begin and others end? I've spent so long trying to care for everyone else it's like torture to spend a full day with myself, and I end up self isolating first chance I get to soak in this feeling... everything about my life is a walking contradiction. I feel like an oxymoron living in a paradoxical circus.
