I wrote my suicide note today...I'm going to be leaving soon

[mustangsally4ever]

I wrote my suicide note to my significant other today. It made me so sad. I know some people will think how can I want to CTB if I have a partner, but the truth is that the chemicals in my brain won't let me feel good, feel happiness or joy. And I know he doesn't want a broken me, he's made that clear. So every day is torture, trying to fake being halfway normal...but I know in my heart he knows I'm not okay. Today he told me "happiness is a choice." Man, how I wish that was the case. It's really hard for people to understand treatment-resistant depression.

I need to get the rest of my affairs in order this week. I have to see my mom and sister too which I'm dreading because I will have to use every ounce of energy to be "in a good mood." The last time I talked to them they said I always had a "black cloud around me" and that it interfered with the way they lived their lives to be around me. So, yeah...

Man, I really wish happiness is a choice too. If that was true, I wouldn't be here so depressed.

It is really energy-sucking to pretend like you are happy and all. But do remember you don't always have to be bright. I know they said about black clouds, but who can be in happy mood all the time, 24/7. You got this.

Other than the having a partner, I understand. Appreciate your sharing.

Wishing you peace and freedom from this horrible world.

Sucks to hear they don't understand.. too many times people believe you can "think your way out of depression" which only adds to depression. But I understand. Best of luck.

It really sounds like you've suffered a lot, it must be so dreadful and tiring what you go through. But anyway I hope that you find peace eventually.

I'm so sorry that people are blaming you for feeling bad instead of having sympathy for you, that's really harsh. It isn't your fault. Good luck with everything
