This is so true.
I really feel for you @jacrispy. Do you want to talk about how you got to this point? Totally understand if not. Only you sound like a decent and capable guy. Which is ridiculous thinking on my part, as why wouldn't someone like that end up suicidal?
I was with someone I thought I was in a relationship with. met her parents, photos of us were on social media, my friends knew her. we slept together and 2 weeks later she said she didn't want to be touched anymore, couldn't give me the affection I wanted, that the terminology of a relationship made her uncomfortable, meeting her parents wasn't a big deal because everyone does. she ghosted me and months later turned around to claim I was aware she was anxious during and immediately after we slept together, which isn't true. very heavily implied I took advantage of her. then my dog died. I have recurring nightmares of assaulting her even though I didn't. it was gaslighting but the guilt still remains. perhaps if I'm truly capable and decent that's why I'm feeling the need to do this. people are evil, they will take advantage of your kindness and vulnerability when it suits them, then leave you with no explanation and make you feel crazy for seeking closure from a situation. things in the world are so broken. people don't want to have honest conversations anymore, it's easier for them to walk away so they don't have to take accountability. I'm tired of feeling like a monster.
I'm at the beginning of day 3 without eating... your not alone. I'm just not hungry and it's shit to try to force myself to eat...
whenever depression strikes everything feels like a chore. even something as simple as breathing. I'm sorry you're going through this as well.
I know how you feel my friend. Life can be exhausting, and the world is becoming increasingly shittier. I feel your pain and I also get horrid nightmares, but living can be the biggest nightmare. You are not alone mate. We all get where you are coming from, or we wouldn't be here in the first place. Peace
it's sad so many of us feel this way and that the only way to be open about it is with strangers on a website designed to help you take your own life.
