Emissary of the right to die.

So 2020 is here and a lot of things suck. Yes there are some things from the past, but as a whole, things have been getting progressively worse for me (environmental, personal, and all around). I don't want "help" (as in seeking professional help or medication - that's another thread altogether) for it. I want real solutions and if there are none, or if I fail to rectify them, then I am going to CTB sooner than I'd like. 2019 was sort of a rocky year with ups and downs, then in December, things gradually gotten worse for me, starting from having to move from my previous location/living arrangement, then personal relations with someone I held in high regard for, and then of course my anxiety related issues as well as Aspergers (lifelong condition). In the past, my life wasn't easy and I didn't really enjoy life in general, on a good day, I'm about as apathetic and nonchalant as usual, nothing really impresses or amuses me much, and if it did, it was fleeting. I have had good experiences, but there are also quite a lot of shitty experiences in life as well that has pushed me to the point where I wished I died instead of being alive.

So with all that said, here are the things are pushing me towards CTB'ing, or in other words, suicide fuel for me.

1) My Aspergers condition and social anxiety has always fucked me up. I would be more than glad to trade away a part of my logic skills and developmental disorder just to be able to get around and enjoy life a bit more. I never experienced what and how most NT (neurotypicals) lived, so there is a small part of me that wondered what that 'experience' is. On the more rational part of me decides that it was probably overrated and just lame, nothing special, a lot of background noise (maybe it's my cognitive dissonance and sour grapes fallacy kicking in.).

2) Then I suddenly start to have performance related anxiety that fucks with my hobbies. I have studied and played the piano for over two decades (most of my life), took lessons for almost a decade as well as attended countless studio and masterclasses, been to many performances and even studied with a world class musician. However, with all that going for me, it is all in vain due to my performance anxiety that started to creep up in my early to mid 20's, and progressively getting worse. I have just experienced it when even trying to record some covers and had to do many, many takes just to get it to the quality that I find acceptable/satisfied with. Even then, I still think it is still not that great (not so much missed notes, maybe one or two here and there, but some rhythm, phrasing, and clarity/cleaniness in sound). It has fucked with me so much that even when I play in front of someone or try to record, I just end up blanking out and it's as if I never practiced at all. But the thing is when I practiced alone, in the privacy of a practice room, a empty hall, or even in the living room, I never lost control nor focus. In fact, over a decade ago, I never had this anxiety problem before, and played nearly flawlessly, with really tight focus.

3) My relations with a ladyfriend that has helped me through 2019 (and some before) has made a turn for the worse. Some of the things were outside of my control and then of course, she is unpredictable and has her own things going on in her life, so there's that. However, she has made a 180 degree turn to something that is not really tenable for me. Her conduct is unbecoming and there is no excuse for her to lash out at me for no reason. I have never been offensive nor rude to her, yet when something sets her off, she goes off on a verbal tirade and she has become the last straw for me when it comes to relations with people. Also, another thing that irks me is when she misguided and misunderstands what I have to say, it's so annoying and unhelpful. I could go into more details, but I will just leave it at that.

4) As a result of #1, I am just so sick of people ghosting, playing dumb, and generally just ostracizing me and treating me as some outcast. This isn't the strongest reason for wanting to CTB, but it is still suifuel due to how people have treated me and then feigning ignorance or denial of any wrongs or transgressions. They think they can get away with poor treatment and what not, then when I stand up for myself, I get shut down quickly and dismissed. Sometimes I just want to CTB just so they won't be able to push me around anymore, lie to me anymore, or any bullshit.

5) Existential crisis, and the fact that life pretty much sucks from the way forward. I am 29 years of age, I am not getting younger, yet I feel like I'm already 40+ or so. I'm not really physically fit or strong and my anxiety and Aspergers have fucked me up psychologically to which I am unable to get by easily in life, let alone be able to prosper on my own terms. I don't care about being a millionaire, having a big house, having a lot of wealth, or a really nice car, or luxury stuff. I just want to pursue my hobbies and goals in the way I like and be able to live as stress free as possible.

6) Also, the fact that here we are, in 2020, yet euthanasia and right-to-die is still illegal and prohibited in many parts of the world, and in most states in the US. Then, suicide prevention bullshit is still rampant in this day and age, with the psychiatric industry and mental health professionals digging their heels even deeper. They wonder why more and more people commit suicide, but their heads are so far up their asses that they refuse to acknowledge the state that society is in. They also peddle lots of mental health support, therapy, and meds, but never really the structural problems that lead up to the situations in which people CTB.

7) Personal grievances and being unable to fully come to terms or fully accept how things are. There are many examples I could give, but I'll just give one or two. I can't accept the illogical ways of people and how hypocritical the world is. One such instance would be when people say "don't worry about what others think" as in telling the worrier to ignore negative judgment from people and then the very same people continue to judge, scrutinize, and ridicule. One other example is virtue signals. I think virtue signals are just ways for people to boost their egos, get brownie points from their peers, while doing just about fuck all to help the actual person in need.

8) The fact that people are illogical and hypocritical and I am supposed to just "accept" it and if I question it, then somehow I am lambasted for it, and/or shunned for it socially. People have no good answers for some illogical and irrational things that they do. Sometimes there is no answer to "why" or how and it is just the way things are... I just have a hard time accepting it, so death would free me from having to be tormented by the irrational and illogical reasoning of others.

There are more, but these are just quite a few major suicidefuel events, things, reasons, that push me ever closer to CTB when the day comes.

This post points out a lot of societies hypocrisy and I feel your pain. After what I've experienced, I feel twice my age. Best thing you can do is cut those takes out of your life. Most people are sheep and not worth dealing with.

Anxiety is a bitch. I wish I could help you with it but I'm stuck on how to handle it. I hope things look up for you soon.

Thanks @Broken Chimera. I mainly wrote this to give a brief list of the things that are pushing me towards CTB'ing in 2020. I don't have any exact date or time, but depending on how things play out, I may hold on longer (or go sooner). I wouldn't be fully ready to CTB atm since things have not settled down completely yet and now would be the worst time to get my firearm from storage. I also have a few things to do and get ready before I'm ready to go. It's also possible that another miracle could occur, but the chance is very low.

I'm sorry you are going through this @thrw_a_way1221221 I too have health conditions that I suffer from. Maybe you can trick yourself into recording yourself when you are relaxed in your living room/room.

Yup autism is pretty shit, dog. Ain't nothing effective to be done about it but people are shit too. Maybe Google "radical acceptance?"

@reapandsow918 I wish, but I am relying on a recording/audio engineer to help me because I lack the proper equipment and instrument in order to do so (I don't have a good enough video camera, microphone, or even a good enough piano to record on). There is also the fact that I paid good money to do these covers (for myself mainly), and what I used to do without hesitation is now a monstrous chore and challenge to get through. I believe my subconscious is fighting me (similar to SI would interfere with one trying to CTB.) and interfering with my rational and conscious mind.

@ctbUniquectb I have seen what radical acceptance is and yes, it could be a good way to cope with reality. However, I don't think I can (nor want to) cope forever. At some point I would exhaust the copes and then end with CTB.

Your post

Yeah coping becomes a real drag over time, too. But you've had hobbies and all, I mean, that stuff tends to be cyclic. I'm getting more of a "in a rut" vibe from you than a "end of the rope," if you don't mind me saying

It's disheartening to see the similar way of things piling up and piling up, losing joy time after time from things that used to bring it, and seeing future as continuing the same downwards spiral. I hope that you'll achieve peace, in life or in death.

Thanks everyone, I'm still working through these things and if I can't find a solution to solving my anxiety issues that is fucking with my hobbies, then it would be a significant step towards CTB (alongside with other current, ongoing factors). This wasn't the case and in the past, I used to pursue my hobbies the way I want to without much interference from my subconscious. I know what the problem is (for the most part), but lack a reasonable solution to it. I don't want to resort to professional help for it nor meds for my personal reasons and that's another topic altogether.

My relations with my ladyfriend (it's all platonic just fyi) especially after knowing her for many years, is still rather poor and she has made a turn for the worst as I have mentioned. Let's just say that she was approachable in the past and things were much better in the past, but just over a month ago, things made a sudden turn for the worse. She is no longer the same person she was and wasn't as approachable or even patient, but rather cold and what not. I know that it's not really all my fault as she has her own things she is going through and what not, but she is a bit unreasonable in my eyes. In the past, she used to be modest, used to talk about many things (in fact, I think she was supportive of right-to-die, death with dignity stuff when it comes to terminal illnesses) and generally pleasant to hang around with. But since last December, things have changed, she is no longer like she was, a totally different person. I have been in communication with her for over several years, mainly professional/business like, but also platonic casual relations, just like being an online 'friend.' I did enjoy meeting her in person (last March 2019) and that time, it was rather pleasant and things were good back then. In present day, it's like as if she pushed away everyone (including me) and have gotten callous, cold. She isn't the main reason contributing towards my CTB, but is still a major factor.

Relatable. Either you let them bully you or stand up for yourself. But when you do stand up for yourself, you're called a fucking ingrate scum. Relatable as hell.
I get that. You try to understand society through logic but it's completely impossible, society isn't logical. That is a problem for me too. They are malicious. When they happen to have good will and be friendly that's whole different story. But most of the time they are looking for a reason to reject you. "Oh you looked at me badly, don't come to me anymore."
Or when you say one wrong thing and they start to hate you and it's a tiny little thing. :( That's how I see it and where I relate to you.
I learnt on a course "anxiety is a reaction to autism". What do you think?

That's an interesting way to look at it and yes, I suppose society just isn't logical and it's kind of sad that it is the way it is. I cannot win against a fucked up society and I'm just too tired to keep fighting and don't wish to. It sucks that no one outside of this place really understands it, let alone empathize and acknowledge, respect my views.

May I tell you my story? Ever since elementary school, I was introverted. Being friends with people was too much effort, I decided. So I went on to think about the world and society, from an outside POV. Wanted to look at the world objectively. Why people think this and that, I was always thinking deeply about the world, and philosophy, and scientific thinking. I was socially anxious, and thought more about the world than my immediate needs. But this past summer, I got into to this amazing flow of, oh, I don't even know how to describe it. But my head hurt like hell for weeks, and it was amazing. And noticed how everyone was so irrational, and how the only way to not appear like an asshole to them was to just follow the crowd. I've become so stupid. It didn't help that I am a bit autistic and got really obsessed with one thing a lot. I didn't have that many more years before I had to get a job, and I spent all those on deep thinking instead of keeping a job, and making sure I don't appear like an asshole so nobody would fire me or anything. I ignored all my passions all my thoughts, for fear of appearing like a weirdo. Now I can be happy by doing stupid stuff, because of this stupid pushing away thinking. Now all I feel like doing is to complain, and attention seek, instead of thinking. I wish I could just drop dead now, as I see how there's no way back to my old mindset, now that I've let society drag me down to their level, and how my view of the world has changed to match that of all these idiots. Instead of disagreeing with them, I joined them.

TL;DR
Please, keep on thinking. Don't ever sink to their level of thinking, like me Keep on fighting. And if you can't take it either like I did, and you CTB, well, at least you missed this stupid step that I've taken. It's all downhill for me now, one way or the other.

Edit: Also, just created a topic elaborating on the "ladyfriend" reason, (reason #3) along with the background and backstory of me and her relations over the years.

@UnsureWhatToDo Thanks for your story and it was interesting to say nevertheless. I'm glad that you have realized about how wrong the status quo is and thanks for informing me of the pitfalls and your perspective. I believe I am still set on CTB (for many external, existential, and even personal reasons, not on any singular reason alone).
