I think my health issues are a big reason as to why I am so hyperfixated on suicide.

In childhood, I let my health go really down the drain and it feels like I have repeated that throughout my life. I have always been really passive, silent, unexpressive, lethargic, and generally invisible, and I just let the world and people do things to me while hoping I will just end up saved by the universe or something. It is really unrealistic sometimes, I should have done more action in my life, I should have listened to my body's warnings. I always felt a bunch of angst and strong existential anxiety when I was little because I felt like I was creating a vortex of sorts for myself that would eventually kill me. And now it is.

When I got a little older I started becoming super self destructive and addictive to the point where I didn't give a shit about my future life. I think I got hypoxic brain damage from this, or some other type, because I have chronic sinus issues that makes it hard for me to intake air sometimes. It makes me really depressed when I think about it because it is like this giant insecurity I have that feeds back into my addiction. And the addiction causes the brain damage, so the whole cycle gets reinforced. Nowadays I am really anxious to the point where I want the concept of myself shattered, I want myself to be sedated, ejected to space, etc. It feels like ice and fire in my brain. My prefrontal cortex I believe has become damaged so I am losing a lot of balance and regulation in my life. Everything is unbalanced sometimes. I can't really control my eating, because I don't really plan meals or stop eating something after it tastes good. I just eat super fast until I am full, so I don't get much pleasure from eating at all. I eat things that are meant for other people and regret it heavily after. I want to purge things at times but I don't even have an eating disorder yet. I have crazy OCD that makes social things inconvenient and very hard. It is hard for me to control and I am painful to be around socially. I basically repeat the same week over and over again and have no progress because of what little inhibition I have. I take vitamins, I brainstorm ideas, I shower, I get my health up to a good starting point, and then ruin it all over again by the end of the week because of masturbating the vitamins away and bringing more brain fog. I am very unpresentable and my hair falls out a lot while I freak out in public. My family is abusive, dismissive and triggers my anxiety so I basically gave up on trying to get therapy. I am very anxious so I feel as if I could never tell anyone that I have a porn addiction or all of my worse, actually impactful issues until I am alone.

I could fix all of this, there are probably solutions. Like I could take iron, because I am deficient in that, and it would help in getting more oxygen to my brain. But I have bad constipation issues, which make me depressed and make taking iron painful (the gas). I would just take iron and relapse on my addiction and lose it all over again. But I could eat it from foods. I could manage the constipation better. I could get online therapy. I could search super hard like I did when I was a kid for solutions.

But for some reason, I feel like none of that is worth it because of what I have been through. I have already reached a very low point in my life already so young, and I feel like I could never recover. I feel scared thinking about becoming healthy and falling back into this. I don't want to be consumed by the cycle I deal with every day over and over again. I don't see the point when people in the future could hate me a lot. I've never fit in well socially, I have issues upon issues upon issues. I would have to heal trauma and family issues. I feel like there is no point in fighting so hard when everybody expects you to commit suicide. People in school would comment on how doomed I was and my family put negative stuff in my head at an early age. It is a really negative and self loathing, victimizing cycle. But I feel like suicide is just the logical answer for me now. Fulfill my attraction to death and end my addiction, make everyone feel happy, express my truest emotions, etc. I will fuck everything up but it was just a long time coming.

I hope if I die another timeline of me will be able to live happily and do what they wanted.

My health issues are the reason for my suicidal ideation. I have severe ongoing neuropathy and central nervous system damage. I also have Lyme disease. I am a Christian and I am scared about committing suicide. I hope God is merciful but I am not sure. I am not sure exactly what the Bible says on this issue

I can relate to both of you, I've struggled with IBS, chronic pain (neuropathy rathter than rheumatic/inflammatory pain) and chronic fatigue alongside a spectrum of other issues since I was around 17. Once you get to this point and there are no fixes it is hard to keep going, because it feels like you are suffering everyday with no end in sight.

I'm sorry you went through all that.

I don't know what to say other than it's scary how much I can relate to this.

I've taken a lot of bad decisions my whole life.

I didn't take care of myself, didn't listen to my body, pretended I was fine when I wasn't, didn't go the doctor when it should have been obvious the symptoms I was experiencing weren't normal, skipped meals and ate a lot of junk food far too many times...

I thought I was invincible. Perhaps I was conditioned to think so because until I was 13 I never got sick, I mean never !

I know I shouldn't be too hard on myself, after all what is done is done and if I can't change it then what point is there in dwelling on the past ?

I could decide to change my behaviour and become more responsible.

But honestly I don't want to.

It's too late, there is no point.

I have made the conscious choice to give up trying.

I've completely destroyed my health, I feel I have gotten past the point of no return and that I will never be able to properly enjoy life no matter what I do or what treatment I get to limit the damage i've done.

99% of the time my life is suffering and there's maybe 1% of the time when I can escape from it. It's not worth it.

I have Lyme disease too and it is my reason for wanting to CTB. Been trying to treat it for 8 years and have mainly just realized that there is no way out other than death.
I have been diagnosed with Lyme Disease too. It deeply saddens me that almost everything about this disease is so controversial in the medical community and that our suffering isn't taken more seriously. It's already hard enough having such a poor quality of life, doctors dismissing us as lunatics is the last thing we need, yet it's exactly what so many of them do.

Yeah it's ridiculous that the government has barely funded any research into it over the past 40 years. Things are starting to change now but only due to billionaires in CT getting it and privately funding studies (Cohen foundation). But things aren't moving fast enough for me I don't think. Just don't have much more will to hang on. I read an article recently about someone with HIV and Lyme, and he said the HIV was completely treatable and considered his Lyme to be much harder to live with.
