Story My Recently Failed Attempt

[wolfpaxhd]

This was last month. But i have not been on this site in a while so i didn't really document it.

I saved up alot of money from my old job, were talking almost 1k and my plan was to order a gun online, take an uber to the gunstore, and have my gun ready and i would have been in and out. Since im in a state where you don't need an actual license to buy rifles, all you need is the paperwork filled and to be legally allowed to own.

I was safe, or atleast i thought i was... To those curious, yes im a hermit. I do not have a drivers license which is why i needed an Uber. The nearest DMV is stupidly far.

So when i made the purchase this is where the plan went into a downfall, i accidentally used my old bank account which was still joint owned by my parents.. as you expect that was my biggest mistake. They saw the charge with the name "gun" in it and they had crisis workers on the phone, they barged into my room like the military and woke me up during my sleep, and intervened. Unfortunately i was not able to get the gun so i got a refund. I was lucky to not be thrown into a mental hospital.

That being said the story does NOT end here.. I plan to repeat the same method, this time with the right account and i plan to be less dumb. Im hoping for the best. The biggest thing in my way right now is me being watched more. But arguably im bound to be home alone for enough time that i can make my trip and back without a hitch.

That's the thing. We all have to try be as alert and clear thinking as possible during these preparations. Easier said than done though.

Good luck with it all.
If I were in the US I would of got a gun by now. Sadly we can't really do that here in Australia. We do have some gun ranges around though. Somebody in NSW years ago did himself in at a range.

I'm sorry that happened to you, but you're right luckily you weren't admitted to the mental hospital. That's honestly one of my worst fears and it's kept me from doing attempts or even getting proper medical attention for my mental health, I'm seeing a therapist but I usually keep my actual thoughts and worries aside from our appointments, since I really don't want any chances of being sent to a psych ward. As I have a family member who has been there multiple times and have not heard good things about it at all. Just knowing the process where you have to be checked and stripped just causes me immense distress.

If possible and if you're comfortable would you mind sharing a little of your experience with mental hospitals?

I did want to go for the method you're going for as well, since it seemed the most effective and fast but like you've shared my family would probably find out. I also live in a state where it's hard and expensive to get a license and then own any kind of firearm.

You had it there most of the way just make sure to take every precaution as possible as start coming up with lies and excuses in case you get caught at any point of the process. I myself will daydream situations where I get caught and use my pattern recognition to find a way out of them, it's mostly a coping tactic to help with my paranoia of my attempt not working and having to deal with the aftermath. Which I would rather eat concrete than deal with that.

I can really relate to this. I also have no intention of telling my therapist how i actually feel about continuing on
Why would i.
I dont give a fuck about telling some stranger who im paying about my problems. At the end of the day they do it for money.
If im gone theyll just replace me with someone else and barely give me a second tought

I bought a gun and I was to fucking chicken to use it/ nice plan though' maybe you will have better luck, you're only a teenager, not sure you will pull this off, I'm in my forties.
