I know my life is over, and yet I have a hard time making that final push. That final step to actually CTB and be done with it.

I've given up, I'm 32 and Bipolar. I've tried many times to improve my life and it's only brought more misery. There is a mountain of trauma and regret under my feet and every single day is just me wishing that I could. I know it's over and that all my dreams are impossible because of the way that my brain is. Others don't accept this, they still want to see "hope" when there is simply none to be found for someone like me.

I know my method, I'm an American after all I will get a shotgun and shorten it, get piss drunk and bang. I know exactly what needs to be done, I know that my alternative is a life where I suffer until I die naturally/by accident God knows when. I know that the alternative is that I inevitably hurt more people when I don't want to. I know the alternative is that I bring the whole world down by my whole existence and yet I cannot seem to take those final steps to finally end it.

I'm not naive enough to believe that it won't affect people, no matter how big of a piece of shit I am. Even though logically I am doing the world a favor by ending it and ending my existence people will always have those delusions that somehow some miracle could have changed the person who killed themselves. Especially my parents, I've told myself before to wait until they die...but at the same time why should I. I try and tell myself that in the end it's the people who don't get why someone commits suicide who are the selfish ones. That no one should just force someone to continue living in such pain.

I believe these things, and yet I won't allow it for myself ... And I guess I just need someone to tell me it's ok to do this and that I need to stop being so hung up on what everyone else thinks. If someone could post here or PM me I'd really appreciate it...and at the very least thank you for reading through all of my drivel.

I'm the same way. I know that all my mental health issues have basically damned me. I can hardly manage working a job and rn I don't have one. I can't afford therapy or medication. I can't afford to make my body feel like it belongs to me.

I want the pain to end so badly but I still have such a hard time letting go. I don't want to hurt anyone either, but I also feel like everyone I care about will be happier if I'm gone, even if they don't realize it.

All I want is to be happy but it just feels impossible.

I'm so sorry you're feeling and going through all you're going through. I know you must be feeling utterly alone and isolated. What you're sharing here is NOT drivel. I wish it was legal for us in the US to be eligible for medical aid in dying due to mental illness. We're suffering too and also deserve that right to death with dignity.

I am 100% pro-choice in everything in life, ctb, abortions, everything and the only aspect, I have had 2 attempts, is that ctb is one and done, NO do overs ever.


Lots of hugs and the knowledge that you are a good friend to/for me as I have no family nor friends.

I have no one either. And I'm perfectly fine with that. I offer both you and the OP lots of hugs.

Thank you all for the responses, I feel very seen and understood. I think from now on I will be in this thread updating it on my progress.

My first thing I need to do of course is aquire the means, I am determined to go this coming Wednesday. It's nerve wracking to say the least, but I think I'm ready. I always tell myself that if I 'buy the gun, everything else will follow' there's a lot of loose ends, notes and things to take care of. I'm not in a rush, this isn't something that was spur of the moment at all. I'm hoping with your support I can finally do what I've wanted to do, catch the bus out of here.

Thank you again.

Didn't go through with getting the gun, sometimes it seems like it's hard to do just that basic thing. It's just buying the ticket, we're not even on the ride yet...that old foolish hope that's existed for 20+ years but it never paid out. I need it to shut up because it's only ever brought me more pain and this is the only way of salvation.

There are other ways to feel blissful, and if you would say that your suffering from thinking too much, dph is a proven method to that, but it may cause dementia and it lowers the iq,

And it's a allergy medicine that causes delusions, but it is a method.

Hi Skybroke, while I appreciate the thought I'm not planning on trying to do drugs it's just delaying the inevitable and will probably make my shitty life even worse.

I'm looking to CTB

I just think of how much different this life could have been if I didn't have Bipolar 1
