Hi, I just joined a few days ago and this is gonna get pretty long. I wanted to talk abt why I want to CTB. Not just why I'm suicidal but why I actually wanna do it.
I have both PTSD and C-PTSD, from psychological abuse from my dad that lasted until I moved out at 23 and from being raped by a on my college campus at 19. Because of the rape my grades plummeted (couldnt focus cause I was constantly triggered) and I never got a degree. I dropped out at 22 and got a job but could only keep it for 3 months. A couple months after that I was in the psych ward after pathetically (sorta) trying to ctb (i say sorta cause i really did not take it seriously or look up methods that well and i regretted it really quickly)
i stayed in the hospital for 5 months and they helped me leave my abusive dad which is great but living on my own has been impossible. i was put in a neighborhood thats very hard to get to which means what few friends i did keep after the hospital hardly visited me. i became a shut in, which has lead to health problems and chronic pain. ive been unemployed this whole time, up to now at 29 and i feel like a complete failure at life. i have no skills and no experience which means no jobs want me. and if no jobs want me then i am useless to society and i might as well be dead.
i know they say you shouldn't compare yourself to others but i feel like im the oldest and most pathetic person in my peer groups. my girlfriend is 5 years younger than me, which makes me feel disgusting sometimes. sometimes i wish i could be dead and she could just have all my things but she says she wouldn't like that.... she also has a lot going on with her mental health, honestly way more than me and i feel so guilty that I cant just tough it out for her.
so yeah ive been suicidal for a long time but in the past few months ive really thought that ctb might be possible for me. sometimes i flip though. its hard.
