• Hey Guest,

    As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

I wish I had stumbled across this forum along time ago. But I suppose there is a reason I found it now. Because I know I have reached the end. I was born female. I have always felt different to most of my gender. I am almost 40 and I was moved around so much that I never lived anywhere for more than 1 year my entire life because my mother, as much as I love her, is emotionally unstable. It left me in a state of perpetual flux even well into adulthood. My only other sibling escaped early in age because she could hold it together much better than I could. She went off to Yale and made a family for herself and successful life. I had been depressed for so long because I hadn't achieved the same things although knowing I had the intellectual capabilities. But my hunger for human connection in the form of a group, of fitting in, had overshadowed every other thing in life until I realized I could never have it because I was robbed of stability. I had such a tragic life worth ending, but I kept pushing because I imagined money would solve my problems. So, I made a lot of it. And even after making over 200K/year from being ABSOLUTELY piss poor, I still felt the same pointlessness to life. Nothing changed. I got on antidepressants. It got me moving. Gave me a zest I lacked previously. But it didn't give life a point. It just allowed me to live in my distractions. I never chose to have children. But I was born into such a small family that I didn't anticipate that the choice to not build a family of my own would completely isolate and ostracize me because I also lacked a true support system. No support system, nomadic life so dizzying I wake up disoriented for at least 5 seconds wondering where I am everyday, no kids, no close family connections except for my mother who made my life this way, no partner (as I can't have a successful relationship with no friends and for a long time it was no friends and no money), nothing but wasting time outside of work. Work is my only social interaction. And it's superficial. I speak to people when I go and buy things. Or to my patients, as I am a nurse. I save lives because I could not save my own. And it is now coming to a close. But not because I am sad anymore and hopeless. Not because I am still in pain. I have accepted my solitude. But because I have done all I am meant to do in this lifetime for my lifetime. I made the money. I had the loves. I learned the lessons. I struggled but then I worked hard in the later part of my life and made something of myself. I drive a luxury car, live in a luxury apartment alone, and I go to work all so that I can come back home and sleep, eat, clean myself, and defecate comfortably. I recognize society pushes us to hold onto life as long as possible and have kids and strive for money, etc, all to keep this capitalist system afloat. If we all realized we were literally being distracted to death, we'd jump ship! Luckily for me, I was not filled with too much religious dogma to solidify the messages our society hopes will be ingrained enough to allow us to endure the worst pain and torture and still choose life, having faith it means something greater. Sadly, I literally studied all the religions in the world and there is no one in the sky that's going to give us some fancy life after life or whatever else we are told as kids so we fall in line. Life is perspective and can be whatever we choose. Belief is powerful but you can't trick your mind into believing something. You have to truly believe it.

But enough of my ramble. I puchased a 9mm handgun. I was going for the shotgun but I got sold on the handgun. Going with the hollow point ammunition. I know the exact method of insertion and angle as I have been researching for years and also familiar with anatomy. I won't detail it here only because I see so many sad souls who only need someone to talk to and may decide to do something on impulse and can't live with the fact that I may aid that indirectly. I don't judge the reasons for others to end their lives. But I only suggest it not be an impulse decision. My decision has literally been 16 years in the making (10 years to live and see if I was being dramatic) and 6 years of getting my life exactly where I wanted it to be before I went. Because I did not want my life to be a tragic story. We get to write our own stories and I wanted my story to be about how I overcame the physical abuse, nomadic life, sexual abuse, sexual assault, robbery, mugging, poverty, and I became a respectable member of the community as opposed to being consumed by it. Unfortunately, my life serves no more purpose and my few members of family will not be able to understand.

I hope to help them to understand in my last messages to them which I plan to convey my good spirits. Of course I am afraid but they won't know that. I want to ease their suffering as much as possible. And that is why I've held on this long. So I could die as someone my mother is proud of.

10 days until I can pick up my gun. Plenty of time for last minute affairs. :) I just am not sure where to end it. I live alone but no one would find me for months, I imagine. I have no one who checks on me. No one who calls me regularly. My phone never rings. In fact, when it does I know it is a business call or scammer. I also don't know if I want to be confined in a room. I think I want to be out in nature. Any suggestions on a location? I live in Southern California.

Thanks for reading.

Powerful and heart felt. Since I'm in the UK I can't suggest a location but I have in mind a headland looking out across the Pacific. I think many of us on here can read your story and nod. Alienation and a constant nagging feeling of never quite belonging. Mine stemmed from my homosexuality initially as I grew up in different times although to be honest I'm not a fan of modern homosexual lobbying and content bellyaching. I've never regretted or hated myself for being what I am and I think I have the mind that I would be like this regardless of sexuality and indeed sexual preference does not define who I am it us after all nothing but chemical brain reactions. I admire your calm well thought out argument and admire your planning. In the UK guns are hard to source unless you move in certain circles and I don't think I could do it that way; granted it's quick but I don't wish to cause others horror from finding a bloody scene. I do however want to say my heart is with you. This is not a place where we beg people not to - it's your life and your body and hence your choice. Whatever the outcome, please believe you are not alone.

Welcome and thanks for sharing your story. I relate to many things that you've written, including the parenting failures, the financial success achieved by burying myself in work and the resulting disillusionment, the emptiness/lies of religious dogma, the years spent trying to fit in before landing here, and the solitude. I also thought firearms were my method at one point. I'm sorry that you have suffered like I have.

I'm from the same area. Feel free to message me if you feel like talking.

Welcome, and nice first post, I really enjoyed the read. And damn, 10 years, and another 6? Crazy long time.

It's good that you got out of poverty and lived the life you wanted. Most people don't overcome the struggles you've had to endure. I've always liked Malibu and the water. I wish you good luck and safe travels when the time comes

I can certainly relate with being attracted to the same gender. I always struggled to label myself as anything. It's difficult to label yourself when you don't fit anywhere. I also don't have the same pressures to define myself since I'm constantly moving, even now as a travel nurse. Thank you for your words. I appreciate that I can speak my truth here and it be heard without judgment or aggression! It gives me peace. As far as those who may find me...If I do it in my car, it will likely be a trained professional who finds my car abandoned somewhere. I think that is better than a room that someone is bound to walk in on. I will definitely be thinking it through. Last piece to the puzzle for me.

Someone mentioned how beautiful Joshua Tree is. I have never seen it but that sounds like a great location because it wouldn't be too far from me. Thank you. :)

Thank so much for your words. Water brings me such peace! I definitely feel now like I need to have an ocean near me in the end. :)

Thank you for sharing your relatable story. Definitely always a bit of comfort when you feel someone can relate to your emotions. That is why I am so happy I found this outlet. Because I learned that it is pretty silly to speak of your plans to anyone you know if you are serious about them and not intending to cause pain and that in itself is very isolating. I am not sure how to message on here but feel free to message me and let me know where you stand these days. :)

Absolutely. Glad that you will have that comfort before you go. In the end my belief is that connection to other people is about the only meaning to be found in this life. I too made the mistake of trying to talk to people I trusted and paid a heavy price for it.

You will likely have to post a few more times before you are able to message (send or receive either one), it's a measure to prevent spam and such abuse. At that point you can hover over the member's name and choose 'start chat' (real time) or 'start conversation' (thread based like your post but private).

As for me I am pretty careful about how much I share on the forum since it is publicly visible and I've had some real life experiences I'd like to avoid repeating, but glad to share more in DM. The short story is I'm planning on an imminent check out myself. Just tying up affairs, as you wrote.

As to locations if you want water I'd suggest any of the state parks or beaches along the coast. I like to go out there and just listen to the tide roll in. I'll probably be indoors for the end with measures taken to protect whoever stumbles across me, just because I want there to be zero chance of being found early.

I agree about talking and sharing. Ultimately I too have been let down by talking to people. I love this site because no one judges, people listen and empathise. I think the one thing we all have in common is that we have broken free from the conditioning of society and religion which brainwashes us into believing and accepting life at any cost. I have no duty to society or human taboos around suicide. For me suicide is as natural as choosing to do any other thing in life. Life lived for its own ends is not life. This is why keeping the elderly alive because we can is cruel - given a choice most would opt to end it.

I agree 100%. For people who don't understand, such a confession seems to be an opportunity to try forcing you to see things their way. Or worse, making a bunch of unfounded assumptions and taking action without further discussion. Such was my experience.

I view religion as a crutch for people who can't handle the unknown and need everything packaged up neatly. Any thorough process of rational and critical thinking I think arrives at this same conclusion, that self-determination should be an absolute right when suffering outweighs the will to live. A telling statistic is that doctors who are personally involved with end of life care are far more likely to be pro-choice than the general population, and less likely to want the lives of their loved ones extended artificially through extraordinary medical means. We do it for our pets, but so many are still opposed to granting that same mercy to human beings and yet somehow believe their position just.

Thank you so much for sharing. I likely won't be posting again. I don't want to take others through the experience. But I have decided on my car so that I will hopefully be found by a trained professional. As a nurse, I deal with death and it is not as scary or traumatic a thing for most of us. Police officers deal with their share of gore as well. As long as I can feel I won't be found by a layperson, I will feel better.

I understand your reservations with messaging publicly. I wish us a smooth transition friend.

It is a tragic thing indeed. People are mostly brainwashed. Through the media and through societal pressures that arise from mass media becoming public opinion. It's a vicious cycle of misinformation geared toward sustaining a capitalist system that needs bodies who compete with one another in order to thrive. So more babies, more years to life unnecessarily, fears created around a natural process such as death, etc. Human beings have shown that allowing people to go peacefully is possible. But it is not profitable. And that is all governments care about. How we translate into dollars. Our lives are actually worthless to them beyond what we consume monetarily. That is why viruses can be manufactured to manipulate the economy regardless of the lives taken. I digress. Ugh. I just am ready to get off the spinning wheel. 9 more days!!

I agree 1000%! To come across those who, as you say, have broken free, honestly feels like the best closure. I can feel that this is finally my time and the other times I felt it may have been time, I was left feeling I needed more closure. Validation is powerful. Helps us to feel sane in a world that wants us to believe we are selfish and ill if we choose to end life. Truly those who ask us to hold on and suffer are being selfish. Suicidal ideation is the ultimate gaslighted topic.

I am so sorry life has led you to this point. It sounds like you did your research already and made up your mind. I think if you are going to ctb with firearms, you should do it far away from others as possible just as a precaution.

Why don't you take a week vacation and drive to norcal? There are tons of nice, secluded forests and parks here. You don't have to make up your mind. Just being out in nature might help you clear your mind. No matter what you decide.

Thanks for reading.
In terms of the not being found for a while part, I'm in a similar situation. I'm planning to write an email to my local police department and put a delay send on it for the next day. So I CTB and then at a minimum I'm carted out the next day and at least the police/responders would be prepared for what they walk into
