I just became homeless a 5th time. I am trying to get into a shelter. I wanted to jump off the bay bridge but I cant afford the trip and it has nets now. I thought about cutting an artery in my neck and in my leg but I don't think I can. I wish I could do inert gas but that doesn't seem do able atm. I have type 1 diabetes.

I am thinking of these things:
Hypoglycemia
Dehydration
Starvation

I don't know if I can continue to not drink water but I feel I might be able to restrict till something happens. I understand I could have muscle convulsions, and kidney failure. But my biggest concern getting caught. Especially since I will likely be in a shelter.

What can I do to help not get caught? Say I have some kind of throat illness to explain my voice? Say I have severe depression and hope they don't discover me in bed on my last stretch? Do I leave and hide in a bush when I feel its getting too difficult to walk anymore?

Any advice is welcome.

I also have diabetes, and have also thought about just eating myself into a diabetic coma.

Im sorry to hear about your situation. I hope you're able to find a shelter.

I honestly wouldn't recommend starvation/dehydration especially surrounded by others. Im not familiar with how you would induce death from hypoglycemia.

If you're open to jumping you could search for a building close maybe. 150ft or higher and scope out the area you'd land to make sure you'd hit hard flat ground.

Hanging would work if you're comfortable with it. Could leave the shelter and find a secluded spot.

This time last year I was homeless as I had got out of prison on the 9th of December 2022 . I spent the last year trying to make up for a lot of my mistakes and a couple of days ago me and my ex (the love of my life) started talking again. I won't attempt to change your mind on anything you chose but it sounds like you're wanting to stop ending up in these situations and I feel that. If you want to talk you can message me. I do not mean to burst your bubble but the most you will be able to do by stopping food and drinking is ending up waking up in a hospital on tubes.

Watching this rn but not sure how successful that would be

I also have diabetes, and have also thought about just eating myself into a diabetic coma.
Wouldnt it be easier to have low glucose? My glucose levels seem to max out in the 500s bc im young. But just waiting for the glucose in my system to drain out then take insulin or just wait seems easier no?

Try going from church to church, they may be more caring of your situation than a random shelter. Best of luck friend.
