just want to see if other people are experiencing this. attempted this year, things have been going downhill, in total i suffer more now than i suffered before the attempt. im fatigued daily and more depressed/anhedonic than ever, as well as dissociating every second. to me, attempt is anything where someone came close to ctb. even just going to the location counts if a person had the desire to ctb there, and they didn't proceed for whichever reason at the time.

Things have got far worse for me, I dearly wish I'd succeeded but now can't try again because I know how much I hurt my parents. Now I'm just stuck in this eternal misery.

Curious as to why you out "got worse" and "stayed the same" together. Those are quite different outcomes.

I have a recurring thought, it would have been better if I had succeeded.

Everyone tells me how sad everyone would be if I had CTB, the only person who thinks it would have been better for me to be gone is … me!
