Set my date. No hope left.

[DansDanu]

Hi everyone, so I'm newish to the forum but I've lurked for a while. I've had schizoaffective for most of my life and between the economy and my severe anhedonia, binge eating disorder and ME/CFS my life sucks so much that I can barely get out of bed nor function. I can't even make a PB&J sandwich or play video games for more than 15 minutes anymore. I am obese because of the meds and my disorders causing me to avoid cooking and prefer junk food. I've tried to lose weight but I've failed repeatedly and it's broken me. My family are all narcissistic alcoholics who abused/neglected me starting at 10 years old. I'm on court ordered treatment because of my last suicide attempt where I started a fire trying the carbon monoxide method. Not only that but if I don't do 10 hours volunteer work and write my dad an apology letter, I may go to jail. I'm such a failure though cause I'm struggling insanely even with that tiny bit of work. I have decided that I will CTB on September 3rd, after my niece and nephews birthday party. (Their birthday is in late August on the same day.) This time I will use the night-night method, I have the cornhole bags ordered. Wish I had how to do that method before I had started the fire, ugh fml. I have read a lot of your stories and I wish you all the best and relief from your suffering. Will hang around until my exit date and try to contribute.

Hey, I'm so sorry that you're going through this and I wish you nothing but the best. Please be careful with the night night method. Specifically, it seems to be good in theory but it also seems to be something that people fail relatively easily. I have not heard any successful executions of it. Why didn't you do the CO2 method with a portable generator?

My Plan B is hanging myself in the bathroom with a necktie (even got kneepads to make partial suspension easier, cause obesity has wrecked my knees), and my plan C is hyperventilating + drowning in the lake nearby. I've read all the resource threads already so I'm prepared. In an apartment building now so inert gas of any kind is a no-go, not risking that again.

Oh yeah, that makes total sense. You may be able to get cornhole bags somewhere like Home Depot, but not 100% on that.

Ugh so you were right, I just got the cornhole bags and did a test run, using that method with gorilla tape is awkward af. I guess hanging is Plan A now, can't argue with a method that has been around since the days of the Bible.

It sounds like you've suffered a lot, I hope that you eventually find the peace you search for, best wishes.

So sorry mate
I can relate in many ways
Similar diagnosis and struggle with overweight.
2 years ago I was all the way up to almost 180 kg
I know your only issue wasn't just with overweight, but thought I'd share this

After first time I almost CTB I stopped caring, kind of wanted to eat myself to death
Junk food all the time
I managed to lose insane ammount of weight in just a couple of months though
I might as well leave here what actually worked for me
KETO and one meal a day
I know that probably sounds absolutely impossible.
The cravings for food are insane when you eat junk food
It sounded absolutely impossible to me, but it wasn't really hard
You basically eat 1 meal a day. But only stuff like meat/fats/eggs/low carb vegetables.
When you don't eat carbs, you won't get very hungry
The body normally use carbs are fuel, but when you stop eating carbs, the body will shift to using your fat as fuel instead.

The fat will fly off you
You don't have to do one meal a day. 2 or 3 meals a day will also help. As long as you structure it so you have longer periods with fasting, then can work your way down to 1 meal if you like.
Might as well see if it was something. Junk food also have a really negative effect on mental health.

There's also these new weight loss drugs. They basically have the same effect, they make you less hungry so you lose weight while fasting.
I would highly reccommend the first method I reccommended though, but if you don't have the energy for trying, might be worth a consideration.

There's options to lose weight.
The standard advices to losing weight are freaking dumb
They basically ask you to starve yourself to death
No wonder people fail
The conspiracist in me sometimes wonder if it's on purpose
Anyway ...

I know you wasn't asking for advice on this, but thought it couldn't hurt to share

I appreciate the advice but I'm a starchatarian (a vegetarian who hates vegetables) so that would be extremely difficult for me. Plus there is way, way too much BS going on in my life for me to let go of my stress eating habit. I missed my flight for the birthday party this morning because my dad screwed me over with my ride to the airport (he was over an hour late even though I called him twice beforehand, and then he tried to say it was my fault ) so I may be hanging myself tonight. I hate this world so much. I just want the pain to go away.
