Yeah have most of my note and wishes written in my head, just haven't put on paper yet. I am trying to have some hope to get better but idk. What is have lost and the pain I struggle with everyday it is a wonder I haven't gone through with ctb before. Last xmas I was close but I had an uncle that ctb's days after xmas, it jolted me out of it for a while.
I've always been suicidal. But nothing brought me to it until right now. First time I ever was, I was 18; I had gathered all kinds of pills I could find, put some matches in there along with some cigarettes to smoke whilst dying. But my sibling found them and I had to lie and say they weren't mine. Second time, I was 21. My family and I became homeless living from hotel to hotel; barely affording food, etc. I was dead set, I had written out the notes and such, but didn't have a plan really, I didn't have a method planned out. but I decided against that, I could make it through. Then again in 2022, I had shaved my hair, and tried cleansing my self and nothing worked, I felt myself going deeper and deeper. I once again, began writing my letters and trying to pray the pain away; nothing worked. But somehow I began to hope again. But again in June 2023, this was my darkest time. I relapsed in self harm after being clean for 5 years, horribly I was cutting everyday. It was the only release to move the pain somewhere else. That's when I discovered this website. That's when I began researching ways, learning about SN and partial hanging, etc. but then I got scared because I was close to doing it. I had kept thinking I want to cut my wrists, over and over again. So I reached out for help, wanted to get a psych evaluation, and they decided that I didn't need a psychiatric hold and sent me home. From that day on, I've been clean from self harm (cutting) and I was doing better as I was put on Zoloft, then Zoloft wasn't helping. Then I began Wellbutrin, and that's not helping either. The urges are worse and the suicidal thoughts are worse. I honestly think I'll go through with it
I wish you well with your plans kittykat. CTB does indeed require a lot of thought and planning.
A part of me feels like I've been planning this since I was 18.
