For the first time in 4 months, but it was pretty uneventful. I looked pretty awful so I wasn't comfortable with making eye contact or conversation with others, I prioritised going out pretty early on when not many people were about. The downside to that was everything being closed, so I just sorta wandered around hopping between buses. I've never really gone out much at any point in my life, but today I felt the repercussions of staying indoors for so long. I tripped over myself so many times due to my eyesight and depth perception being so scuffed and adjusted to one small room. I'd just start staring into space for several minutes forgetting I was in public. I wouldn't say my experience made me feel any worse, or made me regret going outdoors, but it moreso just sorta put how I've been living into perspective. I might've been singing a different tune if I had to actually run into a lot of people, most likely. One thing that sucked was that some dude puked on the last bus I took home, poor guy but the whole bus smelt awful for an excruciating 20 minutes. I actually did manage to go to a Boots towards the end lol, my cash got jammed in the self checkout so I stood there for a minute processing it, and then decided to leave without getting my stuff. As I turned away a worker noticed and helped me out lol. The experience didn't really change anything for me, but.. it is the most interesting day I've had in a while

Props for managing to go outside after so long. I have been in that situation too and I know how hard it can be. It might not really have done anything for you but at least it wasn't a negative experience either. Just getting to do something might make you feel a bit better even if it isn't immediate, and if not at least you had an interesting day

It's very much understandable preferring to go outside when there aren't many people around, crowded places really are horrible to me and best avoided. But anyway best of luck.

I had this too from the same thing. It was honestly pretty scary seeing how I couldn't tell how far away stuff was, I didn't expect it. After going out every day for a week or so it did improve though, so I'd recommend at least just going outside your house for a bit each day if you want to improve that.
I think being in one small room for so long is bad for your neurological health, it caused my psychosis to get much worse very quickly and I think isolation is a contributing factor to developing schizophrenia.

I am sure isolation was one factor contributing to my psychotic episode last year, that and heavy drug abuse. Doctors just let me walk out of the hospital even after telling them I would probably kill myself. The voices and hallucinations have gone, but the delusions have not, I am really lost here. Slowly pushing myself to go out, and try to interact, maybe this will help, but if this is early schizophrenia maybe I'm screwed regardless.

I had a very, very similar experience. I think heavy drug use from childhood and isolation have contributed significantly (if not caused) it. I have no genetic predisposition to schizophrenia specifically, but my father's side is littered with severe genetic mental and physical illness.
I agree, the psychosis seems to go but the delusions don't. I went out earlier today in a really good mood with great weather and for some reason (manic bpd moodswing maybe?) I thought it'd be a good idea to go back to one of the places I attempted suicide and it just ruined my entire day. I don't even know why I thought that was a good idea, it was completely delusion thinking. One good day out of hundreds of bad ones and I think I'm invincible and cured. Clearly not. I hope I can go out again tomorrow, but I'll ensure to remember not to trust myself if I'm in an unusually good mood.
You're right about developing schizophrenia too, if I have to be put on antipsychotics then I will ctb instead, I'm not even going to try them, their side effects are horrible and I just know it'd make my already bad anhedonia worse than ever. But mostly, I don't want to accept that I'd need them to function. What's the point in functioning if its tied to major tranquilisers? I'd rather die than have any of those.

I hope it does help, for both of us. I don't know if it's enough or if it's reversible but I hope it is.
I'd like to enjoy one last summer to its fullest extent before I go... That's basically all I have left I actually want out of my life. See my friends again, experience the sun on my skin, the breeze, the sky, the stars...
I hope I can make it that far.

@Walpurgisnacht I do believe we are in a similar boat, I also have no genetic predisposition to this illness, none of my family suffer from this, but I feel myself falling into this rabbit hole, and it only seems to be getting progressively worse as time goes on. I can't cope much longer with these delusions, it has destroyed my life and made every waking moment nothing but pain and confusion, but it is comforting to have a way out, an idea I have played with for some years, but I feel I will need to commit soon, as this situation may be beyond a simple chemical band-aid. I understand how you feel with these spikes of mania, feeling like a glimmer of hope in an endless abyss, another cruel joke from the universe on us. I will also go out for a ride just to break the fking monotony of staring at the wall like a loon. In truth I know I will pass before this condition worsens, but if it were to ever reach the point of me needing to take pills, I would just ride to the nearest overpass and y'know.. splat. I'm not sure if I'm also dealing with anhedonia or just straight up depression, either way, I find joy in nothing any more, not for a long time, getting drunk helps, I can't afford any good drugs any more, and maybe that's for the best.

Summer is coming round soon, I may be here to enjoy it, the past 8 or so were just spent inside, maybe I can enjoy this last one before I go, no one to enjoy it with, but at least it will be warm lol. It's so cold and drab, and I'm sick of the endless rain dripping through the ceiling.

Yeah you're right. I have a lot of mixed feelings about my drug use, but at the very least it took the pain away I guess... I feel like I lost so much time to heroin though, and the time I lost should've been the best years of my life. But I spent them laying in bed strung out of my mind doing nothing... It feels like such a waste, but at the same time I was so desperate for anything to make it stop, and I still felt too guilty to commit to suicide then; the drugs also made me so apathetic I stopped even thinking I needed to die, until I experienced the withdrawals of running out without being able to get more. Now it's fucked my body and health up even more than ever, so I'm not sure if it was worth it in the end, but at least there was a time I wasn't in pain I guess...

I understand how you feel with these spikes of mania, feeling like a glimmer of hope in an endless abyss, another cruel joke from the universe on us.
Yeah, it's really such a joke. Like, I have such rapid bpd mood swings but mania isn't happiness, it's just the opposite side of extreme depression... It makes me do stupid shit I regret, and then my mood swings back down and I'm just left with the aftermath in anxiety and fear and trauma and... Existence is just so unbalanced. The opposite of depression isn't happiness, it's mania, which is really just as bad. There's no analogue for an opposite at all. Everything is skewed to make it far easier to suffer and far harder to not.

but if it were to ever reach the point of me needing to take pills, I would just ride to the nearest overpass and y'know.. splat. I'm not sure if I'm also dealing with anhedonia or just straight up depression, either way, I find joy in nothing any more, not for a long time, getting drunk helps, I can't afford any good drugs any more, and maybe that's for the best.
Yeah... When I had a particularly bad mood swing last year I went to a bridge over the highway, took enough benzos to make me lose my balance at least if not suppress SI enough to make me jump, and waited to fall into the path of a couple trucks. It was working too, I was starting to lose my footing on the railing, before some "heroes" swooped in and manhandled me over the side of the railing without my consent before calling the cops... It was not only traumatic, but just humiliating. What makes people think they have the right to just pick up and princess-carry a girl they don't know? I hated that so much. It would've worked... Eh, I guess I shouldn't dwell on it... After I was grabbed first the cars and trucks started swerving out of my path, and at that point I thought I'd probably survive it and just be maimed anyway. So... Eh.

I think anhednoia is a symptom more than an actual disease itself, it can be cause by many things; substance withdrawal, many kinds of depression, personality disorders, probably a bunch of other things.
I also found I completely lost interest in the one thing that gave my worthless life any meaning, which was my music. I tried, I still try. But I just can't enjoy it like I used it. It's jut not there. I at least want to finish one last song to describe myself, my life, my emotions, and try to convey the reason I made the choice that I made, since I can't ever seem to write a suicide note that can encapsulate that. If I don't finish it, I'll still upload it, it's coherent enough right now, but it'd be nice to be able to. Maybe one day I'll wake up with the motivation and it'll last long enough for me to find some enjoyment again, but it's been years now... My hope for that is slim, I can still force myself to do it but it's just not the same. What's the point if it's not satisfying to me...

I honestly would recommend you stay away from any opioids (like heroin) or other downers (alcohol, benzos, etc.) unless you only use them for CTB with no prior tolerance. They are extremely dangerous in many ways especially for suicidal people I think. Heroin made me feel like I didn't want to die anymore, like everything was perfect, and before I knew it it'd been months and I had done nothing but lay in bed high. Then years... And the worst part was my tolerance was so high I couldn't even use it to OD on to die anymore... It tricks you into thinking that everything is good actually. And then you end up with unspeakably horrible withdrawals and terrible health problems and you wonder where the last sliver of your life slipped away to...
the past 8 or so were just spent inside, maybe I can enjoy this last one before I go, no one to enjoy it with, but at least it will be warm lol. It's so cold and drab, and I'm sick of the endless rain dripping through the ceiling.
Yeah I understand... Last year was the first time I actually went out in summer at all. And I actually liked it to my complete surprise, I never had thought I would before then. Before I'd always just keep the blinds down and drink a lot of cold drinks. But that year my friend from the US wanted me to come travel with him around my country and other European ones and I thought I'd regret not taking that opportunity. I was skeptical of if I'd enjoy it at all, but it was such a shock that I did.
Lately I've felt different. I've enjoyed the sun against my entirely vampiric-white skin. And I think, I want to do the kind of summery activities most people do when it's summer at least once for the full season. I want to go out dressed nicely in summer clothes, I want to sit in nature and read, I want to appreciate the birdsong and the warm evenings and the cool breezes and being able to watch the stars when it's not freezing or muddy everywhere.
I only had a month or so to do it last year, but this year I just want to try and make the most of it. It went from being my least favourite season to being my favourite season very quickly. I hadn't even owned any summer clothes before. But wearing a nice summer dress and hat and experiencing nature was actually such a nice experience I would like to be able to do it again if I can.

I also have mixed feelings about my usage, I can't exactly lie, but I enjoyed using drugs a lot, but in retrospect this did have a profoundly negative impact on present cove, though, I don't think I was thinking so far ahead.. I did use heroin for a few years, that was a really abusive relationship, but this was mixed and interspersed with a whole bunch of other substances, none of which had a positive effect. Takes the pain away, makes the moment somewhat enjoyable, sure, but at what cost? Now I am just an empty shell of a person. So much time we can't get back, not that it'll matter..
I have such rapid bpd mood swings but mania isn't happiness, it's just the opposite side of extreme depression
I'm really sorry that you have to suffer this way, I do experience manic days, but not to this extent, I can't imagine how difficult it must be to deal with this every day. If you wanted someone to talk to about it I can listen if it will help at all, though I have severe anxiety, I can try
When I had a particularly bad mood swing last year I went to a bridge over the highway, took enough benzos to make me lose my balance at least if not suppress SI enough to make me jump, and waited to fall into the path of a couple trucks.

It was not only traumatic, but just humiliating. What makes people think they have the right to just pick up and princess-carry a girl they don't know? I hated that so much.
Any idea what caused such a mood swing? I have experienced them, to the point of only preparing to depart, in both cases I ended up just trying to destroy any trace of my existence, selling my property, burning personal things etc.. idk why I have a fixation on it, but I do. In any case, it sounds like an awful experience, and not a way I would like to go. I think about jumping often but I'm pretty scared of heights, I think I'd have to be on some benzos too. I'm sorry that you were treated like that, but I'm they probably ust thought they were doing the right thing by trying to save someone. they had no idea what you are going through, or feeling, or the circumstances that led to you being where you were, doing what you were doing. Still, I believe people should have the right to do as they choose, so long as others do not suffer as a result
I also found I completely lost interest in the one thing that gave my worthless life any meaning, which was my music. I tried, I still try. But I just can't enjoy it like I used it. It's jut not there. I at least want to finish one last song to describe myself, my life, my emotions, and try to convey the reason I made the choice that I made, since I can't ever seem to write a suicide note that can encapsulate that.
Same here, I used to love to play guitar just to pass the time, but I lost interest in this after the post-withdrawal depression hit like a truck, I never got over it, and still find no motivation to play. Also listening to music, I find less joy in it, but sometimes it's nice to pass the time, or evoke some emotion, however artificial. Did you ever write any music? I can't say that I ever wrote anything coherent or worthwhile, but it's a nice time sink, as for leaving a note, as stated previously I intend to leave no traces, I really wouldn't want to, I have nothing left to say and nobody that really needs to hear it
I honestly would recommend you stay away from any opioids (like heroin) or other downers (alcohol, benzos, etc.) unless you only use them for CTB with no prior tolerance. They are extremely dangerous in many ways especially for suicidal people I think. Heroin made me feel like I didn't want to die anymore, like everything was perfect, and before I knew it it'd been months and I had done nothing but lay in bed high.
Yeah, it's a bit late for that, my tolerance is pretty damn high and that ain't gonna change, I think it would be wise to recommend against using such drugs for any alleviation of suffering(unless ODing ofc), it does not last, and will only lead to more needless suffering. With heroin everything was perfect, I know how that is, living in hell and prancing through the flames like a carefree child on a warm summers eve, and to feel the illusion come crashing down is a horrible feeling, recently I've been thinking about using again.. finding old needles and just remembering the whole ritual was enough to make me crave it, I dunno, I might cave
Yeah I understand... Last year was the first time I actually went out in summer at all. And I actually liked it to my complete surprise, I never had thought I would before then. Before I'd always just keep the blinds down and drink a lot of cold drinks.
I'm glad that you had a nice time, It's really no fun sitting inside all day during summer, it's really the most liveliest of seasons, I hope that I can enjoy this summer too, and I wish the same for you. No idea what I'm gonna do, or where I'll go, I have little experience with this stuff, just spending time in nature sounds like fun, or just reading under a tree in the shade, I'm almost looking forward to something. Seems like the perfect time to depart, too, I can't think of a more beautiful way to go than to fade with the summer sun, if there was ever a time to do it, I think it'd be then, I am really considering it, I already have a few places in mind, we'll see what happens.
Lately I've felt different. I've enjoyed the sun against my entirely vampiric-white skin. And I think, I want to do the kind of summery activities most people do when it's summer at least once for the full season.

Apologies for poor writing, I am utterly drained and it is a real struggle to get much out at all. also, thank you for your reply, I appreciate it very much.
See you around

I lost interest in this after the post-withdrawal depression hit like a truck
Yeah... I remember when I first tried going cold-turkey, it was the worst month of my adult life. I had such bad anhedonia I was just screaming to feel something. It was the reason I fucked my last relationship up, it was the reason I stopped doing anything. I just hated it, but I was at least committed to staying clean, until Christmas hit and all the stress of my family making me do all this dumb shit and all this gift receiving for a holiday I don't even celebrate and being taken to churches despite none of us being religious like, that season is always the worst most stressful time. And I caved and relapsed right before we went out to the church. Since my tolerance had dropped I ended up feeling really nauseous, so i went outside and just passed out. My father had to carry me home. Since then I haven't tried to quit cold-turkey again, but I have had various successes with other treatment options once I finally decided to give it a try. Some were more effective than others, and some were really horrible, but god I hate December for that reason alone now.

Also listening to music, I find less joy in it, but sometimes it's nice to pass the time, or evoke some emotion, however artificia
Yeah I know what you mean. Heroin always made music sound so ethereally beautiful it's all I would do is lay in bed and listen to music. It's such a shame because I used to enjoy music a lot before all this, and now there's just certain songs I like I just can't listen to because all they do is give me cravings and make me miss it.

Did you ever write any music? I can't say that I ever wrote anything coherent or worthwhile, but it's a nice time sink
Well I make electronic music, that was kinda my hobby since I was 16. I liked sound-design a lot, and having no job or school meant I could spend all day every day learning it. It was so fun back then. Ironically, I started out as a happy-hardcore producer lol. Nowadays I can't write anything at all in a major key, I just never feel it anymore. Nowadays I make experimental breakcore/drum'n'bass and it's always really dark and, I think if someone looked through my discography they could see the decline of my mental state over time just by the style of music I took on making.
finding old needles and just remembering the whole ritual was enough to make me crave it
God, yeah... I know the feeling. I have to take semi-regular injections myself and just getting the air bubbles out always made me remember the acid and spoon and mixing and, well you know it... I can't even look at a tourniquet anymore without getting cravings. I hate how much it's permiated almost all aspects of my life. I have such horrible environmental associations or where I'd do it, of being dopesick starting out the window for hours waiting for the postman and praying and hoping he'd deliver my package. Just seeing a red van makes me remember involuntary withdrawal now too. I can't get rid of these associations they're so strong, even the smell of certain rooms makes me remember...
I'm almost looking forward to something. Seems like the perfect time to depart, too, I can't think of a more beautiful way to go than to fade with the summer sun
Yeah, I'm definitely with you on that.
I want to try to make the most of it if I can. I can't tell if another terrible thing will happen to me and make me go sooner but honestly after this summer I think I'll probably be ready to go with very few regrets that I care about. This is basically the last thing I want to try to get some nice experiences/memories from. Not that the memories will last long lol. I suppose there's always a chance something will somehow improve and I'll reconsider but for now at least I don't think I'll live to next winter.
I'm getting more and more ready to ctb as time goes on, the guilt isn't enough to keep me anymore, and I'm finally finding peace in how I want to go out. I think I've had my fill of life as much as I managed to. I tried my best... I dunno, maybe things will change, I don't wanna make a concrete plan so far before, but I think it's actually likely this will be the year now.

Thanks for talking, your posts have been interesting, thank you.
I wish you the best of luck dear. I'm sorry you've had to deal with this shit, it's really so horrible... Heroin is just... It really does just permanently fuck your brain up I think. I wish I'd just ODed when I first got it like I planned to originally.

@Walpurgisnacht
I quit cold turkey a few times, which was rough, so I can certainly understand how you felt, though my experience wasn't
as bad as some of the horror stories you hear about cold turkey detox, as I never used continuously for more than a few
months at a time before stopping, then starting again, or abusing something else altogether. After H it was just large amounts of
RC benzos as it was dirt cheap, easy to get and better than alcohol. Drug abuse ruined my mind and I think this is one
of my biggest regrets, and I know I can't undo the damage, this is one reason to CTB.

I'm glad that you've found a treatment option that works for you, I don't know a whole lot about them as I've never had the need,
is there any reason why you found some to be better than others?

I agree about the music sounding especially wonderful on it, though I find I can experience a lot of enjoyment while sober, though,
it would have to be a particularly spectacular piece of music! Unfortunately I'm running out of new things to listen to, and lacking any
motivation to discover any, however I do like happy hardcore and breakcore, though I don't much feel like dancing lol, there's a load of
dark sounding breakcore online which I enjoy, it fits well with my mood and hyperactive thoughts, if you wanted to share something you've produced
I'd be happy to listen, I think I have unlocked messages now so that's nice, but if not that's cool, I get it.

As for summer, I think it'll be interesting, I will try and make the most of it. Today the rain finally let up, and there was some sun,
so I decided to make the most of it, mostly riding and sitting in the woods. I read a little in the shade of a tree in the cemetary, a little morbid but
I think it's appropriate given what's to come lol. I'm slowly beginning to accept it too, becoming more comfortable with the idea. The guilt played on my mind for a while, but
I'm beginning to accept that I will need to push this aside, I was never consulted before being dragged here, I don't see why I need
to justify my exit. So some may suffer for a while, but this is really an inevitability.
It's not a rushed decision to CTB, it's been a few years of ideation with a growing contempt for this life, compounded with
substance abuse and isolation, I think it will be best for me. I'm gonna get prepared and find the materials I need soon, so we'll see


I did OD a few times alone, I think, it was enough to blackout and go cold, so almost maybe? I was thinking of using heroin to OD,
probably mixed with some other cocktail of downers, I reckon it'd work just fine. But if SN is cheap then I don't mind either way.

Thanks for the sincerity, it's been a pleasure. Good luck to you in your future endeavors, whichever path you decide is best.

of my biggest regrets, and I know I can't undo the damage, this is one reason to CTB.
Yeah, same. I wasted away so much of my life from it. And it should've been the best time of my life, but I wasted it all just being either strung out or too sick constantly.
I'm glad that you've found a treatment option that works for you, I don't know a whole lot about them as I've never had the need,
is there any reason why you found some to be better than others?
Mmm, well the current one I'm on is a monthly injection of slow-release buprenorphine and this one works very, very well. Methadone is better for supplementing people who aren't ready to want to commit to stopping using yet, and sublingual buprenorphine didn't work for me because it wore off so quickly and harshly and dumb laws made it so I had to take daily trips to the pharmacy which meant I couldn't go anywhere out of that range without a massive pain in the ass organising pharmacy transfers and shit. So if I woke up and had a super shitty morning, I would just use heroin instead. I never managed more than two weeks clean on that unfortunately. But the injections are really good, they're also very flexible.
I agree about the music sounding especially wonderful on it, though I find I can experience a lot of enjoyment while sober, though,
it would have to be a particularly spectacular piece of music! Unfortunately I'm running out of new things to listen to, and lacking any
motivation to discover any, however I do like happy hardcore and breakcore, though I don't much feel like dancing lol, there's a load of
dark sounding breakcore online which I enjoy, it fits well with my mood and hyperactive thoughts, if you wanted to share something you've produced
I'd be happy to listen, I think I have unlocked messages now so that's nice, but if not that's cool, I get it.
You can message me whenever if you wanna, sure~ I am not active on here super often, but I will reply when I see them. I'm not really sure if I wanna post my stuff on a public forum just because it could be used to identify me pretty easy and I know this place is a target for doxers a lot. It might just be paranoia but I really don't wanna deal with that possibility, sorry.
When I ctb I'll have a timed thread that'll probably link to my last song in it, but I don't think that'll be soon.
As for summer, I think it'll be interesting, I will try and make the most of it. Today the rain finally let up, and there was some sun,
so I decided to make the most of it, mostly riding and sitting in the woods. I read a little in the shade of a tree in the cemetary,
Cemetaries are weirdly tranquil I find... I guess because no one else just sits down in them. I don't know if that's disrespectful to do but I kinda don't care either, no one has got mad at me for it before and it's not like I'm defiling graves or something.
Reading in the shade on a summer's day was so nice... I tried to do it every morning for the latter half of last summer and I think it really did improve my mental health when I did. It was nice to just slip some nice clothes on, not have to wear 5 layers of clothes and scarves and hats and just sit listening to the birdsong, feeling the breezes, and reading. I wanna do that again before I die if I can. If not, then it's not like I'm missing out on too much, but if possible I would like to again.
a little morbid but
I think it's appropriate given what's to come lol. I'm slowly beginning to accept it too, becoming more comfortable with the idea. The guilt played on my mind for a while, but
I'm beginning to accept that I will need to push this aside, I was never consulted before being dragged here, I don't see why I need
to justify my exit.
You're very right about that. I thought about it a lot, and, well, if suicide really is selfish like so many people assert; I think we who have been selfishly dragged into existence and selflessly endured it for so long deserve to be a bit selfish ourselves at least once, no? I don't believe it is selfish myself, but even if it is, that's okay.
So some may suffer for a while, but this is really an inevitability.
It's not a rushed decision to CTB, it's been a few years of ideation with a growing contempt for this life, compounded with
substance abuse and isolation, I think it will be best for me. I'm gonna get prepared and find the materials I need soon, so we'll see
Yeah... I have been suicidal for basically my whole life, and I think it's taken me a really long time to really understand it. I don't think I'm totally there yet, but I think I am close enough to be tentatively confident that I won't live to the next winter. Realistically, even if nothing else goes wrong for me, I've kinda done pretty much everything I wanted out of my life at this point anyway, I'm just waiting now. So, I guess yeah, we'll see. Maybe I will change my mind for some reason, but I haven't felt this close to peace ever, it's a strange feeling to process.

I hope you can find peace and closure dear... I am truly sorry it turned out like this for you.
Thanks for the sincerity, it's been a pleasure. Good luck to you in your future endeavors, whichever path you decide is best.
Likewise <3
It was nice talking to you, I think you seem like an interesting and kind person, so I'm glad I got to. Thank you.

I wish you the best, now and always.

You did so well to go outside - how do you feel now, a few days after? I am so happy that you got yourself out and even into a shop, even if only for a short period of time. That is fantasticšŸ˜Š

I feel pretty good about it, I've been trying to go outside everyday since, early in the morning when too many people aren't around.
