What was the first thing that put you on the ctb path?

[_Minsk]

For me it was when I started to have serve back pain, it forced me to stop doing sports. It ruined my relationships, took my first gf and led me into Isolation. Wasn't the only thing but it was the first big one that changed my path completely.
What about you?

Losing my best and only friend

 

[VeryShy]

Severe, debilitating mental illness.

 

[Praestat_Mori]

A big failure in life that ultimately led to mainly financial problems and it was already clear that an acceptable recovery (from my POV) is impossible. At first it led only to passive suicidal ideation but as each attempt to recover failed in the years thereafter it became active suicidal ideation with a method readily prepared. Currently I'm hardly suicidal bc things calmed down but by any means it's not a recovery.

Puberty

Started with school and me knowing it's a waste of my life and time, then I thought hey spending most of my life working is a shitty way to live. Things were downhill from there.
