Discussion Why are you here/What is your problem?

[misanthropist]

I've been suicidal since I was 8 years old, and have attempted numerous times since 12 years old.
I had always wondered, "surely, there's SOMEWHERE on the internet where people discuss this kind of thing" (became frustrated with not finding answers to genuine questions- pro-lifers)
Stumbled across this forum several months back and was observing quietly (recently made my account!) it's been incredibly helpful and I don't feel alienated here.

 

[Always-in-trouble]

I am really disturbed despite having relatively low trauma. Don't why I am still alive and holding out for others when I am no good anyways.

mid life crisis and loneliness

 

[sick&tired]

Physical illness. I want to be here. I have the most amazing friends and family. My life was good, but my body hates me & I cannot go on just existing this way </3

I failed in life, and that led to financial problems.

 

[inconclusivesorbet]

I went through a manic episode psychosis and did so many things I regret
I dont feel like I deserve to get better so its best to end the suffering and shame

I read No Longer Human and really related. I don't regret it.

I am thinking of reading The Setting Sun next. Feel free to talk to me about Dazai if you wish. His book was interesting in a way I never related to before.

Ah! Ah!! Yes! Indeed! PM me if you wish to speak about Dazai! I have many opinions! I recommend his shorter works next, rather than another long novel like The Setting Sun. Putting Granny Out to Die is about a failed double suicide attempt, it is one of my favorites.
