For a while I thought I was done with all this suicide business. After scrolling through this site I realized how hard it is to successfully commit suicide so I gave up on the idea. Short of a firearm (don't have one and don't know how to use one) or jumping in front of a speeding train (messy and not guaranteed) I can't find a method that is at least 99% definite.
A bit about me: I'm currently living on SSI (disability $794 a month) and food stamps (about $200 a month). A year ago my daughter convinced me to open up a joint bank account with her. She told me it would help me with my credit score. After a year of her paychecks going into and out of the account, not only did I learn that it wouldn't help me with my credit score, but I also learned that if social security or social services finds out about this account (quite possible even though it's now been closed) I run the risk of losing my benefits and even being charged with welfare fraud (a felony punishable by up to 7 years in prison and a lifetime label of felon. Good luck getting a job). The state won't care about the fact that this was my daughter's money going in and out of that account. If I had access to it it's considered my income. Unreported income.
Now everyday I'm living in fear that the police are going to show up and arrest me. When the mail comes I dread finding a letter from social security or social services requesting past bank statements. I just can't live like this anymore.
I was seriously considering sodium nitrite a couple of months ago but I had a very hard time finding it here in the U.S. I wrote a lengthy suicide note to my children and posted it here looking for advice on how to improve it. I received many replies and when all was said and done I changed my mind about ctb and checked myself into a hospital. I spent 12 days there and was discharged into the sober house where I've lived for the past 18 months. I have nowhere else to go.
Three of my five children have stopped speaking to me. They are fed up with my mental illness and my suicidal behavior. Of I lose my benefits I will be homeless and panhandling. I can't seem to hold down a job. I beyond fed up with my life. Please advise.
