I'm aware this doesn't apply to everyone, but for the people whose lives aren't "that bad" and the future is probably better for them, are they aware of it too? I'm aware but I just don't want to suffer any longer, that's why I'm CTBing in a few months.

I mean, yes, even though my life probably won't get significantly better, the thought "it will be better in 10 years" isn't in any way comforting XD When I was a teen I actually believed that but it didn't comfort me nevertheless.

Same, whether the thought is true or not it doesn't change how life is RIGHT NOW.

I don't really belong anywhere

Yes and No. Certain aspects of my life might (key word being might) get better but in all honestly, it doesn't have as much to do with the way my life is going. Its more of who I am as a person. I'm not good at making friends or creating bonds or interacting. God, I want to. I actively hang out with friends who say they love me but I feel out of place. I really just don't belong here. That's the gist of it.

I was doing really badly once before in my live, and definitely got better to the point that I could at some point even imagine not just delaying my CTB to another day but entirely not planning to CTB. But this took years. And now within months I've gotten just as bad again, if not worse. If this is gonna be a cycle through my whole life, I'll spend the majority of the time miserable, and I'm not sure if the good times are good enough to make up for it.

I understand this, it feels like an endless loop and like what's the point if it will just get worse again? But you never know what will happen, and I do hope eventually the good outweighs the bad for you.

Scared into Recovery
Jul 25, 2025

Always but also not anymore. The idea of it ending is comforting, moreso than the process of getting better.

Same has gone for my last attempt. Mt memory, as little as it remains, recalls a fearful peace, yet my time being locked up to "recover" was constant hell.

I wonder if that's my mindset or just how life is.

yeah, i need to "struggle a bit more" and "take the last step" so i can finally be over with what's making my life so difficult right now, but i don't have the amount of energy for that last push, i just want to stop being here, i can't work as a normal human being, it pains my heart, it makes me feel so ashamed of myself, i'm an adult, but i'm not functional, i feel like a burden to everyone, i can't even force myself to go "automatic mode" anymore, i only need to force myself a little bit more and my life will be less problematic, or at least that's how it supposed to be, who knows what kind of shit the future holds for me.
but i just can't.

I get that, suicide always is scary but also comforting at the same time, but recovery doesn't seem as comforting for some of us even though it's good, because it's simply unfamiliar. I am just very used to depression so to have anything else would feel strange and uncomfortable if I tried again to recover. But this isn't to bash recovery, everything has its pros and cons and I hope one day we can all feel better.

I have a plan to move in with this chilean guy i met off twitter in like 2 years, we both plan to get a 3rd guy here as well, possibly a 4th but we dont have a worthy candidate. The chilean guy and the other one will both work, while i do absolutely nothing all day, i will be sustained and allowed to rot in bed all day. not only that but they plan to get me drunk and high so i dont get bored. i hate my life and this seems like a nice alternative, im sure i'll get sick of living like this after a while where i'll then cbt with a gun. despite the relatively short waiting time i still want to cbt now, my only feasible methods of doing do are not instantaneous nor peaceful.

I don't know how I feel about this but it's your life, just stay safe, I hope they have good intentions, I assume you trust these men.

It's okay, I think we can all relate to this. There's a certain shame in being an adult and barely being able to function, it makes me feel pathetic. Although I have to pretend for many reasons.

how did they even agree to do this? are you sure it's a good idea? not trying to be pessimistic here but being too dependant on other people can end.. uhm... pretty bad. (cuídate mucho)

No you're right I just didn't wanna say it bc it sounded rude. Moving in with a bunch of men seems sketchy and unsafe and I know nobody here cares much about their safety or if they live or die but I am just worried they will take advantage of the original poster.

No, this perspective is confusing to me. I personally want to ctb because I feel like it will just get worse. If I felt it would get better then I would definitely stick it out. I've waited 20 years, I can wait a few more if I know for a fact it will improve.

we met on twitter and we enjoy each others company, theres not much to it, i dont see how anything bad will happen to me. The chilean guy is emotionally dependent on me and does pretty much whatever i tell him to, the 3rd guy isnt much better, the drugs and cbt by gun are my idea, hes not particularly thrilled by it but he'll do it because i told him to. i consider myself lucky to have this opportunity to live a relatively comfortable life with people i love, i have no real connection to my family and no friends besides them.

EDIT: oh my god I got this notif and thought you were replying to one of my threads, now the context of my whole paragraph makes no sense LMAO sorry
I'm sorry that it was confusing. This makes me feel hopeless but it's not your fault, you're just telling your experience. But 20 YEARS?!?? For me it's only been like 7. I really want to have hope that maybe the future will change, for better or for worse I just want something different. Something new. Then again, change can be scary. But if things were guaranteed to get better like you said, obviously I'd stick around. But nothing is guaranteed. On the other side of the coin, things are not guaranteed to get worse so take that as you will.

Alright, also I didn't mean to make it sound like all men are bad, obviously not all but you know what I meant. I'm glad you're sure you don't have to do anything you don't wanna. I hope this whole living arrangement turns out well for you.

i'm sorry if i'm reading this the wrong way but it kinda seems like you're talking him into CTB and it's not something he decided on his own...? or maybe you mean that he's not "thrilled by it" because he had other methods in mind? whatever it is, i hope it goes okay for all of you, it kinda makes me anxious to involve other people in my suicide but that's just my personal pov

no no, he wants to do it as well, he has it worse than me, hes just not particularly excited to help me do it as it would sadden him, but doing it on my own accord isnt much better for the both of us, so this is the best method. neither does he have any particular method in mind.

I know it will probably get better given a long enough timeline, but it's been over two years and it's only gotten worse. Two years is 6.5% of my life so far. I don't have another year of this in me. I can't help but think the worst is yet to come.

I just did the math, I assume you're in your early 30s. Your feelings are valid either way however, 6.5% is really not a lot out of 100%. You said it's been over two years so I assume things weren't like this for the other 28 years you've been alive? I'm not here to preach that you shouldn't kill yourself but I have a perfect metaphor I might post somewhere else too bc really think about it: If you win a million dollars then lose 100k, you don't just throw out the other 900k just because you're upset you lost 100k, right? Same thing with life.

I can vision myself living a "normal" life, but years of therapy haven't worked. I am exhausted and lost hope of getting there without any support. Since also mental health professionals are out of options, CTB seems the only way to find my peace. I got my plan ready, only waiting for that last little push of despair to finally finish it.

I'm not here to tell you what to do but have you tried EVERYTHING? Every mental health treatment that exists? Even ECT, or ketamine infusions, anything like that?

The other 28 years weren't so good either. I've been fixated on death and shame since I was two years old, on top of being my parents' emotional support daughter. I've been unemployed since I got my masters degree. I only got that degree so I could get a better job and make more money so I could finally move out. I can't see that in my future anymore.

TWO YEARS OLD? I'm so sorry, I didn't even know that was possible. I know how it feels to be hopeless and idk where you live but the job market where I live is shit so I can't find a job yet either. But I'm gonna keep trying, don't be ashamed of still living with your parents. So do I even though I'm an adult, society expects us to be moved out already but it's so hard without a job so I'm staying until I get enough money to leave.

Doesn't work as well when you have already lost 500k and the rest is statistically likely to be taken too. Cool analogy tho!

I'm landing my dream job at a young age and have always lived a pretty comfy life. I could easily live another 60-70 years, but I really don't want to. Life after mid-twenties seems repetitive and I'm bound to be unhappy. My mental disorders make it nearly impossible for me to step outside my comfort zone, and I'm content with how I'm living now

No, cause those treatments are generally not indicated for a personality disorder..
