im giving myself a deadline of my next birthday (april 19, about 6 months from writing this) to figure myself and my life out. im using this time to try my hardest to turn things around and try to find real enjoyment and reasons to live. ive decided that if i still feel this way by then, im going to just get it over with using the ligature method.

my reasons being:
1. the age im turning is when im supposed to have things figured out and start preparing for my future. things i do actually start to matter, so if im still this depressed and unmotivated theres really no point in staying. my grades are awful and i have no work ethic. i wont achieve anything i want to live for if all i do is lay in bed.

2. ive felt this way my entire life, and already survived a few (admittedly horribly planned) attempts. every time i feel "better" its hollow and short-lived. and thats not worth staying.

3. the people in my life will be okay with it. ive told 3 of my friends and none of them really cared. all my friends that might care are long distance, so what i do wont affect them much either way. my parents might care, but our relationship is complicated and i dont think they like me much in the first place.

5. im overall really messed up mentally, and have been for a while. my first instances of self harm and first suicide attempt were at 10 years old. then again at 11. at 12 years old i was raped and that messed me up a lot more. at 13 i was in active addiction and attempted again, this was my worst and got me put inpatient in a psychiatric facility. i have autism as well so realistically, nobody expects me to live longer than maybe 30.

6. i hate myself. a lot. everything about me. my body, my face, my personality. ive hated myself since i was 10. i think im ugly and annoying and worthless. im closeted queer and i hate that part of myself even more. i cant think of anything about myself that i like.


there are some things i want to do that i think could be worth living for. i want to be a paramedic, or a standup comedian, or maybe a foreign language interpreter. i want to move to thailand. i want to adopt a kid as a single parent and give them the best life they could possibly live. but im not sure i could realistically achieve any of this, and i dont feel that living is worth it if i dont.

Well, it remeber me I've gave myself this kinds of deadline multiple times, and here is all failed. Current on is February 28th 2026.

According my own experience, more planned is CBT, more difficult is. My closest attempts were spontaneous.

I relate all your reasons deeply

,,I've felt this my entire life,,every time i feel "better" its hollow and short-lived. and thats not worth staying,,

It's the same for me! And it never changed for the better. I once heard a line in a song, (arcoíris negro, cuando río, cuando lloro) it means something like "black rainbow, no matter if I laugh or cry". Even the better moments have felt a bit empty for me, because the underlying weight never really goes away, which is, I don't belong here.

I don't know how long I can keep my hope up any longer but as much as I want to ctb, I don't have the mentally for it. Well at least for now..
But self discovery is a process and can eventually take longer than six months. I know that might sound hypocritical but give yourself more time

I have decided that I won't give myself a deadline. I just give myself permission to hang myself when the wave takes me there again in a moment of deadly spotianity

For me, I feel like it will definitely be in 2026 but I haven't quite narrowed down a timeline for myself yet. It seems like every year keeps getting progressively worse and I know I can't take much more from life right now. I think a deadline will be resolved after my birthday in spring.

I wish I could do the same so easily, but I can't. Maybe I just haven't suffered enough yet. A part of me wants to keep fighting, and another part feels completely exhausted and just wants to surrender
