Well, already tried and failed. But I figure somewhere along the lines of mid August. I wouldn't of failed if I read more carefully the forum. But on the plus side, it's given me more time to plan things out better. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well. But more importantly it's also given me a chance to look for a backup method that suits me. And it's also given me more time to get to know all of you folks on here. To reach out and connect with other people that feel the same way I feel.
Especially suicide being such a taboo subject. The only times it's really mentioned in the media is to mock and shame it.
And even though I've felt suicidal for a great number of years. Somehow all that bullshit social conditioning digs it's way into your brain. Suicide is wrong. And with that stigma, I could never bring myself to talk about it. I didn't want to end up in some psych ward..
But a couple of weeks ago I just didn't care about the stigmas, the labeling, the what's wrong what's right. The pain I'd bring on others. It just didn't matter anymore. For once, I mattered more than all of the bullshit I've been fed.
And I looked online and found some interesting things. But then I bumped into this forum. And originally it was just to get the information I needed. I wanted to CTB and that's it. And I was on here a week without signing up. Just reading through a lot of information. And then Iemember if I signed up right before my attempt and fail, or right after my attempt and fail. Either way. Then I started reading more closely.
Not just about the methods and the specifics. But the stories people had, the venting, the philosophy, the poetry, the suggested songs, etc.
By complete accident and pure luck. I found people that felt the same way I did. Anecdotes, the jokes, inspiration, compassion. The kind of thing that makes your heart swell with gratitude. That sense of, I'm not alone.
And I realize that I'm ranting so I'll stop right here. But just one last night. It feels really nice just to be understood. Big hugs everyone.
