Method The shadows won’t let me die

[stinkbug]

no one believes me but there's a shadow following me. The shadow won't let me die. It won't let me die. It wouldn't let me hang myself. My family is lying to me. It's everywhere. It won't let me get pills. It's in the walls. The cameras won't let me do it either. God is punishing me for being suicidal. It won't shut up. My family is conspiring against me with it. The shadow knows my weaknesses and fears. I need a way to die, please, fast, please. I need the shadow to stop following me. It won't end unless I end please I'm begging someone

Or just made up by some kid with nothing better to do in order to just amuse themselves and get a rise out of people here.

I believe you. I'm schizophrenic and this sounds eerily familiar. Link and link to show that this does happen in psychosis. Importantly, I'm *not* saying that your shadow isn't real (links might suggest they aren't but I think it's more complicated than that). But if your goal is to be free of the shadow, there are certain antipsychotic medications that may help you perceive your shadow less frequently. It may be worth seeing a psychiatrist, specifically about your shadow? If that's not possible - or if that doesn't feel right to you - then I'm genuinely so sorry. It's terrifying being followed around by shadows.

No, I've met these people in real life. Could be real.

Honestly, I know it could be real, but there have been "kids" who come through here every once in a while and post stuff like this just to fuck with us.

better to treat all cases as real tbh, the alternative is you sometimes treat a real one as fake, and that can be bad
