I've been avoiding the main suicide discussion forum as I feel it'll then make these feelings real. I think at some point I'll have to accept my efforts at self-improvement haven't really worked. Feeling scared and anxious. I've not been outside since Tuesday. I've only spoken to one person since then. There has been no gym or tennis this week. I just hate going outside at the moment. It always feels like everyone is watching and judging me. Everybody else sems to have their lives together, I feel like such a failure.
I've also been struggling with two health problems this week. My foot is very sore (had surgery on it a year ago). NHS said they would operate in the middle of 2025...! So I had to go private as the consultant said it would get worse over time and there would be less chance of the surgery being successful as time goes on. Spent 5k of my savings on it :( I was hoping it would have been better by now, but I think it's always going to ache. I'm not as good at tennis as I used to be as I can't move around as I did before. Luckily, I'm tall and have long arms, so it's not the end of the world I guess.
I've also been getting horrible tailbone pain which is really getting me down. I went from 22 stone in November to 16 stone. Unfortunately, that means I'm no longer sitting on fat…and it hurts…a lot. I've been referred to the NHS, but they have estimated it will take around 250 days to be seen. I've been waiting over a year for a cardiology appointment on the NHS for AFIB, so I'm not holding my breath. I've been doing squats at the gym, hoping to build muscle in that area but no luck so far. Did 5 reps of 120KG last week, just got to keep plugging away and increase the weight I lift each week, I think. Sometimes I'm tempted to just gorge myself on chocolate and put all the weight back on so I have lots of comfy fat to sit on!
Unfortunately I will be going outside tomorrow as I've invited an acquaintance from my local tennis club to the Sunday tennis session I attend at another club (I'm a member of two different clubs, one has hard courts and the other clay). I don't like to let people down, so I'll have to go along as she doesn't want to attend the club on her own as a new member.
I can never seem to be "in the moment", whilst I'm playing, all I'll be thinking about is that the social session will end soon and I'll be driving home alone, to then sitting alone the rest of the day and evening. It would be so nice to have somebody to go home to. Someone I can share my day with and spend time with. Sounds pathetic when I type it out. I think I'm just very lonely and have been for a long time now.
Been thinking more about suicide. My failed attempt was full suspension hanging but I messed it up. I feel I'd do a better job with another attempt as I found this forum and have read the thread about it. However, I think it will now be my backup method. Ideally, I'd prefer SN. I will keep contributing to this forum and will hopefully find a source at some point in the near future.
The only other two options I can think of would be to jump from beachy head, but this would be very scary. Or jumping from the Severn bridge but again… scary. Taking SN, lying back and listening to music is a lot more appealing.
Typing all of this out has helped with my anxiety a little…thank you for reading if you got this far.
