I could have swallowed a whole bottle of pills and drank an entire bottle of alcohol tonight right before bed, and my husband wouldn't have even noticed.
He was right on the couch.
Im having one of my episodes (crying, angry bursts, and lots and lots of suicidal thoughts) that usually lasts a few days at least. His first reaction is to ask me a million questions. Do you want this do you want that do you want me to... etc. And its exhausting. I tell him no questions I dont have capacity for questions.
His next reaction is just to ignore me. Ignore the way im acting till it passes.
Yes ive told him what he should be doing. Just hold me. Tell me its going to be okay. Just fucking validate my feelings. But it doesn't matter how many times I tell him he just always does the same thing.
Even after I tried to end it all 5 years ago. Nothing has changed.
With a failed attempt in my past im afraid to try again. But the urge is getting stronger as more time passes. Last time I did not research, just swallowed all my medicine and hoped for the best. Clearly it didnt work.
I have felt this way for years. Started when I was about 16 and has just gotten worse the older I get. I thought if I got married and had a really good support system it would help. I think my mistake was assuming my husband could be my support system. I dont think he can, since after 14 years together he still has no idea or at least doesnt try to know what i need from him.
So I think its time I give up for real. But what I want to know is, when did it start for you? The real planning and not just the fantasies? And ultimately what method are you planning? I want to know where to start. I want to do it right this time.
Its not like I have to worry about waiting until im home alone to do it.
