After my first attempt, someone told me that something like 75% of people that attempt suicide and fail will attempt again and by successful. Now I am sitting here alone in my room, already have made my plan and I can’t get that statistic out of my head. But honestly I can’t seem to get anything out of my head these days.
I’m not sure if I want to go into my “reasons” for doing this because after psychiatric counseling, mental wards, rehabs, and etc, I’ve realized there is no point in trying to explain a reason. I’ve been told there is no reason. Suicide is a selfish act they say, “the easy way out”. Whoever says suicide is easy has no idea of the pain that leads up to an act like this. It’s a black hole, an endless pit that breaks past the very idea of pain and sorrow.
I have been thinking about this for the past 2 weeks or so and every time I make a plan or decide to finally do it, I get this feeling. I feel so high. It’s the best feeling I have ever had. And despite all my pain I have had some amazing feelings whether it be true love or the best fucking drugs money can buy. And despite my rationality, suicide seems logical. I know how crazy this may seem to people who don’t understand, but it just does.
There is a phrase that for some reason has haunted me for as long as I can remember. In all my writing it seems to continually come up. It sneaks up on me like a shiver.
I am not meant for this world.
I’m not religious, but I guess you could say that I am spiritual and although I can’t define what life after death is. i have faith that while I may have made mistakes in this life, my heart will guide me in the right direction. And I know that my heart is true. My heart knows that this is the truest thing that of all.
Now, I’m not saying that suicide is right. I have no authority to decide what is right or wrong. But I feel I have exhausted all my options. Counseling, religion, psychiatric drugs, rehab, AA, NA, my art, my writing, friends, family, money, drugs, alcohol, sex……the list goes on so far but my fingers are starting to hurt and things are becoming more clear.
This is it……
I’ve considered writing notes to everyone that I care about, but I don’t think that I could ever express my love for the people in my life. And I don’t think it would be fair to them to try and explain all of this and that is why I am telling it to the anonymous internet. I know I will cause them pain but I know that living any longer like this will only do harm. I am on a inevitable path of destruction that is set to take down everyone in my life.
There is really nothing more to say. It’s funny to think that these are all the words I have. Seven paragraphs may seem like a lot to you, but for a person who has never been lacking in words…seven paragraphs is well, nothing. But thank you for those who have read to these final words. I hope that you never will come to this point. I hope you see the light at the end of the tunnel and realize that you have options. Most of us do, most of us will somewhat fufilling lives. But for me, this is my light, this is my way.
Goodbye and good luck…..

Please tell me you haven’t done it.
That’s all I wanted to say, and then I realised how fruitless that is. I guess I mean, I am feeling incredibly depressed at the moment and I googled suicide as I tend to do, and your post came up… and I could relate to every single part of it. The part about feeling happy sometimes after deciding to die… that reminds me of Eckhart Tolle. He was suicidal once you know.
Ah, I don’t have much to offer. But just know that I care, and I’d really like to know that you are still alive, if you are out there somewhere.
Amia
ever seen the matrix?
think of this as knowing something is wrong with the world and not knowing what it is and there are other people who have been where you are who have figured out what it is.
none of us who have figured this out are religious in any way.
once you find out the answer to what the problem is, i have a feeling you will lose even more faith and belief.
i’ll check back to see if you’re interested, but beware. this forum is actually run by christians who want to take from you the gift that has brought you to the point of realizing it would be better to not live in this illusional world they have crafted.
you show the mark of clarity. epistemology and empiricism should be your friends.
there is no good nor evil.
all morals are subjective.
no act carried out by any human being is selfless.
even the most altruistic seeming acts are done for praise and self esteem in the individual or else they would not carry out such ‘altruism.’
when you have few desires and are not seeking to get anything that you want, the burden of the mindless rats hoarding cheese and demanding from you things that you don’t want to do is amplified.
first you have to realize that you’re not required to live by the standards of others – except by what is legal and illegal. and even then you can take calculated risks per your own judgment, if you so choose.
society has a safety net to catch you if you fall. if you obey the law, you will not die of starvation nor homelessness if you actively seek shelter and the aid of government programs.
realizing that you can completely separate yourself from the demanding psychic leeches in your life is the first step. the second step is overcoming the sadness in not seeing them anymore in favor of you still living.
why should you live in such misery? you might ask. if nothing else, but for spite in that others have driven you to the brink and you deserve to live and be happy as much as they, if not more so. you have no obligation to anyone or any god to go on breathing and the choice to stop breathing is yours alone.
just remember that you are god of your own destiny and the luck that your consciousness exists at this time and place is an amazing chance that AIDS babies who drink from a dusty, milkless, teat never got to experience.
which would bring us to the nature of life itself, which is another page in the story if you choose to keep living.
damn……the way you write i jus dont understand…your words are like poetry….your words could be worth millions…..dont do it…not yet at least…just please make sure….you seem so fuckin smart and so fuckin wise….i dont get it..thing about me…i never do. damn you really have some words that can change alot of perspectives on this site…if not your own….you could save a life…in doing that you might jus save your own.
You said you have tried everything and you mention Counseling, religion, psychiatric drugs, rehab, AA, NA, my art, my writing, friends, family, money, drugs, alcohol, sex.
That is all shit. It very much seems to be linked with pleasure and cheap fucks. What about being a mercenary against Chechenians in Russia? the ones who killed little children in a school. What about using your intelligence for your own discipline and strength and changing from feeling ***** and sorry to be a strong man? What about seeing people in extreme circustances, the extremely poor, the disadvantaged the handicaped, the bereaved. If you live in anglo saxon countries like the UK, go to the government and ask for volunteer work with people in dire conditions. That is surely something which is going to put an end to your moaning about life and will turn you into a completely different person, capable of helping so many others. This is what you can do for yourself and many others.
