Hey Londonbloke,
If you are shitting your pants? You are not ready!! But I bet it feels like it…doesn’t it? Sorry you are so angry and confused and in pain…but suicide is not the only answer.
We’ll be here to talk and/or listen when you get back. Even if you are even angrier. I’m a 9 times failure myself…that finally caught on. Slow learner here. How about you?
No matter what…I wish you Peace
Peace of Mind
Amakua
thankyou Amakua for your reply
That was a first for me, 2 years ago was my first attempt, i just didn’t understand all that it involves, till i got there…
i have wanted it for a long time..guess that time 2 years ago i finally moved on a step, but i still crapped myself when faced with it and couldn’t just “pull the trigger so to speak”..
Was just being honest and like you said i wasn’t ready…
this time around, well i hope it goes better…but after the last time 2 years ago i know its harder to follow through than we all thought..But i’m much better prepaired this time around..I ain’t saying any more on that
i’m probably like a lot of us on here who have spent hour after hour on-line researching just this 1 subject… will it hurt, whats the easiest way to go, the most painless etc, etc…
also read time and time again that if you’re there looking then you’re not really ready cos when you are ready you will just go and do it..end of..
Maybe, maybe not..but i disagree…
Anyway i’ve pretty much cleared my studio flat out today, threw out almost everything…not that i had a lot anyway microwave, music centre, computer printer, shoes, clothes all that sort of stuff that i don’t want or need any longer…(i guess you could say i’m just spring cleaning a little bit earlier than i’m supposed too)..
the poor shredder has been used to the bone got a lot cleared today,dunno why i feel i need to do all this ..but i guess again each to there own..
yep you could say i’m where i wanted to be ..
not long now…
posting on here because i’ve spent 4 days now as usual without talking to anyone, yep spent the whole xmas, again, without a word to anyone, no contact at all…..only time i’ve walked out the door was to throw stuff into the bin..
being able to type here is well i dunno not my last words, but a comfort in some sad way to me cos why i’m typing i’m not on my own..
yeah yeah yeah..if i was gonna go do it..
i would of done it by now..I’m just lonely..
trust me i’m way past lonely
each to there own…we are all different…
Hey Londonbloke,
I’m first of all gonna ascertain you are either from or in the UK. I’m in Canada myself…just curious because of the time differences…that is all. I’m also gonna assume you are male…atleast until you tell me different. haha 😛
I feel your pain…but I don’t understand where it comes from. Not that it matters…pain is pain is pain is pain. Must say…I seem to have more than my fair share…haha…guess I shouldn’t have been born soooo stubborn.
I can relate to the spring cleaning….but I rarely do it in spring. I find this time of year works for me for different reasons. I live a lifestyle of voluntary simplicity myself…so no need to really get rid of much stuff…but I also clean through…my home and myself…and try to get rid of anything outdated or obsolete…including some of my old, tired ways of thinking, feeling and being in the world.
Deep eh? haha but then i am an old woman…first and foremost. But then after my ninth attempt…I kinda had to find a new way…it didn’t look like I was getting out of here that easy…so I had to figure out a way to make it thru…and now…FINALLY…I am actually enjoying my life. But first I had to get my ego in check.
I dunno…I never spent hours searching for suicide methods and such….I never planned a one really. Just thought I figured out a way to do it…and tried. Most attempts should have been successful…the last one was a mind blower…hahaha…but nope…still here. I used to think that I must be a truly horrible person…and that even God didn’t want me…or perhaps it was personal and he was enjoying torturing me…yep. And I used to be a good Xtian. But now I live with the physical and emotional pain of my failure to launch. Turns out…it was me punishing and torturing me…if that means I am God…so be it. Actually…I am Gnostic…hahaha 🙂
I would love to know more about you and how you ended up where you are…but unfortunately for you…I will continue to try to talk you around…why should I be the only one suffering? 😀 lmao
I get lonely….I think I may have perfected it…I could feel alone in a crowd of people…I could feel alone with an intimate group…I could feel alone in a group of two…sigh. It turned out…it was a state of mind. I didn’t realize that it was me that was failing to connect…and still do sometimes. 🙁
Oh yeah…and you may be different…but my doctor says I am an ENIGMA. Is that just a nice way of saying different? hehehehe 😀
I attempted the first time before I was 4, the last time at 40. But last year…it came close again. I knew if I didn’t get help I was gonna be successful this time…sort of a psychotic break with my reality…cuz it was toooo much. So I sat at my keyboard and typed suicide…and the rest is as they say….history. I ended up here. And thanks to the kind souls here…I am still here…and back in control of my self. 🙂
Again…would love to hear more about you…and I am an open book.
Wanna yak?
Amakua
Amakua..
Firstly a very happy new year to you..We just made it here to 2013 a couple of hours ago..
Thankyou again for your reply to my previous post, i apologise thats its taken me this long to reply. To be honest, me not replying was eating me up inside, what a bloody selfish bastard i have now become when i read your post soon after you posted it and i must of read it 15 times since and i didn’t at least bother to reply or thankyou in any way at all..
I guess this is now the person i have become..I just dunno anymore..
Anyway i’m sorry, feel very selfish and a complete bastard..
In answer to a couple of your questions ..
Yes i’m in London,uk.. and i’m a 44 year old male also..good looking, loads of money, huge house, erm what else?…(hang on..i’m getting my websites mixed up a bit here).. crap..
Now back to reality..
yes i’m male, in london..lost, very lost ,end of really..
I ain’t gonna bore you with all my details, i’m sure you’ve read em a 1000 times before..As you said pain is pain , is pain..lets just say i’m there..
Just spent new years eve as i did xmas…alone..
Pretty much used to all that now tho, so its nothing new..
I like Enigma..
Dunno about the yak bit.. lol..But it put a smile on my face anyway so thanks for that, i don’t feel smiley or happy that often ..
The lonely bit you mentioned in your post said it all for me too so nothing there for me to add either, its like me looking in a mirror, you sumed me up exactly with your words..
Anyway i ain’t gonna go on and on and bore you to death cos that may be a successful 10th attempt on your part cos i’d prob push you over the edge and i don’t wanna be blamed for taking someone else with me..
I Just wanted to say thanks Amakua..
I know there are so many good people wandering this planet of ours, i reckon you are up there with them..Can just feel it in how you write..
But nothings changed this end, i’ve sorted and done all i needed to do..Still got a couple of days left to dwell too ..I’ve had the exact date in my mind for a good while now, even when i first posted, That date has not not changed..
Still scared shitless, but am with the help of the web, understanding it all a bit more so i’m feeling much more positive and relaxed about the whole thing..
Not long now..
I can do this..
Happy New Year Londonbloke,
It is not officially 2013 here yet…another 2 1/2 hours to go. Myself…I’m kinda looking forward to the new year…it’s gotta be better than the last couple.
Getting your websites mixed up? haha This is the only one I am on…so it is easy to keep my story straight. Unfortunately it is very easy…because it is my truth. I don’t have any secrets myself…not much point to it. I’ve been told I’m quite a tactless ***** myself…haha…and that is by the people who know and love me.
It just seems like I got no time or energy to play games anymore…so I kinda end up telling it like it is. As soon as I can quit feeling guilty for it…I’ll be cured…haha ;D
I dunno…I like to think I am one of the good ones…and that is the reason I am still here…but I still think there may be some karma or such involved..haha I have definitely lived a lifetime or twelve…I musta been very very bad the last time or something.
You don’t need to worry about pushing me over the edge…hahaha 😀 I’ve been there…I like to say I walk the razor’s edge…and even if I did get pushed…I’d just end up fighting back now. It is my anniversary next week. I can’t believe it has been 12 years since my last attempt…but it was my last attempt…mostly because I was successful…hunh
Did you want to talk? Like maybe you could tell me more about yourself? And you can always feel free to ask questions. I would love to talk you around…but I’m more concerned with your peace of mind than anything. Hey…ya still got a couple of days. Have you got anything better to do? ;P haha And what is your favourite music? Ever hear Enigma? haha 🙂
Here if you want to talk…better than yak? haha
Amakua
Hello again Amakua
Thanks for your reply yet again..and happy new year..(must be 2013 there now in Canada surely)..
i’ve spent the last 3 odd hours reading random posts on this site…
lots of very sad and moving stuff, i can relate to a lot of what i read and its a comfort in itself knowing that as much as you think you are ,you are not alone..
Sure makes you think…really does..
The getting my websites mixed up bit was me trying a bit of my stupid mad crazy humor, i’m only ever posted on this site and 2 others in my entire life and the other 2 sites i’ve posted on were nothing to do with anything like this one or dating sites as i was implying..I’m not here to play any games..I just wanted a place where i could go to express how i felt and get down some last thoughts as i spend most of my time alone..That was all..Was nothing sinister in it ..was just me and my humor..
I have only 1 secret and because i’m not hurting anyone but myself and thats the gods honest truth..(no-one else is involved)..i’m keeping it to myself..
Tactless *****…?..well i like your honesty..Like the karma bit as well..Don’t know a lot about it apart from what i’ve read on-line..(will read up a bit more about it over this next day or so)..
Also like your pesistence, excuse my spelling, typing has never been my strong point, but as long as i know what i’m trying to say then it don’t seem to matter..lolol..
Congrats for next week and your 12 years..Well done you..Reckon i’ve only felt this way 2 and a half years max, only the last few months its got to where i am now..Previously its just been the odd thought here or there, now i’m thinking it 24/7..its now completly taken over my way of thinking..
How you got through 12 years of this ..well i just dunno..But fair play to you..
I’m gonna say something now that i hope you don’t take offence to..
Please don’t take this the wrong way..Cos i appreciate your replies but i’ve seen now how i’m going off track here..
I’m replying to you because i’m that kinda person..That is me..
you were kind enough to reply to my posts, so me being me i’ve felt i have had to reply..thats just me..thats the way i am..
I see now that i have made a mistake..I should not of replied to any comments..
I guess By me writing here i should of expected a reply or 2.. I honestly thought i would just sail away into the night..Thats the gods honest truth..I just wanted to get written down exactly how i felt so that maybe one day, someone may read my thoughts…I never thought someone would reply..
I’m not gonna start getting into conversation, about music, about me, etc… cos then i’m tied to something else….
I’m sorry i don’t want other things in my head that i’m gonna be thinking about… I’ve just spent 3 odd days clearing and getting rid of stuff so i have no ties..
I can’t do that, i really can’t cos its gonna put doubts in my head..I’m sorry..
I have 2 days left now..Been thinking about and working towards this day
for a good time now..
I don’t want to fuck this up now ..I really, really don’t…
Not a lot left now to work out, everythings done here ..i know just what i’m doing on that day down to what time i leave, what i’m wearing, how i’ve left my place the lot..
each day that passes i think of other things i need to do..so i do them as best i can..Theres always gonna be something we miss tho ain’t there…
This is going to be the 2nd time i’ve tried ending it all..I’m going back to try exactly the same way i tried 2 years ago..I know what to expect..I’m feeling positive and know what i need to do but it ain’t the easiest way out from what i’ve read online, and of course i’ve been there before..
i’ve got it all figured out, like to think i’m ready, but am still scared shitless..I really am..I’m not going for a walk in the park afterall am i??..
I just need the courage and focus to do what i want to do and i’m not gonna find any of that here am i..
Thankyou for your posts..and once again i’m very sorry..
Pretty sure you will reply to this, i get that from you when you replied to my second post..
less than a couple of days now ..gone 6 am here and i’m drinking a very large brandy..
What am i looking for…courage, answers, strength, reasons.. a way out..what????..
I dunno really…
2013…here it is..
Here we go
you takecare
Hey Londonbloke,
Sooo sorry…had to take a wee break from the Princess diaries…haha I had to scroll back through pages and pages and pages to find this.
Trust me…if you were really ready to die…you wouldn’t be scared. I know. But I’m sure you feel like it…pretty overwhelming shit at times.
Won’t rattle on…just wanted to let you know that I am still here…and would love to talk when you get a chance…but just really wanted to let you know that I heard you and I feel for you. 🙁 It has only been a year since the last time I thought that way last. sigh
If I could make one recommendation tho…quit drinking!!! Alcohol is a depressant. Simple…so how can it really help? Now weed…hahaha…that’s the ticket…and you might even have a spiritual moment of clarity while you’re at it…find your will to live again and make it better. 😀 Just a suggestion from an old hippie chick…haha 😛
I am sure you are just looking for the same as all of us…answers. But to get the answers…you gotta ask the questions…and listen for the answers…your answers.
No matter what I wish you peace my friend
Love
Amakua
Just over 3 months ago i came to this site after a web search
when i found it i read many peoples stories for hour upon hour
So many of them i could understand, could relate too..
I eventually posted myself and blurted out what was on my mind, etc..etc..
On the 5th of January i tried what i had planned in them previous posts..
I got there, was oh so close and then what did i do?..
Was pretty much hammered (drunk) when i got there, i never stopped drinking on the train down..
Walked for god knows an hour, maybe more just followed the sea..
Climbed up then down..up then down..Lost a bag i had with me containing another half bottle after falling a few times..
Eventually got to where roughly i wanted to be so what do i go and do
Spotted lights which turned out to be a pub..This place is a few mins walk from where it could all end..
Fucking bloody idiot, i just couldn’t resist could i, maybe if i hadn’t of lost that bottle falling somewhere then i wouldn’t of gone in..But i did..
Don’t remember much more, just remember getting a pint and a double brandy then another double brandy, the rest is a drunken blur..
Remember getting cuffed, picked up and nothing else..
Woke up in a police cell at eastbourne police station a good few hours later..
Don’t remember nothing else from that pub to where i woke up..Nothing..
Anyway after asking if i could be let out so i could go home, i was told no as i was being held awaiting accessment from a team including a psychiatrist as they believed i intended to harm myself..(found the notes i had left on me)
But i later learned that the staff in the pub had called the police as they do so often when they spot i guess people like me???
Few more hours passed and i get accessed and then put on a section 2 under the mental health act….
Back to the cells for another long wait till i get transferred back to a hospital close to me in london..
27 days i spent in there..Only good thing about it in there was the other patients and the staff who were great..No fun being locked up though and watched 24/7 but i know these people have a job to do….
Had almost daily checks with dr’s and talks with staff about everything and anything….
Finally got the all clear, escourted leave gradually then an hour on my own, then 2 and so on..Till i finally got discharged in the care of a friend..
Anyway been out now for just over 2 months..
The Pills i’m on seemed to be doing something for a few weeks, but not any more..
Am back on the booze again now big time..All them thoughts i was having then even without the drink are constantly running through my head all over again..Only this time round i also keep thinking about how i fucked it all up that last time round..
Missed a few appointments with my follow up team..Now the label is on me i could get whisked back in a heartbeat..Know they have been round at my place..Been twice when i was out and left letters..
Hardly go back home anymore..Stay at a friends sleep on her floor..
Why am i here again, after saying previously i don’t want to get into conversation….
what exactly is that or this even about..
why also do i have this obession with that place that i seem to be drawn too.
Why can’t i just move on or at least stop thinking it and just go do it..
I read a lot…a lot here and on-line and i dunno anymore what, where who or even why…whats that all about..
I have a couple of friends who know how i feel cos i tell them, they even visited me in hospital..One of them signed me out in there care..
I told them i don’t wanna go back but i know they are concerned about things now..I can see it in some of the things they say to me..
I need to talk, need to say something..
So i just have..
Know just what i want to go and do..
so why the fuck ain’t i doing it..
not ready don’t want it..my head is 24/7 telling me different..
Fuck me..please stop all this.
why am I still here??..
I don’t want to be yet here I am…
Am off work sick, hardly go out, just don’t want to be a part of anything any more..
don’t answer the phone or the door or even open the mail..
only go out now when it gets dark to the off licence for another bottle..
police came 2 weeks ago and almost kicked the door in..
missed my follow up appointments with the hospital and they sent them round..
why can’t they just leave me alone..
Why can’t I do it..???
why am I waiting..
i’m obsessed with beachy head , its all I seem to think about..
fucked it all up there the last time..but its always on my mind..
what the fuck is my problem..
I want to go
just what am I waiting for..
Hi Londonbloke ïŠ
Hope you’re doing a bit better than in your last post, but it’s ok if not, please feel free to rant a bit at me.
Have you been out much (work/social)? I’ve been out with some friends today and actually really enjoyed myself, can find it quite difficult sometimes… but went well today! I guess I find it difficult sometimes, because I seem so emotionally different to them… they all get along, are all so alike – I bet they don’t know how depressed I get sometimes, how I sometimes don’t see the point in even moving… let alone going out and talking with them – but I’m not really suicidal as much anymore, I think it would be pointless. Wait it out, hope for the best, make positive changes… it’s going quite well for me =) so far.
Have you seen much of that friend who let you sleep on her floor? You mentioned it in your post from April 1st, I thought that maybe she might be someone to spend time with if she knows what you’re struggling with.
I’m Evelyn by the way, nice to finally get round to posting to you!!
Hello Evelyn, nice to meet you..
Thanks for your post..Its good to read that things with you seem to be going ok..I can relate to the emotionally different bit that you mentioned in your post when you go out with your friends…
For years now i’ve thought that something wasn’t quite right with me, be it either at work just chatting with workmates or even when just visiting the local shop to get a few bits of shopping ..I just didn’t seem to be on that same level that everyone else seems to be on…I’ve always felt a bit out of place..
Nowdays i hardly go out anymore, when i do its either to get a few bits of shopping or stock up on more drink because i’m drinking more than i ever have in my life now..
As i write this, its almost 9am in the morning, I’ve not yet got any sleep and i’m sitting here with a very large brandy and coke and a can of lager..
This is normal stuff now, i’ve been like this for weeks..I just sit here in front of the computer seeking out suicidal stuff on the internet and knocking back drink after drink until i eventually either fall asleep in this chair in front of the computer or i make it to the bed..
At the moment i seem to be obsessed with the documentary the bridge..
I watch it over and over again, read everything i can find about it..
I remember seeing it a good few years ago when it was first released and it saddened me then..
Nowdays i watch it and i imagine that i’m one of them on that bridge, its me letting go..
I’m jealous and envious of them…
I’m also reading a lot about the human survival instinct, am trying to understand it, trying to understand why i’m making this so difficult when all it takes is just a few steps…I feel ready…I feel this is my time, I’ve got everything in order, all i have to do is get on that train again..
But then i start to think about that last time i went down there, getting sectioned, locked up for a month in hospital, going to that pub looking for that little bit of extra courage to do what i wanted to do , all that stuff, in a way it all messes with my head…
Since i last posted i have now lost my job, so i’m now well behind with my rent and all the other bills..I’ve got a bit of savings that i’m living on but they won’t last me long..
I’ve also been ringing my follow up assessment team which i’m supposed to attend each week putting them off (making some bullshit excuse that i can’t make the appointment etc..etc..)
Its also officially summer here now and i bloody hate summer, hate it with a passion..I prefer the cold dark days and the rain and the winter, i’ve always felt that way..I just hate this time of year …Hate it..
All these extra things that i’m now facing i hope will give me that extra push to just go and do what i want..
I’ve long stopped taking the anti-depressants and other meds that i was prescribed, i got a different batch from my Dr on my last visit over a month ago after telling him they ain’t working so he gave me others, but i’m no longer even taking them.
I know you have to give them time to work, etc, etc..But to be honest i’m not at all interested in what they can or might do…
I just wanted to get him off my back which i did…
So this is where i am..
Am obbessed with beachy head, read all i can find about it, read all i can find about any kind of suicide
Am awake all night, then sleep all day
Hardly eating ..
Bills coming in, no real means to pay them anymore..(money i have left i’d rather spend it on drink)
Hardly go out the door except to the off licence and then i’ll get a whole load in all at the same time..
I won’t answer the phone or the door to anyone, I’ve cut myself off.
Even that friend that i stayed with a while on her floor i won’t answer the phone to her no more..Am worried she might call the police but if they come round again i’ll just have to answer the door if i’m still here and fob them off with another bullshit story..(they have better things to do anyway)..
In a previous post i said i didn’t want to talk, get in conversation..
I guess the way i see it is like this..
In my head that just puts more doubts into your mind..
But then again its good to talk and say something..
So to be honest i don’t know sometimes if i’m coming or going..
My heads all over the bloody place..
I know what i want
I know what i need to do to
I really, honestly don’t want to be here any more..I don’t want to wake up tomorrow and go through this all over again..
Until i get that strength to get on that train then nothings going to change.
That at the end of the day is just the way it is..
Maybe tomorrow will be my day..
One day soon this will all end..
Thanks Evelyn again for your post..
I’m glad I’m not the only one that feels that way, in a different place to others despite being physically close to them.
I drink when I get angry :/ I guess that is different to you, then? It just makes sense sometimes because it seems like everything is so crap why not make it worse – there’s no point in trying to make it better, but then later on I think that was all lies in my head :S and that it can get better it might just be really hard.
Yes, it took me a good few weeks before I accepted the Summer is actually here – but fortunately if I sit with my umbrella up because I’ve had enough of the sunshine my friends are now so used to it that they barely even blink. 😉
I haven’t seen that documentary, it sounds interesting… Do you remember why it used to make you sad? I guess it would.
It kind of sounds as if you are bullying yourself into the steps that you want to take… I mean, you said you hope it gives you the extra push you need? I’m sorry if I’ve got the wrong idea…
I remember my Mum telling me that she had serious depression in her younger years and that she had a plan but then her Mother took her to the Doctors and they made her hormones balance out – is that what your Doctors are trying to do? It could partly be your hormones, chemicals etc. messing with you, dragging you down, trying to make you lose yourself in the process.
I can relate to shutting the world away, just not wanting to see anyone, face anyone. Maybe you could get a different job where you don’t have to see people too much or socialize with people you just don’t want to see?
I’m glad it is good in a sense to talk, I really like having someone to talk to about this stuff too.
Evelyn.
Hey, you ok Londonbloke?
Haven’t spoken in a while,
I hope you’re ok.
Evelyn.
Londonbloke posted that he was hoping to make his third suicide attempt on Sunday (3 days ago) look for his last post, titled “3rd Time Lucky.”
Thanks Flatus. I appreciate it.
