I don’t know about any of you but I frequently look up ways that a person could die so I can structure the most reliable method of suicide possible if I ever came that close to the edge…which is rapidly approaching. You know, things like, “How to take a bunch of pills without throwing them up”, “How to tie a noose”, “Ways to bleed the most” but my results all turn up with nothing (except the noose one). Perhaps I need to ask the opposite of all these things. Or, just trial and error. Trial and error. I wonder if a near death experience is what it would take for me to come back to the light of reality. Who knows.

Hey! Be careful with the trial and error, you could do severe damage and be worse off if you fail, and there might not be a second chance to come back to light of reality.
I dont think a near death experience will help, maybe take a good look at life and take a big step back from reality to just observe and understand the world around you and yourself. Find out the things you need to change that can make you happy, find a road to your own definition of sucess and find your peace, whatever that may be.
Take care.
I have taken a good look at life, but I can’t help seeing it in a diluted way. I kind of summed it up in my one post a while back “Depression is like a cold”
Yeah I know if things go wrong I can end up becoming a vegetable or something. But hey, if I’m brain dead I won’t know what’s going on, and people can have all sorts of fun poking me with sticks.
But thank you for the concerns.
Mine involved my respirator as you saw me wearing. I actually posted about it here and then *clicks fingers* it was gone. I’d tied a noose once and left it on my front porch to ward off…pesky neighbours, yes. My cousin stole it and used it as a Halloween decoration. I think if you did go that far and almost fully embrace death and somehow come back, it would revitalise your belief in this life. Who knows. Only one way to find out I s’pose?
Trial and error usually ends up in just error, but the cost of that error? pure luck. So unless you are willing to fail and end up in a worse condition… that’s not really advisable.
NDEs do tend to make a person embrace life for a period of time afterwards (there must be statistics for this), but for how long? i think it depends on how much of his/her life problems/conditions the person is able to overcome thanks to that “life boost”.
Sure enough, if you are optimistic after a failed attempt yet everything remains the same or you don’t make the effort to change things… well, it’s likely that you’ll end up in the same place than before.
True. It just boils down to not knowing what to do with myself anymore. I wish I lived in the wilderness, like Beorn from the Hobbit. A reclusive lifestyle (possibly with maybe one or two people I can tolerate) would maybe be the thing for me. I swear I was born in the wrong time period.
You are not alone on that one, i know plenty of people (including me) that don’t really seem to fit in this time period. Shepard is in the same boat for what i’ve read of him, but hell, he lives in the Shire (lucky mofo). I’d be happy if i could live on a forest in a small cabin, chopping wood and killing bears for a living (yeah, seriously).
Well damn, come on down to Kiwiland? I have this awesome stretch of beach in the Bay of Islands (belongs to my family, definitely google the place) and there’s plenty of forests and nature reserves around too. No bears though, only wild pigs, political activists and weed farms.
I’d need to save some serious money, improve my english, leave depression behind and turn my life around completely. But no bears? c’mon, that’s a deal breaker (and pigs aren’t kosher), what would i kill for a living? 🙁 i thank you for the offer tho 😀
Maybe if i smoke weed and imagine the politicians are bears…. mmm…
lol when I get a license and actually can leave my house without having a panic attack I’ll come down to the shire with you Shep. That’s actually the first thing I thought of when you told me where you lived XD
buscetti – That sounds like a plan. The Far North especially holds a special place in my heart, and I’m sure you’d get lost in its surreal beauty as well. Haha that’s pretty funny though how that was your first thought. But yes, given the chance and the strength to do so, you should definitely check it out. 🙂
M – Mate, half my cousins talk like that jungle kid Donny from Wild Thornberrys – you’d sound pompous compared to half the people up North. Yeah, sorry no bears. Plenty of deer, possum, wabbit, weary hitchhikers…erm…I mean stoats and stuff. If you’re lucky you might catch a crack addict as well. I don’t need the evil green to imagine those bastards as anything. I see them for the plebeian scum they are.
