My life is a living nightmare. I want to die so badly but I can’t ever seem to follow though any plans to commit suicide. It isn’t about anything religious or some sort of moral dilemma. I guess half of reason I am unable to go through with it is the immense pain suicide may be. I mean let’s face it, jumping from a really tall building and having your bones crushed into a million pieces doesn’t seem very attractive as does jumping in front of a train. I have heard so many failed suicide attempts that I fear being in immense pain in a vegetative state. But even with the magical pill of ******** which is said to bring a peaceful death, I still cannot see myself commiting suicide which brings me to my second reason – being a living being is all I have ever known. I do not fear so much the afterlife but everything that I know, my perception of everything will be nothing. It is just too extreme for me to do. My family will be nothing, everything I ever enjoyed will be nothing, I will be nothing. Even when I was in such a bad state that I was hospitalised for not eating and catatonia as a result of my depression, I wanted to die so badly but couldn’t do it.
So instead what I have decided is to do is shorten my life expectancy. It already has been an easy and natural path for me. I have stopped taking dance class because I no longer find joy in dance or any form of exercise for that matter. I don’t have a job so I just live a sedentary lifestyle doing nothing but laying in bed or on the couch. I continue to eat the most unhealthiest food which I find the most yummiest. I have stopped visiting the doctor for all my physical health problems. I don’t get screened for anything no vaccinated which causes me anxiety anyway. I mean who the hell likes needles or getting your boobs painfully squished together? I no longer follow the required intake instructions in regards to my medication for my physical health problems which is easy since I forget to take them anyway. I have seized making contact with any acquaintances as I have read social isolation and not having a partner can shorten your life expectancy. Probably the only people I speak to and see is my family because I live under their roof or people in the mental health services. It doesn’t bother me too much since I am not a social type of person. My self-care duties e.g. showering, are appalling and this is either due to my depression or me just being damn lazy.
I recently overheard a conversation of a 13 year old who commited suicide and it made me feel so much more of a failure that I cannot bring myself to do it but people who are younger and more naive than me can. I mean people do it all the time but I cannot even attempt it even with a plan in place. It just makes me look like an attention seeker when I tell people I feel like killing myself. It makes it look like I do not want to die badly enough when in reality I really do.

I am in the same situation, although I’m still looking for ways out. I think that I am almost there… If things get bad enough, I may just shoot myself in an isolated place and hope for the best.
Do you happen to have borderline personality disorder by any chance? Your other topic suggested BPD. If it makes you feel better, the average age for successful suicide in BPD is around 30-37 years of age. Maybe you’ll find better luck in five years?
I wish I could just pay someone to kill me. They can have all my stuff and cash and organs to sell.
I continue to search “ways to commit suicide” on google, I just never attempted it before. I don’t know if I have Borderline Personality Disorder for sure but I think it is a definite possibility. I was thinking of the exact same thing – I really do wish someone can assist me to commit suicide since I cannot do it myself but I think it is going to be a really fat chance!
Everyone is different my love. Wanting to die does not mean that you desire to feel pain-that is exactly what we want to escape. Its the same thing as someone loving scary movies while other people hate them- you are not weak, you are just different than that girl. I am so sorry you feel this way- I have been in your shoes so many times. I love you and I hope you find peace at some point <3
I completely understand. I am 13 and i just want to die but i can’t bring myself to suicide. I have tried many times but i was always holding back. But i think soon im gonna do one last attempt and itll work
