I think it took more courage to return with the bottle and take a chance posting here. I’m so sorry about the pain.
I DID NOT KNOW HOW ANYONE COULD HAVE ANYTHING TO WRITE ABOUT MY ATTEMPT , IT WAS NICE OF YOU, I THINK THAT IS WHAT 99% OF PEOPLE SAY,(CAUSE WHAT CAN YOU SAY) BUT I FEEL IT DID NOT TAKE COURAGE AT ALL TO JUST GO BACK AND FACE THINGS AGAIN AND AGAIN. THANK YOU FOR THE EMPATHY.
My life has always been crap but it was made worse in 1997 when i was hit by a high speed semitrailer which broke my back, leg, 3 ribs and a finger. I have been in constant pain since then. I have been on MS Contin most of the time. I did try the Duragesic75 for a short time but found they didn’t stick well.
I lost all hope in 2009 and started crushing my MS Contin pills and injecting them. I thought with my severe sleep apnea and abusing morphine that I would easily stop breathing in my sleep one night but I didn’t. I’ll be turning 50 in January and I have no family of my own. I have no friends. I don’t work. I’m on a disability pension. I just went 5 days without leaving my house, showering or getting out of bed.
I have no reason to live but I seem to have gone past the stage of wanting to die. I have previously really wanted to kill myself because I hated not enjoying anything. Living a life with nothing to ever look forward to was intolerable for me and I really wanted to die but now I seem to just exist in a dissociative, depersonalized state. I have no energy and no motivation to do anything and this seems to include not having the energy to hate my life. I seem to be just existing oblivious to any real emotions that I once had.
Well, that was fucked, I could have told you that things will get better and you will one day enjoy life but, that’s not reality. Well, not my reality, maybe it is yours, I don’t know but not being able to kill yourself is a normal human thing. We have evolved with a drive to go on living as best we can and our bodies seem to adapt to the situation. I think my body has just gone into suspend mode, reserving battery life and only running the bare minimum basic applications that allow me to exist. I just don’t have the energy to push Ctrl/Alt/Del. I do hope you can find the drive to Reboot, even if it is only into “safemode”.
WELL MIKE THANKS FOR THE WORDS, I GUESS I FIND THIS SITE INTERESTING BECAUSE IT IS SOMEWHAT COMFORTING TO FIND SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE SO SIMILAR TO MYSELF, I WAS SURE THERE WAS A LOT OF PEOPLE, JUST DID NOT KNOW HOW TO FIND THEM, JUST STUMBLED ON THIS SITE TWO DAYS AGO, AND LIKE YOU STATED—- IT IS A SAFE MODE FOR NOW.
