I am depressed, hard to hold a job, had a brain injury 10 year’s ago. Today, I was suppose to commit suicide but everytime I put the rope around my neck, I can’t seem to move the stool up from underneath me. I have nothing to live for, as I don’t want to date anymore either. Wish that I had something orally that I can take. 36 years old.

I can very much relate to how you’ve been through. I had cut and od’d multiple times. Its not enough that God wouldn’t let us live in peace, He wont let us die in peace either.
anyhow i wish you all the luck Bro, may we find peace here or on the other side
While circumstances are different, I completely and wholeheartedly understand what you described. It’s that dammed survival instinct to remain and grow old.
Oftentimes, if not daily, I genuinely wish I wasn’t born. Life is thrust upon us regardless of whether we like it or not. Instead of suicide, I wish personally there was a “Never-was-born-and therefore-never-existed-button”. I would have pressed it a very long time ago which would have made this post non-existant too. Suicide is the next best thing… But it has its complexities including that what you’ve described.
Not everyone enjoys life. Similarly, not everyone hates life either. Each group of people can’t understand the contrasting group of people. But, that’s another conversation and debate; a debate that has existed for the ages.
I do wish you the best in whatever you decide but hope that whatever you decide is not without care and consideration. Talk with someone if you can.
Similar to the poster before me, I wish you the peace you rightfully deserve.
I thought about the never being born situation, but I am happy for the time that I enjoyed, having stopped breathing at bith in all; don’t know if that was the onset of my initial brain damage or not. I do know that I wish there was a checkout button. Why should I have to live to be 80 years old? I congratulate those who have endured the length of time. I have 2 grandmother’s, one 80 and the other 99. I don’t dare want to live that long but I am happy that they have, I know it’s not easy and all getting around, etc. I just want to die young; I guess it had not been for brain damage, a true love dying in an auto accident which led to some more depression, I’d want to stick around longer. I feel cheated, while other go on to live less physically and mentally challenged lives.
Medicines don’t really work. Your body tries to fight it at every level. Sorry about your brain injury!! I can relate as I was born with having have a brain condition that causes strokes. Sucks balls.
I use to have a more enjoyable life and It seems to me that medication makes things worse with the brain chemistry. I hope that you continue to be well with your condition.
Sorry about your brain injury. I wish I can take something orally too.
Do you live alone? do you think having someone around who can relate to your problems can make things better?
Thanks for asking. I stay with family but its challenging too. My brother it bipolar and abusive at times, mom seems depressed at times and grandma is emotionally abusive though a stronge provider. I think that being alone would be worse though there’s family dysfunction.
:/ i can imagine. what could keep you busy or away from suicidal thoughts?
