About four months ago I tried to take my own life by driving as fast as I could head on into a truck. I couldn’t live with the things I’d done to my favorite people or with myself. Living in this body I’m so trapped. I drugged myself up on benzos, alcohol, coke and weed all night and crashed into that truck. I have no memory of that night or the weeks before, so I don’t know how rash the decision was. I do know I was severely depressed, my sister told me I talked to her on the phone crying and I couldn’t promise her that I wouldn’t hurt myself. I do remember one of the main reasons I was so distraught, and please don’t judge me on this because I was really fucked up on alcohol and benzos (not that that’s an excuse), was because I raped my best friend while she was sleeping. It was the most horrible thing id ever done I really couldn’t believe I did that I felt so shitty. To clarify it wasn’t for long and I didn’t even finish. But unfortunely she got pregnant and had to get an abortion, all while I was in the hospital. I really should have died, I really wish I did. I brok both ankles, right fibia and tibia, both knees, both femurs, my hip socket, and lacerated my liver and pancreas, lost a kidney, my spleen, and part of my colon. On top of all that my heart stopped and the did emergency sinching of the aorta to save me. I had terrible hallucinations when I was in the ICU as well, much of my memory of that time I can’t trust because I was so delusional with all the trauma and drugs they were giving me. Anyway it was a very long recovery and now I am finally back home. Can barely walk, can’t don’t anything I used to love. Living with my parents. Having no freedom. No way to make money. No direction in life. And tonight I’m lying here next to a kitchen knife about to slit my throat

What happened to the driver of the truck?
He was lightly injured not too bad
I’m thinking of suicide tonight also.
I always wonder what being dead is like, are you afraid of death after your experience?
It’s a difficult night for me as well.
@definitelyworried do you ever have an easy time? Why are you so worried?
I’m worried because I was brought up religious and sometimes I believe there is an afterlife.
I’m worried because this is the biggest decision I have ever made, I’m worried because what if something goes wrong and I become a vegetable, or what if hanging is more painful than it seems, I know my family will be in pain.
You know I never have an easy time and if there is nothing after this, I’ll be ok.
@definitelyworried I wish I knew your story. Is it posted on here somewhere?
It’s a long weird story.
All I could say is that I’m a 32 year old male.
And I been experiencing fears regarding legal issues, homelessness, family health issues, and financial issues, I fear my future being depressed and scared.
I’ve read your story and I don’t think that you should try suicide you said you are afraid to be without housing, but think you live in the usa you still have chace to go to know her to europe and get a job and if you don’t is very anti social as I could find one with ease
Problem is that I’m afraid that I will be a convicted USA felon criminal, I don’t think I could get resedency anywhere worth living in the world.
People at the brink of suicide have my sympathy. People who intentionally hurt others (truck driver) because they’re too fvkcing selfish to care what they’re doing get NO sympathy. Pick a different method.
I’m so sorry about that I wasn’t going into that night thinking I would do that
What was being dead like gills?
You should probably slit your throat, or turn yourself in for “raping your friend while she was sleeping”
I’m being sarcastic, but really?
Wow I really didn’t post this to get these type of mean comments. I felt so bad about that that i had to confess it to her the next day and she forgave me. She could have called the police but she understood.
parties/intimacy with drugs/alcohol are always difficult situations…..drugs/alcohol are often used to give people confidence they might not already have….or sometimes it makes things more enjoyable (or in some cases bearable, which i hate that i have to say this)….
sometimes asking people what happened might be a good idea….or talking to a friend….
like…..people who ducked out…..or people who were less intoxicated than you….not that being intoxicated is entirely bad…..
whenever drugs/drinking are involved it is always really easy to quickly start pointing fingers….sometimes in the wrong directions…..i try to stay pretty sober or limit my intake….and go places to sober up alone when i know i am really intoxicated….at times i leave early because i know shit is about to happen that i don’t want to be around for….sometimes it is better to drive slightly intoxicated than to stay at a party (why knowing your limit is important)…..but i also get that being drunk or high makes talking about certain things easier…..
….they might be able to offer you some insight or clarity about a situation…..
if a person is sleeping/passed out, there’s not ‘intimacy’ happening on her end, which is pretty clear. intoxication doesn’t erase that.
