Guilt is part of why I feel I deserve to die; it’s also why I’m alive. I was going to end it all around Christmas of 18’, but here I am at the beginning of 2020. I kept running through my head the consequences, the people who’d find me, or clean up after me, identifying me, burying me. I’ve never wanted to traumatize anyone with my death, I just wanted to disappear. And so my guilt for how my death by methods accessible to me now would affect others- it kept me alive. here I am at the beginning of 2020. The inevitability of suicide seems certain as death itself. So does the inevitability or abandonment, though, despite my bpd- I try to hope that that fear is unfounded. I’m in a good relationship. I mean, for complicated reasons my needs and wants tend to fall on the wayside but. It’s not that important honestly. I try to just enjoy what we have and not want or expect too much. In a previous post I talked about how no matter what I have or what’s going on, the emptiness follows me. And that’s no one’s fault. I’m just broken- my breaking is inevitable.

“…the people who’d find me, or clean up after me, identifying me, burying me.”
The very idea makes me sick. When I go, nobody’s gonna know. To hell with funeral. I’ll disappear forever.
Truly, guilt is the bane of our existence. That’s what is holding me back so long as my parents are living. I’m so ready to go that the day the last of them dies, I’ll simply disappear forever.
Until then guilt is my kind of girl.
Yeah- the only method available to me would make all those things an issue which- well- makes me sick, as you say. My guilt has saved my life, and it keeps me from living my life fully. It messes with my relationships and it makes my heart too heavy to walk.
