I’ve had mental health problems since I was around 10 or 11 and I’m 22 now and frankly, I’m just getting worse and worse. The medical profession have basically written me off as a time waster because of a few failed attempts and because I’ve ended up in a&e from drug and alcohol abuse a fair few times. Although I don’t suppose that really matters because with a condition like mine, the best I’m going to get is “learning to cope”. Like, all I have to hope for is dragging out the time between breakdowns and getting better at talking myself off the metaphorical ledge. I’m never going to have a brain that functions. I’m never going to be able to cope with set backs. I mean jesus, I’ve gone totally off the rails again because my 3 month relationship didn’t work out, and I was doing pretty alright before that.
All I want to do is just go to sleep and not wake up. I kinda hate sleeping for this very reason because I know I’m gonna feel like hell when I actually do wake up.
I don’t have the energy to deal being me anymore. I really don’t. But I’m so tired of being treated like shit by medical professionals that I’m scared to try and kill myself again in case I wake up in a&e with a nurse calling me a time waster again.
If I lived in a country with more relaxed gun laws I’d have blown my brains out by now. I’m looking into the exit bag thing but I’m not having a lot of luck finding pure helium that’s affordable. Overdoses seem too damn scary because I don’t wanna spend a week dying slowly in hospital if I fuck it up, and I’ve tried and failed at slitting my wrists enough times to know that it really doesn’t work for me. I don’t have a car so I can’t CO myself or drive it into a tree, and there’s no high places around here that aren’t patrolled and/or easy to get to if you don’t have a car.
I’m even thinking of weird ways like injecting an air bubble into myself with needles from the needle exchange clinic. I just want to go.

Would you want to find something to live for? Or do you feel it set in stone that you wish to end the pain and suffering?
When you were in relationship how did it make you feel to be wanted in that deep level? I’m envious of you for being able to feel anything at all. A cold sociopath like me has no business in society :L
But you… you feel the emotions of one of the day walkers, you can do it if you want to. 🙂
Just saying that this: “all I have to hope for is dragging out the time between breakdowns and getting better at talking myself off the metaphorical ledge”….is something I understand – but you put it so damned well. Great writing.
