I guess that I write this for others so that they know suicide can be a rational choice, not simply an emotional over reaction.
As the title says I am actually healthy, in fact surprisingly so given my age and I’m a few stone overweight. Bit like Kevin James.
My job is ideal, in that I’m constantly top of my team despite basically turning up and just doing what I do. My managers all like me, as do the staff. I was given a permanent contract early into probation, and 8 months in they hint of promotion. A decent paying and easy government job.
I have a good circle of friends though by nature a loner, but still hit the town every couple of weeks, and can have a night of pool, cinema or beer easily with just a quick text.
No partner or kids, by choice. Never been very interested in sex though had my share in the past. Even been proposed to once.
Not all perfect- in fact just now summarises my main flaw. At work a very attractive, much younger girl showed interest in me but having had a bad similar experience recently I ignored her. Created an odd tension. Last week I sat next to her for a few days and couldn’t seem to initiate conversation. Finally on Friday afternoon we started talking and really got on well, sharing similar tastes. People thought we were hosting a mini comic-con we were so animated. However now I’ve moved back things have felt slightly awkward again.
I just bring this up because my one major flaw in life has been relationships. Like above they never flow smoothly and it’s always awkward. Maybe because I don’t really crave relationships. I don’t know. It’s definitely my weakest point.
Anyway for months I have wanted to get out on top – I’ve wanted to die for some time but getting this job was also a way of saying screw you to the last place where I was unfairly dismissed. Many people were delighted I fought back and triumphed so for me it was a win-win all over.
But I feel things are the best they will ever be and this is a good time. My limited family is now in the military and doing well. Also quite unemotional so won’t be devastated. I have no parents since losing my Mother and no kids so no dependencies. I have no interest in relationships recently despite having passes made at me quite a few times this year.
I love my home and will pass peacefully in bed. Finally found a reliable supplier of that ‘Magic Bullet’ N. Two bottles plus other pills. Took a while as I was nearly fooled by an ‘American’ supplier whose Western Union address was in Cameroon. Then, Boom, at my lowest it appeared.
As you can see I have planned this well, and studied minimum doses etc and accelerants so there will be no mistakes. I want peace and no mess for others. I plan to take time off work to say my goodbyes to friends (though not telling them) and will leave letters for work, family and others so they know they had no part in this: this is of my own free will and choosing.
I don’t believe in any Afterlife as we would understand it. I hope it’s nothingness and I think I’m right.
That’s it- I put this out there so others can know you don’t have to be depressed or in pain to make this choice. It can be entirely rational. Your Life is your own to do with as you will( I recommend the play ‘Night Mother for this) and as long as you can go peacefully at your own choosing it’s fine.
You can say it’s selfish, but simply to continue existing for the benefit of others is maybe the most selfish request of all.
I WISH YOU ALL PEACE AND HAPPY REST.
PAX!

With all the above that you’ve written, have you ever considered that you don’t have happiness or joy in your life? That can be depression. It’s all meaningless in the end without love, awakening that element in your heart, and an appreciation for Nature.
I’m not trying to stop you, just sayin’. If I had those pills, I might not be around either. It’s all up to you.
Vedura (age 72) and still fighting the battle.
A very interesting perspective- Thanks.
Can I e-mail you pls, BML84 ?
Awesome post, btw.

That was a great post. I relate to many of the things you wrote.
Glad it helped- it’s why I wrote it.
“You can say it’s selfish, but simply to continue existing for the benefit of others is maybe the most selfish request of all.” – nailed it on the head

Peace to ya
Thank You! Who knows, you may be right. I hope not.
Can you please let me know where did you get the pills from??? Please help me.
Sorry but I’m not here to enable another’s destruction- only you can help you.
that is very sad why give up there has to be a silver lining I don’t believe that isn’t depression talking so your just going to give up then my mother died too it ripped me apart I’ve never had a boyfriend I’m not giving up I have friends family God and someone I recently got to know who has brought joy into my life many people will be affected and your just going to ignore that and that there is life worth living if you said your a loner you feel alone you can put yourself out there you just chose not to because something is holding you back you avoisly care about her and get along I’m sure she would be very sad to hear your gone you could at least have her as a friend if your not wanting a realtionship I think your missing out on how great your life can be if you choose to keep living
Sorry, but I’m not here to enable another’s destruction- only you can help you.
*SORRY* That last was a reply to the previous comment.
And Thank You- you sound very kind and sincere.
I even wonder if what you said about something holding me back has a grain of Truth in it.
However, I am a Loner, not lonely. Believe it or not I never felt loneliness in my life till my Mother died. Hard to adjust to a new emotion at 40.
I think you meant that girl at work? I made a point of talking to her and she is nice. I don’t want to leave any negative feelings amongst anybody. At the same time I don’t want to make emotional connections as that would be cruel.
As I’ll only be there for one more week (I’ll be taking sick time to say my final goodbyes) I intend to make a point of being nice to her and everyone else.
Thanks for the positive thoughts-however I truly believe it’s all downhill from here and I want to step off before I plummet to the basement.
I wish you Health & Happiness.
then you just might see how beautiful life can be you just have to hold on
My mother died in her 60s due to alcohol in 2015 I have a hard time around her birthday Mother’s Day my birthday right now I’m having a hard time and it doesn’t have to do with her seems when someone likes me I only push them away I’m afraid to talk to this person anymore just because I feel talking will comferm my feeling rejected is true I have waited so long to find someone I am having a pity party sorry I was actually planning on closing my heart off to men and then I met someone and he made my heart melt with his hey darlin and his smile and his beautiful story I was happy I’m sorry you don’t feel like living
I think your missing out but that is just me
