Seems everyone on here is young. I’m old and feel like I’ve lived my life and I don’t want to live anymore. I’m tired and have no future. I don’t think I’d be missed. Problem is I don’t want the stigma of suicide. I used to think I’d get in my car and plow head on into a semi at the last minute. Then I realized what it would do to the driver. I don’t want to hurt anyone else, physically or emotionally, I just want to die. Anyone have any ideas? Thought of driving my car into a bridge abutment. I just have to be sure I die.

It’s against the rules to share suicide methods here, as it should be. We should be trying to keep each other alive not encourage death. That’s just my opinion.
I’m sorry you’re going through a hard time. I’m 34 and although I’m still relatively young, I still feel like I’m too old to be having the thoughts I’m having, but there you are… I guess it never goes away. When I was a kid I also wanted to die.
63, I can’t imagine myself living that long. Can’t at all
Sorry, didn’t mean to share methods. Was only trying to say I don’t want to hurt or involve anyone else in the process.
I’m 48, older than most on here I suspect.
well i’m close to your age old timer!! your idea’s about killing yourself do stink! driving into thing’s, ha ha! need to put a little more thought into this! 🙂 i don’t have any idea why your wanting to die now? like me death is already licking your ass! what we can expect to live till what 70-78? we are almost there! you wanted this long, what’s a few more years? i joke around quite a bit, i myself am doing what ever i can to retire and collect and do what i want.
Unfortunately I have good genes and will probably live to 90 or more.
my dad is 94! and still drives and dances! women 65 try to pick up on him! you think your fucked!! i had about 5 women try to pick up on me today! all at least 20 years younger! life is a *****! 🙂 but all kidding aside, it’s our job to stick around! what would the lonely old laddies do with out us? it’s our job to spread a little sunshine where ever we go!
The only way to not hurt anyone physically / emotionally would be to atomize yourself somehow, when nobody knows you’re doing it, and leaving it a mystery as to where you went and what happened to you. Failing that, probably someone, somewhere will be emotionally or physically hurt. Them’s the breaks in this business.
I honestly thought I’d be in the older pool on here but quite the contrary. I’m 27 years old and been battling these urges for the last 15 years… honestly I thought I was doing better but I came to the realization that I was merely distracting myself to keep from feeling how I really do. I’ve never been happy in my entire life… it’s been one disappointment after another, the only thing I succeed at is failing. but no matter how badly I feel I don’t want to give up my hurt, it seems like it’s the only thing keeping me alive
I’m 61 and very weary. I wish that I would stay asleep and never wake up. Lately, I’ve been thinking maybe I can will myself to die. I just want to end the daily grind. I can’t imagine another 10 or 20 years of this pathetic nonsense.
I know exactly how you feel.
Honrstly… I think your life is over and you have nothing to livr forward to sadly.
Unless you have wife.
I don’t.
I think you have that backwards. Have a wife? Yes: life is over and nothing to look forward to. No? The world is your oyster!
No one to miss me and no one to share my life with.
Will be turning 50 this year and have been battling depression for more than half of my life. I know how you’re feeling and share your thoughts.
