Yesterday was strange. It was the second time my entire life I actually considered killing myself. The last time was probably 4 or 5 years ago, when I stood over a bridge, peering at all the cars driving below.
Over the past 5 days, being awake just involved thinking about killing myself. Driving over a bridge? “Why not drive off it?” Driving while it rains? “Turn off the wipers and drive with limited visibility.” Cutting something in kitchen? “Cut yourself.” I opened my eyes today and the first thought was, “I want to kill myself.”
I’m sleep deprived still, and even if i get sleep, it’s always broken, or only 3 hours.
Just yesterday, I think I just snapped after holding it in. I vaguely remember my brother being by my side and trying to talk to me, but my mind was blank, everything was blurry and time was distorted. I was there, but not really. Later today he told me said that he tried to talk to me but I said nothing at the time. I don’t even remember that.
I remember being sad and people spamming me with messages. My friends were there with me, but they couldn’t reach me. It was like a dream. 1 minute seemed like eternity, and then suddenly it’s the next day. I’m not sure where I am, and it feels like just yesterday I was happy and days were brighter or something like that.
I’ve always cut on my arm, with the intention of numbing pain. But for the first time I gave up and I put it to my neck. Had a little poke at the wrist as well, the skin on the arm is much thicker than a wrist I must say. I don’t remember much after that.
I considered driving myself directly to the hospital and doing voluntary admission. But I’ll go to the doctor sometime.
I keep wondering when I’ll stop feeling like this. But then again it doesn’t matter does it? I’m not really here and the flow of time continues on.
I feel broken and time is distorted. Funny though, because I made this account years ago and it seems to perfectly describe how I am right now.

It’s a cliche, but things will get better. If this is rock bottom, do you really think nothing will ever make you smile again? You’ll feel better than this at some point, and maybe it’s worth sticking around to feel that.
