I haven’t posted in a while, but last time I did I was contemplating on ending my existence. At the time I did not have a reliable method and decided to delay the process. I recently bought an illegal handgun and plan on taking my life tonight with one of the most lethal methods possible. If I do survive then I know I’m going to be suffering severe injuries and may end up worse than I am now, but I’m willing to take that risk. Everybody knows that guns and suicidal individuals don’t mix very well, but it’s only a matter of time before I […]

I don’t believe in any particular afterlife so when someone close to me dies I know […]
I’ve finally made an account on here. I don’t know where this will take me but it’s a relief that I’m not the only one thinking/feeling this particular way about life. I should be grateful that I live in one of the “best” first world countries in a middle class family with shelter, food, water, and many opportunities in life, but that’s not the case. I’ve been clinically depressed for 4 years now which has made my life a living hell. It’s almost as if a switch was flipped, one day I was really happy and the next day everything took a turn for the […]
