Even since I finished school I wasn’t sure what I wanted to study… Am I supposed to know at age 16 what I want to do for the rest of my life??? What I’m good for?? In the last ten years since I graduated from High School, I’ve pursued more careers that most people in their live do: Law School (twice), Culinary arts, Graphical Design (twice), Vet School, Commercial Aviation, etc… And being a failure on all of them, until I pursued Hotel & Restaurant Management, and everything seemed to go extremely well, good grades, with not so many Relapses on Depression, self-harm and Voluntary […]

Accomplishment
What just happened?
Everything was going so well. It’s already seven p.m. and I haven’t felt suicidal all day. For me, that is a huge accomplishment. I spent the day with real smiles on my face. I felt like I was alive again. I thought “maybe everything will be all right now.”
I was wrong of course, I’m not all right.
Seven months. Seven fucking months I was cut free.
Not anymore. One cut, just one little slice and a few drops of crimson from that little shard of glass I keep in my room. Suddenly those seven months are gone. Just like that, one moment of weakness.
My promises are broken, the […]
I can’t seem to get myself to do the simplest things. I am wading through life fighting against this current that tells me it would be better if I just left this plane and stop wasting resources. I feel ashamed constantly and I can’t shake off this feeling that the future is hopeless. I am disoriented. I want to get better, I’ve done therapy, meds, drugs, and yet this heaviness, this emptiness still lingers. Even with some of the ups I’ve had this monster of a feeling is ready and waiting to take me back into the darkness.
I’m stuck between wanting to break free and […]
Lately I’ve been pulled in by this weird trance like gaze. Anything I look at I start to key in and never blink. Behind the stare in the eyes is sadness, bitterness and impatience. My lids seem frozen in time, my teeth lock, and my heart slows to a crawl (not sure if literally). I then shakes my head and keep doing things at lightning speed. Rush rush rush. If I can’t die then I have to force myself to be blindly fast. Unfortunately my blinding fast is going from a snail to a tortoise. It’s faster for me but not really fast to everyone […]
I could SEE the pain.  It was visible. Â
And I felt a sense of accomplishment.  It hurt as I did it – but then felt kinda good.  Like relief.  I think I finally get it.
Next step is to see if deeper = more relief.  Until (hopefully), deep enough to end all pain.
Just dying. I have really little, if anything to live for. I have a hard time imagining any accomplishment that would cause me to transcend the feeling of wanting to be dead that I’ve been experiencing for the past several months. I have done yoga. I have done meditation. I’ve taken all kinds of medication and talked about every aspect of my life. Tried to tie up loose ends in my relationships, but I am broken.
This is my first time on this site. In an effort to do something about my isolation I have volunteered to be a stage hand for a play being produced at a local theatre festival in August. I am meeting the director today and feel so nervous to commit to this. On the one hand I think committing and following through with something would be a real accomplishment – not to mention the social opportunities. But I am SO afraid I will let them down by not showing up on a need-to-stay-in-bed day or an I-feel-paralyzed day or whatever. I really want to challenge myself […]
I read about all these teenagers and people in their early 20s feeling suicidal. I remember being in that age group and feeling the same way. Hope always got me through. Now I’m 51. I’m single. Nothing to show for my life except that I’ve survived. That’s my accomplishment. I still feel like giving up. Every day. Themes such as ‘hope’ and ‘potential’ don’t mean as much once you cross into your 50s. I used to think that one day I would meet a girl and we would fall in love have a great life together with children and family trips and I would be […]
The aroma of flowers exciting your olfactory senses and overwhelming you with wafting scents;
The riot of color within the botanical garden blinding your sight with its myriad spatterings like an artist’s paintboard;
The soothing texture of the cooling sand is calming as you curl your toes in it while enjoying the lovely sunset at the beach;
The goosebumps and relaxation you get from the cool water while paddling your board out to catch the elusive night waves;
The taste of your favorite food tantalizing your buds as you enjoy it after it has been prepared with loving hands;
The harmony of the music that soothes you as you blast it […]
Hahaha nothing really matters anymore and no one acts like they care so why should I. My hatred for everyone who talks/looks at me continues to grow. I care for almost no one and like i said they don’t seem to care about me. I wake up feeling numb and emotionless my nightmares wake me up in the night giving me the only sense of emotion I have.  I hate life tonight i think i am going to try suicide for the 4th time and it most likely won’t work ( let’s just say I would make a really sucky murderer) and when it doesn’t work it […]
Before I begin, if you might want to read my previous post for some context. Â http://suicideproject.org/2012/03/want-to-just-die/
I’m still here. Â Not much of an accomplishment really. Â Still depressed. Â Still having very suicidal thoughts. Â Not constantly, but it’s like they’re always there, waiting for me to have just one very bad day.
My ex and I were friends. Â The she just stopped returning my texts. Â I didn’t know why. Â Still not sure I do. Â About three weeks ago. Â I texted her and basically wouldn’t stop until she told me what was going on. Â All she said was that I can be annoying somtimes. Â I admit that sometimes this […]
I’m the type of person who is happy go lucky… So to speak. I’ve been blessed with the gift of making others laugh… It feels good, mostly. The problem with having that trait is people always expect you to make them laugh… You can never be serious, the biggest problem I’m facing as of late… People think I’m dumb… That hurts. I give so many people my time and try to make them feel good for the time they’re around me… And I’m dumb… No one realises that I’m actually pretty smart, because the second I’m not making people laugh I am tuned out. No […]
