Justifiable suicide?

by thatdaydreamer
written by thatdaydreamer

I’m hoping this post triggers a discussion, because I need to hear some opinions from some people who don’t know me personally. All comments would be appreciated.

I’m soon to turn 24 and have been ill since I was 7. Over the years, my physical illness has made me feel extremely anxious, embarrassed, ashamed and worthless. The severity of my illness has fluctuated, causing periods of false hope which result in deeper and deeper depression every time I’m back to my normal, bedridden state.

My illness (which I shan’t fully describe), among many other unpleasant symptoms, leaves me in constant pain which is not even touched […]

You’re Gone feat. Andrei

by bullfrog
written by bullfrog

So Andrei and I conceived this piece about 3 months ago, we both recorded our parts about 2 months ago, but we’ve had the track in post-production since then. This will definitely appear to music pretty soon, but we both thought that it could stand okay raw for people that like poetry.

As always, the poem is below for people that like to read along.

You’re Gone

[Bullfrog]
I loved everything about you,
From your nervous smile to the way your face would flush without warning when you felt the slightest bit uncomfortable.
And since you’ve gone there’s just some little things,
Sensory memory triggers of the joy […]

I’ve been depressed ever since I was a kid, and I have a family history of suicide, depression, bipolar disorder, and mental breakdowns (although fortunately, no schizophrenia).  I’ve just recently graduated from college and have been in the “working world” for two years.

A few things I’ve learned in my 25 years of living:

No one truly has your interests at heart but you, so “look out for number one”.  Just plan on other people letting you down, because they always will.
Most people are incredibly stupid, have half-thought out opinions, are irredeemably wrong about just about everything, have no interest in discovering/creating a consistent worldview/weltanschauung, and are […]

No impulse control

by Braininjured
written by Braininjured

I suffered a brain injury 5 years ago and came out of it pretty well considering. Last summer I suffered another injury that has caused some of my brain injury to come back along with new problems. I lack impulse control and I’m severely depressed and get angry easily. It’s just a matter of time before that lack of impulse control triggers me to act on my depression. Even without that problem I try and talk myself out of committing suicide. It would be so much easier for this life to be over.

Triggers

Tiny things, really.

Things that shouldn’t affect you, but do.

 

A gulp of water

reminds you of

washing pills down your throat

one pill, two pills, three…five…seventeen…thirty-one.

That was nearly two years ago, and the sensations are as vivid as if it was only last week.

Funny how the human mind works sometimes.
