I was quite close to ctb at 15, and was quite, quite suicidal, hospitalized in psych ward for 9 days due to a very deep cut with a razor (accidental) I was just trying to SI (self-injure) for the drug fix to get me through the hellish day, so in a day or two I could 'go for it', with a razor, how ghastly!! I'd done no research...as naive as could be, just needed OUT. Luckily! I survived. And went on to live for another 15 years, with cycles of hellish depression each one, lots of toil, hard work, etc...I'm so glad that I stayed to work through so much within my own personality, and to prove myself, to myself that I could succeed, and relatively speaking did quite well...I enjoyed a privileged life that I earned by laboring, no silver spoon. Anyhow, now at 31...I'm quite ready...as all the dreams added up to naught. Though I wonder, is the same thing about to happen again, if I simply don't ctb? But I'm going mad, crazy, really losing it, isolated, alienated and so quality of life is just going down the toilet. I feel I'm ranting and hijacking a post! Yeah, so I'm glad I lived long enough to earn these lessons...I regret not exiting sooner for sure...but I certainly 'worked through' with CBT and a good therapist a lot of shit, and if the world were a more hospitable place for sensitive empathic people I'd love to stay here...but living in the 6th Extinction and feelin' it is just too much to bare. I'm not leaving a note so I hope my maker reads this and comprehends. Ugh, what a Horror humanity has become, sheer horror.
