I think my suicidal idieation is turning to serious suicide planning.

I don't even know y I'm posting this because I DON'T want to be talked out of it.

Suppose this is just helping me think it out loud.

Bleh. Yeh, there's stuff going on that's stressful but there always is.

These thoughts are coming more often and I'm caring/thinking less and less about how much pain it will hive to my close people

I know what it is to be in that place. Keep smiling. You can do it. There's always hope, even when things seem as dark as they can possibly get. I've been there, and made it out the other side. Things can and do get better, I promise. My thoughts are with you
 
If it is your final intention, you won't be talked out of it.
But I spent many many hours where you are. Just thinking and planning brought relief.
I look back on it now and feel no shame or guilt. The pain I was in was bigger than the consequences.
Wish I could give you a defing moment when it changed but I can't. I just know it did.
You are very brave for sharing. I didn't.
I just know that somewhere I turned all that energy into healing work. Didn't mean I didn't still want to do it. Just meant I was challenging myself to put some distance 28th the thoughts. I set a time line. If nothing changed in six months then that option was still there.
I hope you find a tiny glimmer of Hope.

Not true. Some countries have "compassionate death" in which doctors are legally allowed to let their patients die with meds.

I consider her to be a true friend bc she's been through a lot of the same issues I have and she understands
 
@Smile - I am sorry you're in a very bad place right now. I've been there, and I understand that feeling, especially when it's gone on for years and the small changes seem overwhelmed by the big setbacks.

First off - we aren't a crisis site. Do you believe you are in danger of hurting yourself today? If so - please call your local crisis line or take yourself to the hospital.

The thing about choosing death is that it's a one-time-only choice. It's the end of the road. The pain doesn't end; everything stops. That's a very different thing. You aren't there to experience the pain ending, you are simply dead.

No-one can promise you it will get better; no-one can guarantee it will get worse, either. The one thing that is constant about everything is change. Things change. Time doesn't stand completely still. Sometimes our circumstances change, sometimes our viewpoint on them changes, sometimes both.

I read in another thread that your disability case was decided favorably, for you - do you think that is in any way relating to you having these thoughts right now?

I've removed the statement about your friend from your OP, and you are getting a warning for describing a method in a way that is too close to plan, and not just ideation. I want you to know that doesn't mean you can't talk on this thread. What it means is - if you are afraid, you need to reach out to the real world around you and get help. Call 911, call a crisis line, get to the hospital.

But if you need a place to express and vent about your frustration, your pain, your fear - this thread is here for you, and so are we. I don't know why I'm not giving up, either - the only reason I could give you is that I know that things do change, even if I'm not seeing them change right now. And I don't know how to take away that chance; I don't want to.

My heart goes out to you, and I'm thinking of you.
 
@Smile. I too have been where you are. Actually, I did the planning. I had my will drawn up, I gave away almost everything I owned, except for the big items. I didn't want to raise too many alarm bells with doing that. I got rid of everything else that I could. All I had left really, was my bed, couch and a few odd pieces of furniture. I even got rid of most of my clothing.

I wrote a letter to my best friend and mailed it on a Saturday morning, knowing she wouldn't get it till Monday. Then I took a shitload of pills and laid down. I mean a shitload of pills.

When the found me on Monday night, I was barely breathing. Shit I was still alive. Spent a week in the hospital, because my whole system was in pretty bad shape, and then almost 2 weeks in PSYCH ward.

Am I glad I'm still alive???? Honestly, I'm not glad, nor am I glad that I didn't die. I'm just here. But I am better as far as the PTSD is concerned. I've worked hard for the past few yrs since my last attempt, and things are ok. Not terrific, but ok.

I hope that whichever way that you decide, I hope that it's the right one for you. You can get better, maybe you just need a new approach to treatment....
 
...My psych doc had me go inpatient and then to intensive outpatient.
If you are in this much pain, you probably need that level of help?

It probably will not get better unless you do something different.

As much as I mean you well, I'm just someone on the other end of a computer terminal. You need professional help, I think. Urgently.

I think going to a county hospital with a psych unit and presenting yourself at the emergency room is probably called for-immediately.

Take some warm clothes without drawstrings, socks, a sweater, slip-on shoes if you have them.
 
Please go get some help. If you're posting on here you're looking for some kind of validation. When I was 22 I was in a psych ward begging them to kill me or let me die. The depression I went through after repressed memories coming back felt all encompassing and insurmountable. I'm 47 now. My life isn't perfect and I still get depressed, but I have found excellent help, support, and have made the promise that when the ideation turns to a plan I will tell and get help. I have a list of things I live for that I remember daily.
Depression is awful. The worst feeling. Crippling. But it is fixable, it can be lightened... it can be temporary.

I keep this number in my phone. Just call and talk. It's anonymous.
