Something’s not right

Life after Suicide……………………….

Life after Suicide……………………….

TW: Discusses suicide

It has been just over 2 years since my suicide.

I have issues over what to call it, to say suicide attempt, implies that I failed at the task of dying, but I didn’t fail, I did suicide its just that ED bought me back.

I was so angry when I woke up, then the guilt tripping began, how could I do this to my family, how could I do this to my children, it would have ruined their life, what type of mother could leave her children behind, how could you be so selfish……………….

Have you suicided? Did you awake thankful to still be on this earth or are you here because you’re shamed and humiliated for your choice?

Re: Life after Suicide……………………….

Hello @AussieRecharger I’m dissociating I suspect, not sure where my day has gone. Floating between past memories, and suicide ideation.

Stuck in that loop where I can only see the bad things that HAVE happened, that lead to the bad things that ARE happening.

I am exhausted .

Re: Life after Suicide……………………….

Yes, I have done that @StayOrGo and I’m selfish for not putting the needs of my family before my own despair.
Thank you for sharing xx
