Managing thoughts of suicide & self-harm

TW. No one can give me an answer.

TW. No one can give me an answer.

Ok, I just didn't dumb thing and looked up why shouldn't I killmyself on reddit.

Damn, too many hurting people. It hit hard. So many can relate to this space, but can't give one decent or straight answer to that question. Why should I stay alive? Why shouldn't I go through with my thoughts.

Idk what I was actually looking for or why am I even typing this. Some part of me hopes for an answer I guess. Hopes that life is more than this. Hopes that there is something I can find to live for.

But the reality is there just isn't anything, ever. I am tired. I'm in pain. I'm safe for now, but why should I be. Why does that matter.

I wish we had the freedom to talk about this more openly and honestly.

@chibam it's definitely a hard subject to be able to openly talk about anywhere.

And, just to be clear, that's not primarilly down to any inhibitions (or similar) on the part of those of us who have things that need to be said on the subject...

There are places - very obscure places - online where you can talk openly about this. I've been there. Trouble is, these places are so obscure that nobody ever gets to hear what we're saying.

@Ru-bee Honestly? Right now the only thing stopping me from ending it all is because our family cat passed away just yesterday and the household is already in shambles. I don’t want to add to their suffering.

But in time things will settle down and perhaps when everyone least expects it, I’ll be gone for good.

Hi.

Things got pretty bad. I'll be ok.

I'll pick myself up and maybe find an answer to this.
