If You are Thinking about Suicide, Please Read This

I've been reading this thread for the past several hours and don't really know how to respond, yet I want so badly to say something that will make all the pain, loneliness, and heartache go away. I just want you to know that I am thinking of each and everyone of you who are going through this at the moment.

I've also been there, and one day was actually riding around and calling some people to borrow a gun as I had made up my mind to do this. Only problem was that I could not find or contact any of 5 or 6 people I was looking for. After that I realized that maybe fate was the reason? My depression came about from the drugs I took and how they affected my family. I am older than most of you posting here, just turned 54 in March, so I ended up losing my wife of 25 years because of the drugs,and went into debt $40,000 buying drugs over the internet, for which I am still paying for even today. I also have a 24 year old son who's respect I also lost. I remember it like it was yesterday. I cried constantly and comteplated suicide from July of 2005 to February of 2008. Work was utter hell as I did not want to be around anyone, but everyday I faced 30 middle school students, and everyday thought about saying fuck it and quit, just walk out, get in my car, get on the hwy, and crash my car into a bridge abbutment, even had the one picked out I was going to use. But everytime I thought to take action and finally do it, I would think of my son and the total devastation it would cause him, and I could not do it.

It has been over 2 years now and I finally snapped out of the depression/funk I was in and set about repairing the relationship with my son. Today we are closer than ever.

I wasn't going to post this at first as it sounds corny and probaly is not helpful at the present time. Then I thought it couldn't really hurt anything, and it would hopefully demonstrate that things can get better if you hang in there. Also that the things affecting you, and causing you to consider suicide are no respecter of age, since I thought these feelings were not what someone my age should have, that I should be more mature about it. Well fuck that! When I finally accepted myself for who I was and accepted the feelings, I was able to go on and get to where I am now.


Again my heart really goes out to you folks and if ANYONE wishes to pm me just to talk, I will gladly listen.
It is very brave of you to post this despite your insecurity of it being corny and not helpful. It was not corny because it came from the fucking heart, and it was helpful because it got me (and surely dozens if not hundreds others) to look at the relationship between unique painful experiences and suicidal ideation via a different perspective. It did at least affect one suicidal person - it makes me see how there can be so many sources of pain I am not aware of because I'm too absorbed in what is currently causing me pain. Perhaps planning for worst case scenario situations such as what has occurred to you would help drastically. It'd take a lot of forethought though. I also feel great gratification giving advice as well, so feel free to ask some from me, although you have drastically more life experience, maybe my relative naivety (only 20) will offer some kind of help if you catch my drift.

Was the past mention of your previous problems catharsis and is currently resolved (which seems to be the case), or would you like some observations on them? I'd be glad to if that is the case.

Don't be afraid to post here. No assholes in this section, this is literally a support group and internet support groups have been proven to be just as effective as a standard sit-down type. And they help a lot, believe me.

Giving advice and getting advice are both equally beneficial. I'd like to see you around here more if you wish and/or have the time. Don't be insecure, everyone here is sincerely nice (this isn't the lounge or whatever). I wish you the best of luck and keep in touch.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

My situation, dire and very scary, would appreciate some feedback:

Everyone around me has been mentioning that I have been experiencing noticeable mania, just mania not mixed. I've done an unbelievable amount of ridiculous shit (though I don't remember most of them) and I am having perceptual distortions if not outright visual and auditory hallucinations, I can at least acknowledge that. I've long passed the euphoric phase and now this is a complete living hell. Mania, contrary to "common knowledge," is not fun and games. I've been profoundly suicidal every night (does not seem to occur during daytime though, but regardless I cannot sleep - this is day 5) to the point where I plan it out, research most effective possible methods, decide where to do it, my thoughts absorbed in these demonic gory scenes behind my eyelids and dark black lines distancing myself from the outside world, laying ruin to self-awareness and thus placing myself at a higher risk. It is so strange that I am so deeply suicidal during a manic episode (I tend to be mixed), has anyone else had similar experiences?

I really do fear for my life at the present moment. Every night I ask myself very seriously, "am I going to survive tonight?"

Thank you Cloudburst. Guess I was more concerned with the age difference that there might be, and then that whole "never trust anyone over 30" LOL! I've heard that 54 is the new 34 and that is actually about how old I feel. I look at others my age and hope, just hope I am not as stuffed shirt and stodgy as some of them are. For them it looks like 54 is the new 74!

My problem was with hydrocodone and that is in the past. I still have pain issues and am now on tramadol and ibuprofen. Even though, I am definately dependant/addicted to it, with a tremendous tolerance.

But anyway, I have great empathy for the folks who are currently going through this extremely trying times, and as I said before, you are in my thoughts and wish you nothing but the very best.
 
Nah man, you're a baby boomer, you grew up in culturally relevant times even by today's standards. You had Sex Pistols, we have Jonas Brothers, etc. So maybe it should be the other way around. :P God, fucking yuppies, I can't imagine anyone liking those types...

Hydrocodone is what catapulted me into addiction too. It is also in the past, but I still abuse opiates whenever I can come across them. The tolerance seems to last forever for me as well.

As you've said everyone is in my thoughts and I would be profoundly distraught if someone ended up on the shrine like I almost did. Some posts here can be disturbing to many, yes, for obvious reasons yet on one hand, it can serve benefits. If I'm a suicidal person, isn't it somewhat hypocritical of me to be disturbed over that in a way? It also gives me just a small glimpse of what those close to me are going through. Plus it teaches me I still have human feelings like compassion, feelings I felt were raped from me.

It's getting late. Near suicidal time. To be honest, I can't take it anymore. No, not killing myself. Self-medication. I guess they can be one and the same in a way.
 
OK. Im fucked up. FUcked my real friendships up for good. I dont know where to go. Should I just check my pathetic ass in rehab? Im fucking so sick of this. I got used tonight. I get used alot. Seems to happen to much. Im thinking of just doing the seroquel,benzo,opiate, amphetamine, death cocktail tomorrow, maybe ass some darvocet and some tramadol as well who cares. Really. This fucking sucks. I want to break everything around me right now.
 
im thinking tomorrow morning im driving my ass to a pretty place ...I wont mention here...and just lie down.....maybe be found after a few days...rotting..since im just a piece of shit to everyone
 
Right now I can't decide if I'm suicidal or homicidal, I'm so full of rage. Maybe I'm both. It's a fucking meth rage, that's what it is. I have so much pent up energy I feel like I'm just gonna explode and take out the whole fucking world with me.
 
Sweet P, definitely possible to be both suicidal and homicidal. There have been countless instances of suicide out of sheer rage, and on the other side of the coin, sorrow to the point of killing your family for their best interests in what they see as a hellish world. Anger and sadness really aren't different, they're just different points on a spectrum. Just remember it will be over soon.

BandO,

I was in a very similar position at 20. That was when I attempted suicide seriously for the first time. I was all fucked up most of the year on heroin, ecstasy, benzos, amphetamines, coke, acid, etc. etc. etc. I was a mess. I was cutting to the point I couldn't show any skin in summer and everyone was noticing. I was using with this guy who I was in love with and he was pretending to be in love with me to use me for my money. I lost all my real friends who weren't using because I was shitty to them.


The thing is, I'm almost 23 now, and still alive. Trust me, it's not really EASY so to speak, but it is a lot better since I got clean. And, okay, full disclosure, I drink and take benzo everyso often, but as of next Tuesday, I will have been off heroin for a year. I also went 9 months without ANY substances. It really, really, really, REALLY helped my depression, anxiety, and tendency to glamorize suicide.


I can empathize with how you feel because I honestly thought that I would never get out of the situation I was in and that it was pointless to continue to suffer and suicide was the only way out. But the thing is, it IS pointless to continue to suffer, but suicide ISN'T the only way out.


Like you brought up, you can try rehab. Are you in therapy at all or have you ever been? What about AA or NA, or SMART recovery if you are against the spiritual nature of those programs?


Please send me a PM if you would like to talk. We can exchange AIM names if you want.

Thanks... 10mg's of haloperidol soon brought an end to it. Feeling better today.
 
Hey Sweet P. Glad you are doing better! I hope today brings you some peace as well. I know how negative feelings just compound negative feelings to the point you don't think straight and you don't think there is a way out. Several times I had that bridge abbutment lined up in my sights, but thankfully I never went through with it. Again, I hope all with peace today!

I called and a done clinic so I can possibly get subs and im put on a month long waiting list unless I go to this meeting next week. This is really the shittiest I've felt and I dont know what it is. Well...I feel good just very very nauseated. I think it was the tramadol. I have no idea. I havent been off the lors,morp,dope,percs blah in a little over a month. This was the first day I had to just tough it out. Ive slept since 5 didnt wake up till about 11. Im ready for tomorrow. I dont even know. Ugh. Now im having trouble getting back to bed.

Thank you! I've learned that meth + sleep deprivation = a crazy Sweet P. As long as I keep up my usual sleep routine (even if that means taking major tranquilisers like I did last night) I'm a lot more mentally stable.
 
i really want to die...
i'm HIGHLY addicted to heroin with an INSANE tolerance
my wd is indescribable
there are no places around me i can go to get help. they all require insurance. or are out of my county.
im just very lost.
back in november i recevied a 40,000 dollar settlement for a car accident i was in and its all gone to dope IN TWO MONTHS I SPENT 40GRAND ON FUCKING DOPE!!!!!!
i'm such a fucking dumbass loser peice of shit..

I know how you feel. Having being addicted to gambling, blowing loads of my parents money. blowing loads of my own money on drugs and alcohol. Iv been left in the dust with nothing left but my thoughts of how much of a bad person i have become. I wish i could goback in time, but now i have no option to live every awfull moment day by day. and continue to post and learn new things on bluelight, hopefully to even remotly, restor myself back to the way.. i ustu be..
 
^ You're not a bad person. You may have made some bad choices, but who hasn't? Hang in there. Things can improve.
 
It's odd how one minute I feel like there's no other choice but suicide and the next minute I'm fine. It must be the meds kicking in. I'm trying to make those feelings become further and fewer.
 
It really does. I have not been well lately either. I have been considering walking out in the woods with a syringe of fentanyl.

.... then I keep thinking about my parents.

I do not know anymore.
