A summary of my life:

I am 30 years old. Between the ages of 10 and 11, I developed depression. I have taken many different medications over the years, but none have had significant positive effects. Some things that contributed to my developing depression were the bullying I suffered because of my appearance at that time, social phobia, and also around the same time my father cheated on my mother, which caused her to have many migraine attacks and possibly fibromyalgia, which left me constantly stressed because I cared. Around the same time, I also developed OCD. In my adolescence, I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. In my early adulthood, I lived in several different houses, never feeling comfortable in any of them, between relatives' houses, my grandmother's, my mother's... In 2014, I developed some degree of PSSD, which greatly compromised my sexuality and how I feel everything, including emotions... the anhedonia also worsened significantly. I feel that this second condition basically destroyed me and is the main reason I want to die. Feeling sexual pleasure was my only escape valve for depression, and psychiatry stole that from me. In mid-2015, I started having constant suicidal thoughts, but I never attempted suicide... I always thought it would get better at some point, and although some things did improve, my emotions and everything else about my sexuality never returned to normal, and for most of that time I couldn't seek help, and when I did, it was with doctors who didn't understand this condition or thought it was psychological. In 2018 I almost attempted suicide, but I was hospitalized for two days and after that, medication and therapy lessened my suicidal thoughts, at least temporarily... Last August I got tired of living like this, without feeling any pleasure and having my entire youth destroyed, I gave life an ultimatum: "either my health and life improve or I kill myself." I've already bought sodium nitrite and I hope I can use it this year. I'm tired, I no longer have the strength, intention, or reasons to keep living.

I'm (43m) also a lifelong sufferer of depression. It also started with bullying when i was around 12 or 14 (I was the tall thin kid with glasses) my memory is a bit hazy when exactly since i tried to repress most of those memories when i tried multiple times to live a normal life. Now i am only still here because i can't die before my parents. They are good parents, especially my mom. Both are ~80 and are not very healthy so my time might be coming soon.

I never really attempted suicide before but stood next to the train tracks on my way home from school pretty much daily. The idea of just laying my neck on the tracks when i see a train quickly approaching so it slices my head off sounds so nice and quick back then. Not sure which way i choose nowadays when the time finally comes to go.

I feel like everything i do is just to kill time until my parents die. I never really lived. Never had a real friend let alone a girlfriend. I went to a bunch of psychologists when i was younger but that never did anything to really help me.

Not sure why i write this. I guess it's to for some reason tell you you are not alone in this nightmare.

Anhedonia is the absolute worst. I'm also suffering from this (since 2015) and it feels like I'm just a shell of a person. I used to be so joyous and vibrant and I feel lil that person is already dead, so in the end I'm not really killing anyone. I'm just ending the unbearable grief and daily suffering of living with this illness. I'm so sorry you're suffering with it too. Fortunately I do not have loss of sexual function; I can relate to what you said about sexual pleasure being the escape valve. I have used it as that over the years but now the anhedonia and fatigue are just too much for anything to make life worth living.

I can relate to this. My parents, family, and friends are wonderful, loving people and I feel such pain that my death would cause them so much grief. That's the main thing keeping me here. My parents are in their 60s though and even when they're gone my siblings will be around… I can't keep going any more unfortunately, so I don't think I can wait.

I have an older brother but he just wants to inherit all the things because he isn't very lucky jobwise either and i think he hates me. So only my parents are keeping me alive right now. How is your relationship with your siblings?

Ah okay, well that makes it simpler for you then. I am very close to my 3 siblings. I just wish I didn't have this unbearable illness that makes life a living hell. I would so love to be able to enjoy life and live it but it's just not possible with my anhedonic brain.

Bullying is tough.

It's made to sound like innocent fun but its destroying someone right at the time when they should be building confidence so they are basically fucked for life.

Sorry this happened to you.
