I have nobody to relate to.
The truth is I don't want to die but I feel like I have no choice but to commit suicide
I'm really envious of other people who are well enough to work and follow their passions
I have nothing. I'm a failure in every sense of the word. I don't want to die - death is calling to me it's begging me to commit suicide successfully
How do people succeed with suicide I've tried two times already and ended up in the psych ward.
I'm afraid to try again because I don't want to go there…
OP, I understand very deeply how you feel. Your feelings are why I joined this forum!
It disgusts me that people who anoint themselves authorities (cops, shrinks, etc...) drive people to suicide with their punishments then act like they care about us and want to prevent it!
I have attempted suicide 4 times (5 if you count a man I convinced to kill me in prison but who chickened out halfway through). My second attempt was suicide by cop. I committed a contraband crime to provoke a SWAT raid but was forced to surrender. It got me 10 years in prison. I will be released soon and, after saying goodbye to my family, I fully intend to try again.
The reason I relate to you and understand how you feel is that I dealt with my depression myself years ago in prison. I no longer WANT to die. But now I have no choice. The only life legally available to me now is multiple times worse than the one that drove me to depression to begin with. To be honest I'm not sad about it. It is what it is.
But I wonder if I may help you with feeling like a failure? What I finally realized that cured my depression was that nothing in this world means anything. If you feel like a failure, it's because you're measuring your personal worth and achievement by the standards of others. To be blunt, those people - society - are nothing but sick meat bags whose existence has no meaning or value. Just like you and me. We're all the same!
So ask yourself, 'why should I care how a worthless meat bag defines success?' Far from being depressing, this nihilism is liberating! When you truly comprehend the meaninglessness of everything, you are free to create your own meaning. Do what makes YOU happy and fulfilled, not what others say you should. In that I believe you'll find your success!
Also, sorry for the length of that!
