How many clinical therapy sessions have you had recently? You need to start working with someone who's job it is to listen to you and help with solutions.
I used to be in your spot, and I don't give a fuck what others think; the internet is not qualified to be your therapist, and I had to learn this the hard way.
Am Op. Lost credentials for the other account. Responding to old post but idk.
People say "see a therapist". I had. For nearly a year. And then I was seeing a psychiatrist too. It doesn't matter. If they're good at their job or not, it still doesn't matter. At the end of the day you leave their office the exact same person you were when you went in. It's all a huge waste of time. And money. Psychology is a scam. Medications are useless trash.
Some people are born broken, others are broken in their formative years. You can't fix it. You can be patched up, but "normal" people see that a mile away and avoid you. Similar broken people may hang around, but they do that only because other people have already rejected them.
Life's retarded if you're not configured to be blissfully unaware of literally everything. When you can't feel normal, or happy ever, what's the point?
Quit my job. Plan on doing some travels before kms. If miserable people go those that are left would be better off.
What's your suicide plan, if you don't mind me asking?
Carbon monoxide poisoning with sleeping pills to get to and stay asleep.
Over the counter melatonin is not sleeping pills; you are going to have a bad time.
Where do you plan to travel? Any specific interesting place?
Oh, the assumption of no pre-thought is amusing. I have a large supply of prescription only medications. I know it works, because it's been knocking me out for the past year.
You don't even need a sleeping aid. The monoxide will do that for you.
All places are interesting. Start off in china, vietnam, japan, singapore, wherever. This part is the one with no foundation. It doesn't have to. Go wherever I'm allowed to on my passport. Move on before I overstay.
Instead of killing yourself, I recommend leaving behind something to prevent future kids to have what happened to you; by contributing back to society as your legacy; by enlisting into the military.
It will get you killed if you select a dangerous assignment, you travel the world on Uncle Sam's dime, and the government will insure your death for half a million to anyone you put in your life insurance docs.
