Hi, Tame. I’m sorry you feel desperate enough to be considering suicide. This forum is pro-life…we are so glad you are here talking, and we are happy to support you as you seek constructive and life-affirming solutions.
As for feeling suicidal and wanting to be brave enough to do it, and “what should I do?”, you have reached out here. That is a positive step towards NOT doing it.
Think of even small things that are positive and meaningful to you. Every situation can be made better — maybe not perfect, but better. The hard thing with feeling suicidal is that those feelings seem to stop us from finding the positive things. My suggestions are to feel your feelings but don’t act on them. If you are feeling like you will act on them, call the local emergency services (ambulance, police) or go to the ER yourself. Call a crisis line. Sometimes we just need to be heard and to have someone else encourage us to find those positive reasons to stay alive.
In the longer term, counselling can be helpful. Please give yourself a chance to find life-affirming solutions. A bad time is temporary. Suicide is permanent. Please stay safe. Please keep reaching out here. If you are in immediate danger, call the crisis line, EMTS, or get to the ER. Your life is the only one you get…it can be wonderful. You deserve to have it be wonderful!
