As my title says, I am no longer scared about suicide. My life force just seems to have leaked away until I just feel empty.
My 14 year old daughter was raped and now she has severe anxiety issues which are stopping her from living her life and she is acting out in very harmful ways.
The only reason I am still here is that I have another younger daughter and she doesn't deserve the family she has. She certainly doesn't deserve to lose her father.
I have tried to be strong, I have tried to understand, I have tried to be supportive, I have tried to be normal for those outside our family.... I don't have the will to try anymore. I just want to disappear, to have peace, to not be hear anymore....
I obviously have some degree of depression. I have tried to manage it by getting a buzz from various things, eating, playing computer games, watching TV, temporarily make the sadness go away. But the effect of these activities gets less each time I do them. Now, they aren't helping much at all and the sadness... no sadness isn't the right word. It is just emptiness.... a lack of will to live to an old age, a lack of desire or care to what happens to me.
I can't fix my daughter. She has lost her chance of having the life she could have had. Like most parents I think my daughter is fantastic. I don't think she is any better or more deserving than any other life, but she was special. She goes to a GPS school and was recently tested due to her behavioural problems and poor grades. She was top of her class in all areas but one. The school told us she was gifted and are working with us to get her back on track. Athletically she is also doing well, I take credit for this, from an early age we practiced sporting.
But now I don't care if I see her grow up.
I snap at my family, I have withdrawn from them. I hate how I speak to them and my short temper.
I have seen psychiatrists & psychologists that are working with my daughter. I have talked to them about how I feel. No disrespect to these people and their vocation, but their strategies are rudimentary and transparent. I don't want to sound conceited, but I am above average intelligence. (English was my weakest subject, I'll confess I just passed) My strengths are maths and physics and I work as a IT Manager. I know I need help, but I already know what the psychologists will tell me. I just don't care to help myself..... I should exercise more, get back into sport, start living a balanced life, see my friends again.... I just don't care....
I have my check list, Update Will, Update beneficiaries for super & insurance (I guess insurance won't get paid out if I suicide, I don't care....), etc
I am planning this, like a holiday. Not with excitement, just methodically. That should scare me, but I am not scared.
I cry when I think about my youngest daughter who doesn't deserve this. What my suicide will do to her. I care about her, but not me.
I feel like I have started down this path and it is just going to happen. It is not a driving force that is taking me there, it is the same feeling as going to mow the lawn. I need to do it,<Mod Edit: Timeline>. But I still need to get to it.
I tried life line. I was balling my eyes out about what my suicide will do to my daughters. So I thought I should get help. I got bored talking to them and hung up.
Why am I hear then. Well, there is part of me that know this is wrong and that if I just do the right things, help my daughter get better, I can still get back to a good life. So maybe someone can say something to me that will help me see that light at the end of the tunnel again. I have searched and all I can find is darkness.
I don't care.
I'll be around <Mod Edit: Timeline>, while I get prepared. I still need to work out what method of suicide I want to use. <Mod Edit: Methods> seems like the most reliable. But it is so dramatic and I just want to slip away, I don't want a final dramatic moment. I also don't want to stuff it up, so it has to work first time. Maybe <Mod Edit: Methods>, I found out where <Mod Edit: Methods>....
