I'm glad you came here to release and vent.
Always know we are here to listen, we understand, you will never be alone here.
❤️
 
So due to life being a complete failure I attempted suicide Friday.
7 insulin pens, 2400 units at once.
In hospital now.
Well...

Today is filled with endless different things you can do, like doing that other thing you thought would be cool, but were too anxious to try before. When you're released, of course.

My god man, please take care of yourself. Talk to people within your circle. I don't know what your situation is, but if you don't give up on yourself, I promise that you will one day look back on this as just a bad period of your life. A bad period doesn't mean your whole life is fucked up. You have so many years ahead of you, you don't know what tomorrow will bring.

Soon as you get out of the hospital, start reaching out to those close to you. That's the first step, and it'll start getting better from there.
 
Glad you're still with us. Don't do that again. Buy a lotto ticket when you're out of the hospital, you never know, after that failed attempt, maybe luck is on your side and you don't even know it.
 
I have no respect for anyone who dies by suicide, it's good you failed, I'm sure there's at least one person out there who would be absolutely devastated if you succeeded.
Get help man.
 
Glad you failed and get help now

You have no idea the pain you could have put someone through for the rest of their lives as someone out there would have been devasted and wondered the rest of the life why they didn't see it and help you

And yeah speaking from experience as I lost a life long friend this way and even his wife didn't see it coming
 
Trying to OD on insulin probably isn't the best choice if you really want to go. Hopefully you learn from this experience and strive to be a better person.
 
I'll say the same thing I said to my auntie, suicide doesn't make the pain go away, it amplifies it and gives it to other people. Talk to the people you love, make sure they know how you feel. Make yourself a goal that you can achieve, something simple like learning a recipe or even doing a jigsaw. Little goals, little steps.
 
I wish I was close to you to help you. Don't give up. Everything changes, nothing is dark forever. Get help, don't be afraid to look for it. I had some really dark moments too and fortunately I got help and it worked. It will work for you too. Dont. Give. Up.
 
I'm glad to hear you are recovering. Anything we can say is nothing compared speaking to a therapist. Getting professional help is probably the best thing you can do right now.

I tried killing myself two decades ago, and here I am a family man today. It can get better, and it will if you take those first steps.
 
Why? You could always vent out here first at least and see if people can help out.
And with your family too, if thats not the issue itself.
 
Dude, seriously, in the end we are all going to die. Don't make life shorter than it is. Life may suck or become unbearable, but there's always something you can do to get a tiny bit of happniness. Ending it is not the way.

Try to enjoy the little things, don't think of the big picture. Just focus on the things you like, no big purposes, expectations or social bullshit.

It's an uphill battle from here on out but you can do it. I also hit rock bottom once and sometimes I feel like utter shit (still) even though I've made some lifestyle changes of my own. To live is to suffer. We're in the same boat.

Get better mate.
 
Just like life can take an unexpected turn(s) towards the shitter, it also does stuff for amazingly life-changing things as well. Even if some of the worst situations there's a way to find happiness.
 
This won't solve anything. I have attempted suicide myself, in my teens and I also failed and I'm glad.

Just know that tough times don't last forever, suicide does. I got to live so many amazing things since then, and so will you. Just have a little patience and hang in there.

Sometimes the dark may feel overwhelming, but just know the dawn is right around the corner. Just take care of yourself and don't give up.

I believe we should allow medical euthanasia for people with terminal / incurable physical illness or if they're 70 years or older.

Otherwise I think suicide is awful. Killing yourself is never the solution.
 
Hey yo don't do that again

Whatever it is, it's a permanent end to temporary problems, all of the billions of years and asteroid collisions and DNA mutations and thousands upon thousands of ancestors it took for the world to pop you out, and you may as well see this bitch through to the end

The only time it's ok imo would be for medically assisted death for painful terminal conditions where there's nothing but pain and decline and death ahead of you anyway

I don't believe we should play god.

Anyways OP best of luck, courage I should say, to you. I was always a depressed guy. Alcoholic for most of my adult life. Then found sobriety and depression support groups on X. It was really anonymous and they helped me tremendously to fight my demons and depression. Have someone around you at all times for the upcoming weeks. I lost my best friend to suicide and 25 years later it still pains me.
