This is the classic "suicide general", where we discuss methods and say farewell to our fellow wizards, quite different from that other thread in the catalog.

I'm currently 26, almost 27 (rings a bell?). And I can't take it anymore. I will soon depart from life through hanging. I haven't done it yet because I live in a shithole and there are always people around making noise and being nosy. I will just wait till it's very quiet so I can go to the woods and end this miserable existence.

I don't care if it might "get better". Existence itself is a curse and we're all gonna die anyway. I've read enough pessimist books and life affirming books and I side with the former. I don't need your compansion, because the thought that I will soon disappear is the only thing that makes me happy. I'm not even sad because of this.

Why is everyone talking only about hanging, heights, guns and drugs? Is this all there is? Hanging is the only viable method when you have little money.

I'm more interested in some learning resources. I can't believe nobody explored the topic of poisons, I'm very much interested in the results. Poison sounds like overall the smartest choice.

Question about doorknob hanging, what's stopping me from grabbing the rope or grabbing the doorknob and trying to free myself? Likewise if regular hanging what's stopping you from just grabbing onto the rope?

2 attempted ODs now and both times I bottled it and got hospitalised. Thank fuck my country's health care is dog shit so I wasn't sectioned and can try again when I nut up. I fear I never will and the suffering will continue indefinitely.

Nothing. I dunno how a regular hanging would work, even if you grabbed it for a while, would you eventually tire and have to give up?
Anyway, that's how I failed the doorknob, I guess. I don't really remember what happened. I think I panicked as my consciousness faded and got out somehow. Maybe I jerked out or threw my hands up or something. I suppose the people who can do it are the ones really committed, who can go long enough to get to the point where it's too late to try and help yourself. Maybe I wasn't drunk enough.

That was a long time ago and good and bad things have happened to me since then. I don't think I would've missed out on much if I'd been successful, but I'm no longer in a place where I'm suffering enough to try again, even if I still think about it.

I'm going broke, and I really don't know how to deal with this fact. I went to 4 doctors to treat it, but none of them worked, and no matter how many medications I took, I was never able to overcome this problem. But these only caused me terrible side effects, such as fatigue, weight gain, apathy, a lot of disinterest in everything, and alopecia, but they were never able to attack the impulses. Violence never stops.
Sometimes I blame my family for raising me in such a violent environment, but then I think it's better to bury the past and look forward. But sometimes it is difficult, since it is not about the violence of 10 or 15 years ago, it is about things sometimes from less than a week ago.

I feel like an alcoholic, where instead of keeping a place free of that poison, it is offered to me in all shapes, sizes, colors and flavors.

The main problem is losing the halo effect.

I was probably about a 5/10 or 6/10 before so people generally were indifferent to me. As a balding man I'm easily 3/10 which is low enough to be a target. Better to get a wig and move to a new city so I can go back to being left alone

Though my hairline is getting worse, it's not over yet; but I feel like any haircut I have is just an attempt to de-emphasize it and delay the inevitable. I had to look inside myself to figure out why it was bothering me so much. I realised I had been lying to myself a little, and I had to stop dragging this out. Free myself. The hair had to go.
As wizards we are actually blessed to not concern ourselves with thoughts of what succubi might think about our appearance, so I'm not sure why anyone here should care about being bald or shaving their head. It was liberating when I finally bit the bullet at 30. I enjoyed the shocked expressions of my colleagues and the joking comparisons to Derek Vinyard. Now I have my sister shave my head every week and it saves me all that money and hassle involved with going to a barber.

I think a lot of people are telling on themselves in this thread with their view on balding. Perhaps my views are a little influenced by my country, where I've never heard talk of 'minoxidil' and 'finasteride'–only ever on the internet–so it honestly appears very vain and a half-step away from flying to Turkey for a hair transplant.

Embrace it, friend. Stop caring about what /they/ think.

Oh, I also like what someone else said about how this is probably going to be the kindest form of aging to you lol, so I think it's best to deal with this head-on as there's going to be a lot more coming down the line that a pill can't save you from…

most of us are so fucking unattractive, retarded, uneducated, unlovable, lazy/unambitious etc… that there is no point in continuing this misery.

even when some try to gaslight themselves that their loser-lifestyle can be comfy, we all deep down know that this isnt supposed to be *life*.

objectively, we're the bottom of the barrel, rock bottom essentially; we can only cope by escaping reality and isolating ourselves and anytime we encounter the real fucking world, we're deemed as fucking subhumans by others AND ourselves.

we're rotting, just wasting space, energy and oxygen while the only thing left for us is waiting to die, respectively.

i dont get how we all havent already committed suicide by now cuz our fucking trash genetics have been haunting us for our entire existence, yet we collectively and voluntarily decided to continue living. why the fuck are we so stupid???

Does anyone here struggle with alcohol, or have managed to quit?

It used to be a good coping mechanism for me, but it seems the older I've gotten the worse it feels, and it's become detrimental to my health and the way I behave around people. Easily annoyed, constantly starting shit, tired all the time, strange pains. And I was still getting worse, fast.

This has been a wake-up call and I'm realizing I need to quit before it's too late. Though that's easy for me to say now when I'm still feeling bad, and I fear the cravings will come back strong, but I know I've got to try.

Curious to hear others experience with this.

My rooster that I've had for ten years, who I consider my best friend and love more than anyone else, died Wednesday night. He was my only friend. He lived in the house with me and was the only thing that would make me feel better when the rest of my life would weigh down on me. I would go hold him and the rest of life would disappear and that would be all that would matter. I keep forgetting now for a few moments, that I can't go see him and hold him anymore.

I have had depression for my whole life adolescence onward, and I was afraid even 5-6 years ago of this day and thought it would be unsurvivable, and now it's here, and I do want to die. I dont want to live in a world where he isn't here with me. The initial shock has worn off and it's sinking in that my best friend is gone, and I'm not going to see him again. My mother is the only other positive presence in my life, because she knew how much I love him. She has stage 4 cancer and it's still unclear if she's going to survive it or not. She's essentially the only reason why I have not shot myself already. She was never abusive or cruel to me, so I couldn't do that to her even though I don't want to live anymore.

Did you ever have an animal that meant this much to you? People are cruel and petty and small. If an animal loves you it's genuine, they dont have ulterior motives or social performance.

How do you guys manage to stay out of bed as shut-in NEETs? I have been a NEET for almost a decade and only now have I realized I'm addicted to laying on my bed all day. I think all started 10 or so years ago when I was still in school, I started to prefer laying on my bed than staying on the computer or doing anything else on my free time. Then I dropped out and became a NEET. Obviously as a shut-in there's not much to do so I normally stay on my bed all day. I have a good computer, but can't stand using it for long. My back and legs start aching and I just find my bed so damn comfortable. I have lots of blankets, cuishons and plushies to make myself even extra comfy. This is bothering me because I can't work on personal projects or use the static bike I bought because I spend my days on my bed doing nothing. Even lurking the internet is way better for me on the bed using my tablet because I can zoom in if I have to and I can watch anime on it. I started joining IRC channels from my computer in hopes to keep myself out of bed since IRC works better from a desktop.
This seems to be a real mental condition called clinophilia. There's barely any info on it besides https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinophilia and most people online treat it like a joke "haha yeah I love staying in bed!" normalfag type of comments. But this is a serious illness as it makes me unable to stay healthy and active even as a NEET.

That happens to me when I nap for longer than I need to. I get this weird-ass tingly feeling and feel like my soul is getting sucked out of my head.

Whitepillers don't have a retort for autism. You can get a good degree, pursue your hobbies and work on your self esteem but if you have autism you will never make it in this anti-autistic world, Life is all about one thing. Being born without autism. If you're born without autism the normies will make excuses for you, help you out, share money with you, give you 100 chances, etc. Meanwhile if you have autism you're evil and creepy just for existing and blinking the wrong way. Everybody gets to live for free except autists and only autists who are given this fake ass "you gotta pull yourself up by your bootstraps and make your life" "you gotta amount to something" "innovation" story. Shit that literally no one else has to follow.

A part of me knew that all along, even at 13 I expected that I'd end up as a hikikomori, and I was correct.
I tried self improvement, I tried "making it" I tried everything, but I got a chronic illness somewhere along the way from the stress, and my entire life crashed and burned as a result.
And sure, I take medication that makes life manageable, but if my best effort WHEN HEALTHY is not enough then what is? Needless to say, I'm just trying to live out my days in limbo, hopefully there's not too many left.

Starting a new anti-suicide general as the original has been bump-locked.

Helping wizards to understand that persuasive feelings of suicide can be bested.

Further the discursive spirit of this thread will remain the same as the first: to counter the general luring tenor of sadness that defines all the other threads through sharing positive practical advice purposed to reducing suicidal behavior even when we feel most suicidal. Naturally, being that I started the topic, I will be the first to contribute.

(1) Know that I care about you guys deeply and sincerely. Call me a faggot, I don't care (many have already done this, to no worthwhile avail)
(2) Examine what you are eating. For example, gluten especially produces depressive/psychotic episodes in sensitive autistic individuals. Sugar also is not healthy for your brain. Delimiting ingestion of both is wise.
(3) Make sure you are getting sufficient sleep. Chronic sleeplessness or even a few days' worth of irregular sleep can seriously interfere with the clarity of our thinking.
(4) Clean up. Taking a warm shower and putting on fresh clean clothes always is refreshing and helps to break up darkened mental habits.
(5) Breathe fresh air. Open whichever windows punctuate your room and allow some wind to come in.
(6) Watch your breathing. When we are panicked, our breathing can become very disordered and we do not recognize the effect this has on our thinking. Take deep, purposeful breaths, and collect your thoughts.
(7) Respect yourself. You have done your best to survive in an awful world, and you should grant yourself forgiveness for any mistakes and the allowance to rest with a composed and balanced mind.

I've done my part. Anyone else?

I've been suicidal for years. I always wondered why the demiurge made it so difficult to just quit this life. Why didn't he just include a button on the human body that could be pressed by a suffering soul to simply and painlessly escape. Probably because he's a sadistic piece of complete shit.

I don't know what to do. I'm around 21 and I go to uni. I've been struggling with porn use and procrastination in general. I'm also not doing too good in uni. One thing is that I just don't have any friends at all for the past 2-3 years. I feel so sad, I just feel like I'm in a deep dark pit I can't get of. The porn use is the worst, I just can't seem to get over it. There was a period around 3 years ago where I was able to give it up for around 3 months but since then it's almost always stuck with me. It's not mastrubation that's the problem, but rather the porn usage, once I start watching it in the day I just can't stop. I don't know what to do at all. I think I would feel much less sadder if I was able to masturbate alone quickly rather than watching porn for hours. On every internet platform I use I'm always a lurker, I've never told people about my problems and I don't know what to do. I feel as if I'm losing myself to all this and I just don't know what to do. There's also the problem of money, I'm not rich, and due to money problems I have to bare some problems that would be solved if I had money. This is also a reason for the depression, and I'm not in a country where it's easy to earn money that is worth it in terms of the time that you spend earning it and that is in the scenario that you're able to find work in the first place which is already a tough scenario. I don't know why I'm typing all this here, maybe it's because this place has people similar to me. Rather than talking to me about how to solve my problems, it would be better if I was able to talk to just someone in general or someone who was able to get to a better place, I already know how to try to solve my problems, but I just can't bring myself to take these steps. I'm pretty sure I'm addicted to the internet, it's all just a host of things that have been festering inside my head for years, like a bad fridge you don't clean out. I don't exercise either because it is a bit inconvenient for me. I also have a very minor medical problem, but I'm pretty sure it would be solved or at least slightly allievated if I just had some money, that too just kind of depresses me. I don't know how to make progress, I don't know what to do.

You sound like me 5-6 years ago when I started uni during the first wave of lockdowns. Was awesome at first, not leaving the house and playing games all day but soon I started exclusively living on the computer. Porn usage went up, just grinding games mindlessly without enjoyment etc. I still deal with porn addiction and procrastination and still haven't finished my degree yet. Similar to you I am somewhat socially isolated and have nobody to talk to about this in real life on a level that goes deeper than self deprecating jokes about "I hate my life I am useless lmao". You say you know what steps you need to take to solve your problems but be careful that you are actually treating the cause, not just the symptom. Porn addiction, like all addictions are often just a coping strategy for unmet emotional needs. Until you figure out what those are (what material do you usually jerk off to, what kinds of feelings are you trying to avoid when you boot up porn etc) you will be powerless to stop the addiction. I had to realize that my porn usage is as compulsive because I trained myself at a young age that my sexuality was a bad thing and that succubi don't want anything to do with it. So porn became the only outlet. Then as I got older and more isolated, other things got added like feeling loved, having someone else take control (especially when IRL you always feel like you're struggling just to survive) and so on. So now I can at least name the things that trigger the addiction and I can try to deal with those. Progress is slow and life goes on. If you are not a normal with a social circle, regular things will be much harder for you. Try to finish your degree if you think it's worth anything on the job market later, even if it takes you longer. I tried getting out of academia and into a job and always got rejected, likely because they just saw a failed student who was too old. So beware of that. Otherwise make up your mind and quit now if you can find an okay job that will bring you stability. But in my estimation, you need to do some deep emotional introspection before you start to act. Godspeed

All my life I believed that studying guaranteed a future, a job, comfort, and a certain circle of good people from a certain social class that was educated and maybe healthy and more good compared to the environment I was born into (I saw this with other people and i knew this vision was true)
I am in my first year of college studying to be a teacher, and the people I have met here are not exactly nice to me. I am not interested in being social, but I still feel like an outcast. I no longer have the motivation to study and the idea of getting a degree is… lost.
>but why anon?
I joined a group here out of a mixture of obligation and necessity, I've seen that the people in my group interact, talk, converse, and get together, and I can see perfectly how everything flows naturally for them, as if there were some kind of magnetic attraction between them. they even interact with each other to form romantic relationships, they share personal things and I feel that they empathize with each other.
>And anon? just ignore it a do your things
I feel so fucking out of place like a alien around humans. It's as if I were cursed and i know they know and are paranoid know it. The truth is that pretending to be sociable no longer works for me. It's as if they knew that I wasn't normal. I noticed them saying too much to me things like
>you're very serious and responsible (when I asked someone how they saw me)
>you're very quiet (when the others wouldn't stop talking, I just listened because I didn't have anything… to say)
>Why do you isolate yourself so much from others? (when I was honest and refused to have a picture of me taken, i dont like photos)
and I thought I could ignore it, but I can't And I swear that every damn time they ignore me or say something like this to me, it hurts.
I was doing well with my studies, but those last few weeks I had to interact more socially with my group, and I realized that I'm awful. I don't know if I don't have a personality, but that last thing they said about me isolating myself from other hurt me so much because I don't know how the hell to act. It's as if I had dehumanized myself, automatically becoming an outcast, a gypsy, or the Jew of the group. Maybe I messed up my teenage years and didn't have normie experiences like everyone elPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

What made you want to be a teacher in the first place? Did you have an internship yet? You do know that middle and high schoolers are 20000% worse than adult normalfags right? Unless you're confident and witty your next 50 years working as a teacher will be a hell of getting made fun of by zoomers every working hour and yelling to get them to shut up and listen because if those retards don't graduate, you get the axe, and suddenly all the pedagogy that you studied will mean nothing (because it really means nothing). Fucking quit dude, I'm serious.

Nah it sucks shit. I went straight to doing a master's after college to, ironically, teach college classes myself and while actually teaching the classes was fun, spending time with the absolute retarded dorks that are your fellow teachers, and especially grading tests and homework, really aren't worth it. The first year was fun but even in my second year, realising I would be using the same lesson plan for the rest of my career was enough to be suicide fuel. I quit after that and pivoted to a CS postgraduate degree in Austin. Now I work from home watching youtube videos for 5 hours or more a day making more than triple what I earned previously. Thinking about becoming a private tutor for fun though.

The only upside I can see is that in college, the students generally shut their asses up when you explain something to them.

I've seen studies where they have said that testosterone is at a historical low for many males, testosterone gives you resilience to emotional problems, makes you more competitive, more risk-taking Etc.
I've always been fat and always been highly stressed for most of my life so I'm pretty sure my testosterone has been in the toilet. When I was going through puberty I was extremely fucking horny like any other kid but that didn't really change my behavior or make me better with succubi. I was fucked up back then but I remember my feelings not taking all my attention.

Has anyone gotten testosterone replacement treatments or taken steroids how did it make you feel?

Great thread served warm straight from the gurgling bowels of nu social media news aggregates that promote hypochondria lifestyle! Don't forget to take a dozen supplements, try out a new fad diet each month and exert yourself until your heart skips beats regularly because other fellow wizzies who got brainwashed, such as >>303338, told you so.

If this works as an incentive for losing weight then good luck to you. I can tell you how it's on the other side of the fence. I feel exactly like you except I have always eaten less, I guess.

Go ahead and be a whiny retarded faggot who doesn't want his life to change. but dont complain when your problems dont solve themselves

Like I said high T isn't permanent. There are ups and downs naturally. If a lot has to be done then grit your teeth and get it done. Relaxation feels that much better when it's earned in effort and sweat. sometimes through scrapes and bruises. Even children know this

People often wish they had high T, or lie about it online, but it exists for a reason and compels you into action. If you think this is some normie platitude then rot. Just keep rotting because there is no other option for you
