Suicide is almost always performed in an altered state of mind due to SI. A lot of people do it without much thinking, and often for reasons that i would laugh at because of how horrific my 'life' has become. Excuse me, but I have lost my heart and all my empathy after suffering so much and talking with so many people that I became a monster. It is little worse than the worst nightmare you can ever imagine. At one time I had a lot of money and opportunities, and gradually spiraled and lost it all. Everybody told me they can't help me after taking money from me, or i ran from difficult problems. In the end from someone with depression and garbage family i lost physical health, became a hardcore junkie, got into gigantic debt that i would never pay in my whole life, my whole life collapsed, and i am at the last stretch after something puts the final nail in my coffin. And for years i endured all of this instead of CTB. I have always been a pathetic coward that ran away from everything, thus I ran away from my doom for as long as possible as well, even though I had nothing left for years and no hope, nothing except pain.

I would like to point out the difference between feeling hopeless and being hopeless. A lot of people here seem to feel hopeless rather than be hopeless. What i mean by that, they have real problems but these problems aren't directly threatening to fall on their head and crush it. I have somewhat of 5 to 10 different critical issues which all have clocks on them, meaning if i don't resolve them in time each one is going to kill me or leave me incapacitated and end my life forever. And I can't solve any of them since I was broke for years and to do a single thing in this world you need money.

I don't know how it was for other people who were suicidal for years or decades, but for me it was first a thought, a convenient fantasy, that if things go wrong I will just CTB. If that was true I would have been gone from here many years ago. If you let life to continue trampling you suicide will become a choice, meaning you can choose to suffer or CTB. And finally, after enough time, you will be in so much pain and with no way of changing the course of your life that CTB is the only one and last choice of autonomy you have before things will destroy you to the point there will be no you anymore. I endured too many nights thinking I'll die, suffering from unbearable physical pain, I am traumatized to the point that getting out of bed is difficult, and I am on a 30mg dose of the strongest anti anxiety medication available on the market. I think I have C-PTSD but no matter.

Well. usually nobody reads my stuff or there is nothing to be said because my situation is unsolvable and much of it is my fault. Trainspotting. I Clock watching. I want it all to be a bad dream because the game is lost and i have no cards left to play. I want to give up, feel nothing and just do it, just like people that do it every day over 1/100 problems that I have.

Huge junkie here as well. Fent ruined my life and I can't deal with being sick every day to the point of constantly thinking about death. I have been suicidal my whole life and always just wanted to sleep. Now I just have a whole new reason to suffer. And the only person I've ever loved used to fix me up, nobody cares in my life even though every friend I've ever had, person I've ever loved I have tried to help desperately because I used to house so much empathy that it ate me alive. I still struggle with that, seemingly the opposite of your problem in a way. We can message or txt. Don't know how much help that will do either of us but it's good to have a friend who might understand. Little temporary fix if you will , we love those

You make a lot of sense differentiating feeling hopeless and being hopeless, backed into a corner with the anvil of consequence dangling overhead and the sands of the hourglass measuring the time until it drops.

I reserve comment when I see someone express first world problem angst because our etiquette says to not minimize or invalidate other's experience but damn sometimes I shake my head and wonder where the line is between validating and coddling.

your words about how suicide starts as an fantasy and later becomes this almost self fulfilling prophecy ring true, atleast in my ears as someone struggling with suicidal tendencies for about 20 years.

It always starts off so simple at first too. I still remember shouting something like "this sucks im gonna kill myself" with an impulsive storm of emotions as an school kid - not even knowing how to even kill myself to begin with, the only thought going through my not yet quite developed mind being that i just wont be able to play games anymore before the thoughts about not being able to snuggle my favorite plush just made me cry out loud.

but if the surrounding circumstances that even lead to these thoughts keep pushing you towards this idea, they dont vanish from the back or even the front of your mind.
With time this once mere fleeting thought forms into an dedicated plan ready to spring into action.

it begins to occupy your mind, slowly creeps into your every day life - like how people being in love will catch themselves thinking about wanting to kiss their loved ones, youll start catching yourself thinking about it during normal everyday things and from here on out itll slowly complete its takeover.
