For all my lonely people out there. This is a thread where you can give advice, opinions, experiences and help each other, listen to other anons and share your story.
Any advice is welcome, whether you're against suicide or not, doesn't matter.
Come and talk, this is the last place for those of us barely clinging onto life.

I almost killed myself 3 times today
Finger on the trigger close
Couldnt do it though
I cant leave my dog alone and I dont have the heart to kill him first
>>
>>34519816
Honestly, good for you, anon. At least wait until he passes.
>>
>>34519816
if I had a gun I would be done it a hundred times already. When I die I hope I get to see my dog again, he passed away last year. I have nothing to live.
>>
I'm 23 y/o to older anons reading this, does it get any better? really once you get as broken and lost as this is it really worth it to get out of bed? I don't like the way my life is headed, I don't think I'll ever be happy I want to end it all all I feel is agony
>>
>>34520345
I'm 32, and things have gotten better, but it took a while.

Yes, dumbass. Most of this shit is hormonal surging. Get a job on a farm or something where you have to use your testosterone all day so your mind can stop yapping at you while you sit around on the fucking internet complaining.

Also, all you bitches should read pic related. And stop coming on 4chan expecting sympathy.

there are plenty of other drastic ways to change your life besides suicide, and without abandoning your dog
that goes for everyone here
>>
>>34520366
I know you're right, having a real job and a goal does get rid of these thoughts I do feel like dropping it all and start from scratch, taking what I've left and moving somewhere else entirely
>>
>>34520345
change your life

this >>34520359
i've heard dozens of people tell me "i didn't think i'd make it to age 30, now my life is great!", and i've seen plenty of people with bright upbringings turn to drugs or become homeless or whatever
there's no rational reason not to keep re-rolling & changing your life, from what i can tell
>>34520366
this as well, it's good if you can find some fulfilling/dignified physical work, it will help your mental state a lot

join a fuckin fishing boat crew
or work on a cargo ship, that's supposed to be very peaceful when you're out at sea for months with a tiny crew

or pick something better for your personal situation, just change your life

Im a depressed fag (bi) and im going insane from tinnitus. Had a shit day today and been thinking about suicide again. Posted this earlier >>>/int/221391973
Fapped and im listening to music to try and cheer up but not feeling much better honestly
>>
>>34520385
it's not a bad idea
do it if you feel it's necessary
>>
>>34520396
it might be good/cathartic if you screamed

tinnitus gets worse from poor circulation, which can be caused from stressful episodes
you might want to spend more time outside the house if you can, you can look for nice places to walk on google maps, it helps me at least
sorry anon

>>34520385
There’s always construction work around you at the very least. Go to a site and ask for some work or ask where you can get some. You’ll be around real men all day. You’ll use your body at its peak. You’ll get stronger. You’ll be too tired at the end of the day to think about shit. You’ll make a good day’s wage, and you can have a fuck off delicious meal at the end of it because you can afford the calories. Do that for six months. Then if that doesn’t work, at least you tried, and so then you can an hero all you fucking like.

sounds like your home life might be the biggest issue, i wouldn't be able to deal with that..
mine has been similarly bad but on & off

how self-reliant are you?
also, do you have any other sort of support network? like reliable friends, other family, coworkers, etc
hopefully you have some, this can make it easier to deal with the stress

if you can claw some money togehter you might be able to fly to another country and get surgery faster

gotta do things etc

I could get a job and move out I guess, not sure that id be any less depressed though
I have literally nobody as said before, mega autist. Ive unsuccessfully been trying edating since november just to have someone to vent to pretty much. When the people im talking to ghost/block me I end up feeling super heartbroken because they're all I have.

yeah this sounds like a bad idea & a bad behavior loop
getting ghosted tends to happen less with irl friends (say through a job or whatever), because you have shared experiences together & bond/relate over those, whether you realize it or not
meeting people to talk to & socialize could be a good reason to get a job, not just being more independent

job isn't a huge commitment either, you can try a few & hopefully they don't all suck, if they do there's not much lost you can just quit
work is work but some jobs are needlessly hellish (because of people you work with or whatever else), while others are somewhat more comfy
it has less to do with the "tier" of the job (ex. janitor vs accountant vs engineer) than it does with random factors, like one particular fast food job could be hellish while another is really fun
use your judgment, and if a job seems needlessly hellish you don't have to put up with it

mega autism i wouldn't worry too much about, every zoomer is like that more or less now
shared experiences goes a long way in helping people bond, even if they're different or don't relate too much
it has more to do with good intentions from both parties, i reckon
>>
meeting people online can be good, it's not necessarily bad
but i think it's better to meet them through a shared interest like a game or a hobby or whatever, you're less likely to run into pathological and unpredictable people than you are with edating explicitly

if you get lucky & find a fun job with good people, you don't even need to move out necessarily
it can be fun just for its own sake & fun to have money, along with opening up weird opportunities and a place to spend time outside the house

to be honest i'm in a similar situation, i'm partly talking to myself here lol

I worked fast food for 3 years actually. Didn't love or hate it, didn't make any friends though. Im pretty introverted and normally don't care for friends or actively seek them out, its times like this when im feeling down that I want someone and I end up pathetically venting on /int/ or whatever. Most of the time if a friend tried to talk to me id be annoyed because id rather do solitary activities.
Feel free to elaborate on your situation, im interested

I'm 21 and after endless rejections I'm convinced I'm going live the whole of my life never experiencing what it feels like to be in love with someone

I don't care for wealth or fame, I'd sacrifice all material things for love because it's the only thing in this world that I actually want

8 billion people on Earth and not one gives a fuck about me
>>
>>34520486
Yeah

I'm 34 and honestly think I'm subhuman. Everyone else is a human being and I'm just some soulless retard. I feel defective compared to everyone else

How do you guys feel about trying to use medicine? My life is perfectly fine so I shouldn’t be depressed. I haven’t found talk therapy to be useful.

On an SSRI right now that is good and bad for me. While it’s been a great help for my overall anxiety and unhappiness, it’s also made me not care about anything, including work, my relationship, and being alive. I feel numb. The only thing that stopped me earlier is that I didn’t have a will set up yet. Or that’s my excuse at least. But I do really need to create one.
Going back to the doctor today.

I'd do unspoken things to be "lonely" for a bit have have some time to myself.
You don't know what you have until you've lost it
>>
>>34521167
I've always been afraid of them, I'm no junkie but have done acid, coke and weed before and never have gotten issues I do it just a couple times every few years. But SSRIs that's something I'd never consider trying I told so to my therapist as well.
A relative who's been taking meds at least for a decade told me how much they regret it, and I met a guy my age once who destroyed his life and warned me not to mess with them ever, he was in a very bad situation not depressed but he had nothing literally that really got into me
>>
>>34520345
Yeah, it doesn’t disappear fully but it gets much, much smaller
>>
>>34521746
I do think they’re over prescribed. I think everyone should try therapy before resorting to medication.
And I’ve heard good and bad things. For some they claimed it saved their lives while others claim it gave them permanent side effects that continue even after stopping. Kinda a gamble it seems. As far as I can tell, they’ve overall helped me but not in that significant of a way.
>>
>>34521823
and what does it feel like? do you not feel like a robot or some sort of zombie where your mind and thoughts are numbed all the time or do you feel slow? how do you feel?
>>
>>34521852
It's different for everyone.

I don't feel like a robot or a zombie, but I feel like nothing really matters, including my existence. And the grind of daily life is starting to become tiring and in my opinion, not worth it. In fact, I think you have to be a bit of a zombie to be happy like this. I know many will think I sound stupid, and I envy that, but it's how I truly feel right now.
>>
Guys I'm thinking on dropping acid should I do it when I don't feel that good yet?
>>
It's going to be time for me soon. Haven't seen my boyfriend in 2 weeks. I just found out his status on social media is single. I hate myself. I hate the life I live. I hate this place I'm stuck in. I can't cope anymore. I figure a good solid stab into my inner thigh should be enough for me to bleed out in the tub or maybe in bed. I haven't chosen which place yet. I have a decent knife but I'm going to have to take a lot of pain killers and a ton of alcohol so I'm not coherent enough to feel too much pain. He was the only thing keeping me here. Now that I know that even he doesn't love me, I truly have no one.
