Isolated and suicidal

I have no friends at all anymore, i spend 97% of my time without seeing another human face. Perhaps dignitas could help me. There has to be a point where i call it a day.

Since my daughter died my social skills have evapourated entirely. I am retreating further and further into myself. 

The future is bleak. I have no other children. No one seems to understand me. I am becoming agrophobic. I am a shadow of the person i used to be.

I am quite scared of the act of killing myself but if it where a button i could press that just turned out the lights, i would press it.

My isolation is near 100% complete. My mother and father (separated) support me but they cannot give me what i feel i need.  If people could get by with the social interactions of their parents alone i could probably manage.  I enjoy there company but after an hour or two i just feel i want to retreat to my home, lock the door and close the curtains.

This battle with depression has raged all my life and now with the magnitude of set backs ive experienced over the last couple of years, i feel the peak of my life has passed.

I honestly feel that the end for me is coming. Any attempt on my own life will not be a cry for help. It will be a very deliberate attempt.  This is more than just depression. I do not see the logic in suffering for another 20-30 years.  What purpose would it serve.  The only people that would miss me are my parents.

I just wish i had a way of ending the suffering without suffering. Hence the dignitas reference.  

I do want to die

    I’m really sorry that you have no friends anymore, there’s been times in my life where I’ve felt like that too and it’s a pretty miserable feeling! I’m so sorry also that your daughter died, I can only imagine the pain and torment that you must be going through! Do you mind me asking what happened? How long ago did it happen?

Children
  • Im.not interested in helplines or nhs support. They all spout the same hot air and its of no use to me.

    My daughter died two years ago.  They say traumatic events can make autism worse and thats a belief i now share.  (She just didnt wake up for any obvious reason one morning at 19 years old).

    I had my diagnosis after my daughters death.  The reaction in my social circles was poor as was the reaction in my work environment.

    I feel like my personality has fundamentally changed.  Every social interaction is a struggle.and this is really bad as i need to build new social structures to replace the ones i have lost.

    I have no idea what i want for the future of the direction  i want it to go in. Or more accurately i dont want anything that i can have or achieve.

    I also dont want to live a substandard lonely life. I dont want to be the subject of pity. I just want my story to end. My life has failed and i can accept that. I just dont see the point  in dragging it out as my life won't benefit anyone else and it certainly doesn't benefit me
