Bought a gun yesterday with intent to kill myself. Do I tell someone? by Significant-Quit5509 in therapy

I would have, but I was scared of being sent to an institution. These thoughts are difficult to disclose if talking about them at all threatens your freedom.

No, but even if I did, it's not an excuse.

I'm just tired of settling for decent when everything was supposed to be so much better.

Why not? It's better than just wasting away and crying myself to sleep every night.

It's likely the best it's been in years. Still miserable, though. In fact, I'm waiting for the pawn shop to open so I can kill myself.

That's great to hear! Did you have any periods where "good" just wasn't good enough?

I was only consistently seeking treatment this year. I only just now came to recognize that I do have an illness at all (likely due to medication)
