If my life is meaningless, can my death have meaning?
11 years ago
Sometimes I find myself contemplating death... but not for the reson you might think.
Somehow, I find myself wondering if I could mark people by killing myself.... I mean, if my death affects people, that would have meaned that my life mattered.
Sometimes I wanna kill myself just to make an impact, to shock people out of their complecency... If I can shock people wnough, then I will be remembered, then I will finaly exist. Sometimes, I feel so much pain... I just wanna make everyone feel my pain, make them hurt, make them suffer... so that maybe my life would have meant something.
If I kill myself, wouldn't I finaly become relevant to the people? Wouldn't I finaly be aknoledged?
I don't even know anymore... I'm just searching for a meaning to my life, maybe dying is this meaning?

I just don't know, I keep fighting, but I'm tired, I don't know how long I can still hold up and the idea of suicide seem more enticing with each passing days.
Watch "Hugo" it might help you. It helped me understand how to make a mark on the world.
You don't want people to remember you because you decided to kill yourself, make people remember you for what you do, good things and such... Make it where they go "Oh there's Kernac, he's a pretty cool guy from what I know of him." or such.
Death is never the best way to deal with things, I figured that out yeeeears ago and no matter how shitty my life gets, how lonely.. I NEVER think about "that" option.
I tried to kill myself in April of 2013. Yes, that is just over a year ago, good job.
I've suffered with bipolar disorder for the greater part of my life, and it's compounded by anxiety, panic attacks, and severe ADD that makes me just misplace my own brain a bunch. Think I'm one of those self-diagnosed WebMD hacksaws? Not a chance. I have four separate diagnosed mental disorders, and they all suck. They suck so much I made out with a shotgun. But that was too scary for me, so I ended up grabbing a paper knife and carving my arm open. Perfectly straight line, deeper with every stroke.
The ambulance grabbed me, took me in. I spent a week in a hellhole of a hospital where I was mistreated by a totally unlicensed counselor, a crew of orderlies that were incorrigible gossips I knew from my past, and a doctor shoving tranquilizers down my throat that made me so ill, dizzy, nauseous that I couldn't walk. Threw up in the sink to fucking prove it. They took me off the ativan. Good for them, good for me.
I got out of that hospital filled with hatred for the medical crew there, for myself, for my weakness. I never, NEVER tried to fade out because of attention or because I was ignored. I tried to fade out because I was in constant pain, emotional and physical. I can't work a normal job because offices and deadlines terrify me. I can't sleep properly at night because I feel like I'm losing hours from my life. I can't relax because my entire nervous system hates every inch of me. I felt everything all the time and I hated it. I convinced myself nobody would miss me, nobody would care. But I NEVER told anyone that. Wanna know why? Because it wouldn't matter. If nobody cared, who'd wanna hear that shit?
But you. You lash out constantly, always SAYING nobody cares, that you make no impact, that you don't matter. If you really believed that you'd not see a point in saying it. You want attention, and that is NOT A BAD THING. Human beings need attention, we need love and care and feeling. But goddammit, this is NOT how you get that. Why not try being personable, talking to people as equals instead of stepping stones you tread on to reach this golden obsession with affection you have? I know what you want. I know what you need. I know you are going after it entirely wrongly.
TL;DR: If you want to make a difference, if you want to be loved, then get involved with people. Share some interests, make pleasant conversation. Work on being loved. It's not an instant thing, and you CANNOT get it by crying out "Save me with attention before I die!" so very often. You don't need to die, you don't WANT to die. You want love. So go get it.
Its hard to explain, but I did make new friends, and they do seem to give me a lot of love, and when they do it does make me feel good... but only for so long. They can't be around 24/7, and when they aren't there I immediatly begin to feel really bad, worthless and feeling like no one loves me, even tho people gave my love not that long ago.
I still have a month to wait til my next appointment with my psychiatrist, and there is no way to speed things up. I do get love, but its like its not enongh for my brain, I would need to be loved all the time, but thats just not possible.
I don't know what I want, it feels like I want love, but I still feel empty inside even when I get love. I don't know what I want or what I need.
Besides, you just admitted to not getting enough love, or attention, or what have you. That need alone is not exactly a grand thing to have.
Don't make excuses for yourself. Stop emotionally blackmailing anyone who'll read this stuff and start just treating yourself with some respect. The psychiatrist, I'm sure, will help. Even so, THINK about what this does, think about how often you say it and why you do. You wanna make an impression, you wanna be remembered––you want ATTENTION, always more attention. If you commit suicide you will get one small burst of attention and then be forgotten, not to mention the fact that it'll all be negative.
Think about the limitations of mortality. Really, do you believe you can help yourself after you're gone? Do you honestly think that'll make anything better at all? SPOILER: It won't.
Also, I know this isn't fair from me, but the thing is I'm in too much pain to really care about fairness... Do you think I only want attention? It feels like this is what I want, however this is not my natural state, when I am not depressed I do fine without any attention and have gone months without giving or getting any attentions.
I am aware that I have been posting these kinds of journals for a long time, however when I get depressed it is pretty rare for me to post a journal, maybe 1 out of 10 times I do, so it doesn't feel like I do it often from my point of view, but the thing is, I do get depressed very often.
I'd rather not have said that so bluntly, but there it is. No wuss, no man-up, just a big fat "stop this specific action."
"Leave all fear when you enter in the dark path curve," not to weigh not to be known by others, no one will care about his death.
I had the same idea you a rough idea, loose, loose.
Wake up, God has more to give than the devil to remove. Do not be fooled by the disappointments that come in your way, wake up to life.
Stop being a wimp and ass more human, indolent unless you believe that in death, all things improve. Remember you have friends here, of what you need, we'll be here forever. Please leave this insane idea aside because I have already insane.
I'm not trying to act rude towards you, but it's the truth. Ending your life so suddenly will not get you remembered; maybe by your friends and family, yes, but anyone else, highly doubtful. I really have seen stuff like this before on other sites, and it just upsets me so much when people want to purposefully end their lives just because they are upset. Remember, if a problem ever arises, it CAN be solved. All it takes is just a little help from your family and your pals, and before you know it, you won't want to commit suicide. I'm begging you, Kernac, PLEASE don't kill yourself because you are unhappy/depressed. It will not solve anything.
