bad thoughts
Talking to the suicide hotline isn't as effective after the first time
Pesticide poisoning is one of the most common ways in other parts of the world people kill themselves. Attempted and completing.
Only trouble is there's a laundry list of side effects. I'm not sure how to get a hold of some.
There's prescription pills, but I don't have any and I doubt you can OD on Advil.
I could start drinking. But then I survive that. And if I survive that, my life is ruined. If I survive, I don't want to fuck up any other chances I have if I change my mind.
Every moment I'm alive is agony. Every breath. Every movement. There's no escaping it. I'm drowning. I wish I were dead. I wish the pain would stop. I wish he could have killed me. Or hurt me. I wish I was locked in some psych ward dosed up on meds so high I lose any sense of who and where I am. I wish I'd done the job years ago to cut down on the damage on those around me.
I just want this to stop. I'd do anything. Nothing is enough. Why does this always happen to me? What have I done? Why can't things be good?
I don't understand.
Or maybe I do. Maybe I fucked up the one good thing there was in life and that was it. I got the one chance and now I'm condemned. This is punishment for that. For every wrong thing. For all of my sins. For everything my father has done. For everything I'll ever do.
I don't want to talk to anybody. I don't want to exist. I can't handle it. I can't do any of it.
I would give anything to stop existing right here and now.

I don't know what's wrong with me
God, I miss you.
It's been so long. It's been over a year since I saw you last. Since we said goodbye on your porch, since I told you I'd see you sooner than you thought and far longer than I thought.
I wonder to myself sometimes whether I miss the fantasy, but then I remember the connection. That thing I felt when I talked to my therapist about moving on - that undeniable tie that transcends things and I don't. Know. Why.
I try not to think about you and right when I get really good at it, right when you've vanished from my mind something happens and there you are again. I can't escape you. I am constantly haunted by this ghost of you. Every car I see might be yours, and yet, I don't want to look, I almost don't want to know.
I don't know why I can't seem to let go of you, to move on. It's you. It just... is and there's no rhyme or reason. I know I might find someone else that is better for me. It'll be that or the rare chance that we end up bumping into each other or something.
I just can't shake this weird bone-feeling that it's you despite it all.
What's wrong with me? Why can't I move on?
The other one has been a distraction, burning time. A terrible one. Revealing so many things I struggle with, tearing open my wounds but I've finally given them space to breathe. I've changed so much this past year that it's crazy. I feel like a different person in good ways, in mature ways but I've lost that magic, that sense of purpose and god, I'm desperately trying to find it.
I tried with LT. I tried giving something else a chance but for the life of me, I just don't want to date anymore. I don't want to date anyone. It doesn't have anything to do with you but, fine, it also has a tiny bit to do with you but I just... I don't want to. I just want to work on me. I want to spend time with myself. I don't want to have to worry about it.
Why does it still feel like you a year later? Why is it so hard to look elsewhere?
Is there a purpose to this? Are my promptings and feelings still strong and true or am I knee-deep in the denial phase of it all?
Please, somebody. I need answers. Some kind of lifeline.
Yet. I write this out and I still feel that sureness in my chest. I still feel like it's you, Brett.
What the hell is wrong with me?
