Mine was alcohol, but I have none right now.

The knowledge that one day all of this will be over and I will be dead.

And alcohol, of course.

I've actually got this poster on my wall. I don't know why but it helps the days go by.

Hypomanic induced narcisim.

And alcohol, of course.

Alcohol, smoking, punching myself, pulling my hair and cutting.

Also trying to talk to friends to distract myself from shitty thoughts but that often doesn't end up going well.

It's been a couple weeks I haven't had a single drop of alcohol. I really want some right now, just to get fucking wasted.

Knowing that if something doesn't matter/seems pointless then it is probably pointless to be worried about it being pointless.

I'll just live my life, if something is outside of my control or my ability then I have no need to worry myself with it.

An interesting thing to ask when you do feel that way is "Why am I feeling like this? What is the root of such feeling?" Sometimes reasoning through such feelings can help you find solutions to get over them.

You forgot to mention the alcohol.

>relying on alcohol to temporarily escape obstacles instead of facing them and dealing with them.

These substances, be it alcohol or whatever else, only offer temporary escape and will probably fuck you up worse in the long run if you continue to use them as such.

And for some weird reason, I think that's fine with me. Maybe misery is the thing I crave without realising it. Maybe it is suffering that gives life purpose.

The problem is that I can get annoyed of a video game pretty fast if it is too fast, or too slow, or if it need too much concentration, or too little concentration, and such.

Currently I don't have any. I just wish my suicide wouldn't have the impact on others that is has.

I don't see much point in living. Maybe I am just depressed, but even if I wasn't, I still don't see how I would be worse off dead. Sense I don't believe in Hell.

I have tried to learn a bit of philosophy, but it seems all the philosophers with life affirming thoughts all ready have a strong desire to live, and build everything on that.

A failed suicide creates so much stigma it's hard for life to be the same after. Only makes you more eager to die (in my case).
