I've Planned it Out

Given my circumstances, I know I could very well end my life one day. I have a mental illness that has wreaked havoc on my life. If I were to go through with it, I have an online post planned out. I already know what questions and comments will be asked, as it's the same stuff you hear when anyone takes their life.

"He never showed any sign of wanting to take his life."
"I wish he had just reached out to me."
"I wish he had just said something to someone."
"Why would he do this? It doesn't make sense."

I've done all that. I have hundreds of screenshots to prove it, which will be included. When my wife died, a whopping total of three people were there for me... and I hardly knew them. My "best friend" never reached out to me, as he claimed it was "too much" for him. You can't make this shit up. My entire life for about 20 years has been a cry for help, but they see what only affects them directly.

You're giving up. Your post is one of the saddest things I've read recently. I, too, am in somewhat a similar boat. My situation is physically in a short time, I will be in a wheelchair. I won't ever get better, only worse. I will lose function of all my limbs not to mention losing function of my bladder. My brain in shrinking, literally, every single day. I am a step away from dementia. I can see myself losing touch with reality day by day and it's horrific. To put it bluntly, I am going crazy. And I know it.
