Should I just kill myself and be done with it once and for all?

I will try to be brief. This is a confessional post so go easy on me.

In August, 2017, I had flu that lasted for several days. I wasn't going to work and my friends came over one day as I didn't want to go outside with them for obvious reasons. We ordered pizza, played video games, watched a movie and just shooted sh*t. After some time, we got bored. Out of boredom, as silly as we were, one of my friends suggested we look for our old classmates on Facebook to see how they were doing in their lives and what they looked like. The same friend also had an old obsolete account with his pictures, posts dating back to 2008 and all, created back in the same year which was pretty convenient at the time. We blocked people he knew and removed his posts and comments that could give away his identity. We came across someone I used to greatly admire and idolize. We sent her a message but she didn't respond as it most likely went straight to her filtered inbox. We gave up after messaging a few of them and not getting any responses. It quickly became boring and after an hour or so, they all left as it was getting late.

Fast forward to late March, 2018, she replied to that message we sent her more than 6 months ago. I didn't check that account but it was saved on my laptop. When you're using two different accounts on Facebook, you usually get notifications from the other account as well so I checked it out of curiosity and found her response. I was excited and quickly changed the password of that account and privacy settings. Of course, my friend didn't care, it wasn't his current account after all.

With time, we started conversing more and more. We talked besides chat too but I didn't tell her who I was out of the fear of losing her. We shared our secrets, fears, joys and had some deep level conversations. It was amazing that we had so much in common (some things I told her about me were true and some weren't) and we connected on a level beyond the superficiality. I began developing feelings for her and just told her because I thought I had nothing to lose and the worst that could happen is her rejecting me. To my surprise, she reciprocated.

This went on for months before she started demanding me to meet her and transition to the next level (that was to be with each other IRL). I made excuses (long distance/other shortcomings) until I couldn't take it and just contacted her from my real phone number on Whatsapp as the catfish's friend. I was being myself and I tried to demonize this persona I had developed in her mind. I don't know what I was trying to do but I thought that would at least push her away from the catfish. It seemed to work at first. She was extremely disappointed in the catfish while the real me tried to console her. I guess it was too abrupt, I just couldn't wait but the real me asked her out when she was still trying to get over the catfish. She just blocked me without saying anything.

I was frustrated and once again decided to take refuge in the sock persona. I know this was stupid of me and I could've stopped it at that moment but I was in this spell. I missed her badly and couldn't focus on anything. I (the catfish) tried to explain why "he" (real me) tried to demonize me (again, the catfish) and clear any misunderstandings. I guess her attachment and urges overpowered her wisdom and objectivity and she reconciled with me. Since then, we have been fighting on and off. I have been the one to start them always because I don't want to keep her in this dark never-ending tunnel. I used to fight with her all the time in attempt to move away from her thereby doing us both huge favors but the heart wants what it wants. I would always come back after every fight, apologize and reconcile, and she would accept me back with open arms. I couldn't tell her the truth but I was also a victim of this perpetual vicious cycle. I just couldn't control it.

It has been an year now and we fought again. She is always so forgiving (for the catfish at least) and I just wish she wasn't. I just wish she would refuse to take anymore bullsh*t and stop responding to my messages. You see, it's hard for me in that I can't tell her the truth out of fear of losing her (which I probably already have) and neither can I contact her again from the real me because I'm sure she already hates me. I'm in this deadlock that is eating me alive. Secondly, the guilt of doing all this to her.

I wish I could just go back in time and just inbox her from my real account on the very first day so I wouldn't have to make all these stories. But hey, we were just being silly and I never thought she would go on to become an important person in my life. I still miss her, I love her, I think about her all day long, I sometimes cry in my bed at night alone, it's taking a toll on my physical and mental health, I have thought so many times of offing myself. I know you might say the best medicine is meet new people, date and all that but I have tried that and I can't do that. I see her everywhere. I try to look for her in other women.

I know I'm a terrible person for doing that to her. I should be ashamed of myself and my guilt has made me cry for her. Trust me, I never even thought of doing something like this and keeping at it for an year, let alone planning on it. It just happened.

To concerned woman, I intend to muster up courage to send you a link to this confession one day. If you're reading this, I'm genuinely sorry. I will have you forever in my heart. I don't want to get anything out of this but the satisfaction of leading you towards the light.

 

idk maybe but read this book first then reconsider: Night Falls Fast: Understanding Suicide by Kay Redfield Jamison

Never Happened.

 

Dude I didn't read this but the title but don't.

If you want to kill yourself and think life doesn't matter, think of it this way. Since life doesn't matter in your mind then you can just do whatever the hell you enjoy or makes you happy (obv assuming u aren't harming anyone).

I don't know. I liked the idea of her initially. By the time I wanted to tell her the truth, we already had great intellectually simulating conversations that I never really told her the truth out of fear of losing her company. I got stuck in this procrastination cycle also that is I'd always put off telling her the truth, like one more day and so one and now it has been an year.

 

Here's some real talk - if you hate yourself then figure out why and go on the attack. If you are fat cut calories and exercise. If you are ugly get a haircut, a tan, and a new wardrobe. If your career sucks then learn new skills so you can upgrade. If you suck socially then watch some comedy, force yourself into new situations, and find those who will accept you.

Whining and bitching will just dig a deeper hole. Listen to this guy - this is the best motivation and advice you can get.

 

Dude seriously do not kill yourself. Your infatuation with that girl is just brain chemistry that will go away. I know it can fuck you up for a while because I’ve been there too, but it’ll be fine with time. There’s plenty of fish in the sea.

Also, try to reconsider your approach with women. Do not become too dependent on some girl you’re not sleeping with. I would try to read some literature on dating from a mans perspective (the rational male, 3% man, no more mr. Nice guy, etc). Also watch YouTube videos of Corey Wayne. His advice on dating is outstanding and he’s got tons of videos.

Forget about the chick! Do not contact her! From what your saying she’s not into you although you are! Any contact between you two will just cause more pain for you! If she reaches out to you make clear to her that you want to date her and nothing else and if she says no never look back until the end of your life.

 

Simply, just the thought of doing that is beyond any one person alone. You are your own person, but also you are the mix of everyone else that is near you. Simply giving away to your life is selfish as there are people out there who want to be there for you, and want to be your friend. Finding someone you like is smaller than keeping your life. You can always find someone new, but you cannot ever find a new you. Once you are gone, you are gone. Living, breathing, and just in the moment in your current life is way better than death. Even if you want to be alone, live and be alone and enjoy your life by yourself; there is so much to do and not enough time to do it. Be optimistic, because in life the little things count. I do not know who you are, but I do know if I did meet you that we would be good friends just judging by your nature and personality. There are a thousand me's who would do the same thing and be your friend through it all. So trust me, live your life to the fullest and these small hurdles and obstacles will always come, but at the end of the day your family, your friends, and the life you create is the most important. Let mistakes be mistakes, let bygones be bygones, and always just keep a smile on your face. I wish you the best and if you do need a friend please do not hesitate to reach out, I would love to be a helping hand!
