This Was My Second (And Last) Suicide Note

Angela Feather

This was written on 10/11/16 at 11:15 pm, right before attempting suicide. These thoughts are the kinds of thoughts that run through my head when my passive suicidal thoughts become active ones, and I feel as if I have no one to go to. I'm glad my attempt failed and that my best friend was there to help me.

Why was I born?

Was I really “the sperm that won?”

What is the purpose of life anyway?

Are there sperm that hate me?

Does everyone hate me?

Do I hate me? I know I do.

Is a life of debt and chronic depression a life worth living?

I push everyone away and expect them to come back when I need them the most.

Why can’t I just get out of bed?

There are so many people on this planet with the exact same diagnoses as I, yet with more drive and motivation to keep going.

My parents and friends have exhausted their resources and emotional support to help me.

I’ve been hospitalized twice this year. If treatment can’t help me, there’s not much left that can.

That's why I'm about to end all of this pain and suffering I've put on my family and friends. Maybe if I cut deep enough, I'll sever the radial artery. God I hope so. I can't take anymore of this. I've been told I'm selfish and suicide is selfish, but I guess this is it; they both go hand-in-hand.

All I know right now is that I’m helpless and no one wants to help me anymore.

I'm physically and mentally repulsive

I use my friends too much for emotional support and cry when they withdraw that support, like a toddler who can't get her way.

All in all, I'm a stupid 19 year-old alcoholic.

A waste of talent.

A waste of brains.

A waste of space.

I don’t belong here.

This is a picture of me (right) and my best friend Melissa (left.) She's the angel that saved my life that night and I will never be able to repay her for all she did for me.

I love you with all my heart, Melissa. I'm so glad I have you in my life. We're partners-in-crime 'till the day we die.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
