Also you might try /r/depression and  /r/suicidewatch, and there are most likely transgender subreddits with people who are going through the same things you are. Tons of people there to help.

That was going to be my next stop.

It's funny you mention comedy.  I've been trying to start doing stand-up recently.  Never got around to trying to perform a set at any of the local open mics.  Over the past year I've made acquaintance with someone who's a semi-popular comedic writer.  We're both trans and we both have the same kinda snide and sarcastic way of looking at things.  He digs most of my material, and he's encouraged me a couple of times to try it out.  We've both had similar experiences dealing with self harm/self loathing/suicide/etc.

This'll sound immodest but it's true nonetheless: spend time with people as smart as yourself. Learn a little bit of arrogance - it's unfortunately necessary for survival.

Why do you think I'm here?   ;)

This poster made specific mention of working with MV previously.   MV knows if this is true, and if it is, MV may be in the best position to make the call on the validity/seriousness of these posts. If, in his mind, MV believes the situation warrants it, I'm sure he will take the appropriate action.

It is true, I remember at least one of the shows.

What is the appropriate action? Even if MV does know the name and address of this person, then what? I don't know if a call to the police does anything.

A fair point, my post was based on the assumption MV does know the individual's identify.  As for the appropriate action, a call to the police, then a call to a suicide prevention hotline.  I do not claim to be an expert in this area, but annual "wingman" training has been required in the USAF for at least a decade.  A significant portion of this training deals with the potential suicide of fellow airmen/coworkers.  Calling the police would be my first step.

Stand up comedy.  In front of ppl.  And you are thinking about suicide?  Fuck me to tears.  Doing stand up has to be one of the bravest things ever in my book.  Walk up to that mike, and regardless of the laughs or tears, you own that mike and those ppl.

Me?  Volunteer to walk point.  Check.  In Fallujah?  Check.  (Tucked my balls in reeeeal tight for that one)
Stand up comedy?  Fuuuuuuck no.  Send me back to Iraq, bro, no stand up for me.

If suicide is a viable option to you, you should call the hotline.  Not check in with a bunch of assholes like BellGab.  This is a very dysfunctional family. 
The humor here can be dark, dirty, gallows and quite frankly, we are dealing with an infestation of Davebots and English folk on top of it all.

And hear this, this is an Official Corps Communique: Your life is not a joke and you are not a punchline.  You are worth more than you know.  That is all.

A cigarette, a blindfold, and the warm sun on yer face?


sorry, sorry...

Someone said twenty, but it's better than that.

Even just four or five years from now, intellectually, you would wonder why you almost did it.

Like others here, I'm sure, I have talked people off the ledge by disrupting their circular logic, said logic a response to recent events.

But as your situation sounds more organic, repetitive, obsessive-thought built and rebuilt, I believe that well meaning people could probably talk to you all day fucking long and it would have little effect on the physicality of your dilemma.

If I were there, I would simply punch you in the face to initiate a reboot that would temporarily stop the cycle and allow a more cohesive discussion.

But I am not driving to Austin to punch you in the face.  If I made the jaunt, it would be to hang with MABUSE, and you ~might~ be invited to join us if you were sworn to secrecy etc etc.  You're so young, that hanging with us might very well corrupt you beyond all belief.

Instead of the above, I suggest transcranial magnetic stimulation. 

If you are going to kill yourself anyway, first run up a godless credit card bill and rent or buy a TMS device and give it a go and play with cutting edge tech, or find a medical facility that can provided (repetitive)TMS. 

It's debatable as to how well it works, etc, but you are in the perfect position to experiment and become a bona fide ~psychonaut~ instead of mere body bag stuffing.  ( And so close to Thanksgiving... ugh. )   There is significant data that proves TMS has a real and measurable effect.  The only side effect seems to be increased/better neural functioning.

Since you refuse to change your avatar, I have to question whether you will listen to anything I have to say, despite the fact I have rock and roll concert shirts older than you.

If you'd just said this in the movie, a lot of trouble could have been avoided.

   Great. Now I can have grave doubts about my powers of persuasion.

No truer statement.  Bellgab is less than an optimal feedback environment and is not to be confused with Bellevue-gab.

Catsmile would be the absolute first to point out we're all mad here.

I have to go do laundry.

Goddamn it.


I'm going to give my sister a call soon and ask her to drive me over to the hospital so I can admit myself.  Might as well try something.

Ketamine, if they've got it.

For what it is worth, I did think you were pranking us.

Being that we are all strangers. There is little intervention to provide. Even if there were some strategy, it really does come down to your control.

I do hope you go to a hospital and get some support.

I am not one to blather about how good your life can be. I will say however, looking back over my life, I am very glad to just be here. I hope you stay around to find something similar.

There's a whole new class of antidepressants being developed based on ketamine. These apparently start to work right away, not the usual four to six weeks.
If it came down to killing myself, I'd first try to get a hold of some ketamine legal or illegal.

Some of the many others in development...

I am all for the use of antidepressants. It is also important to develop a therapeutic relationship with a therapist. Without learning skills to help cope with the emotional stumbling blocks we all encounter, antidepressants at some point are of little help.

Hmm. I'm a big fan of tactical k-binges from time to time so I'm well aware of its supposed anti-depressant qualities. I can't see it helping in a regular-dose scenario. All that does is numb you all the time. I could claim that the first time I took K may well have saved my life, but if so it was in terms of short-sharp slap-to-the-soul, and I can't see how society could legislate for something like that.
