I'm new on here, can't figure how to post my own statement. Related to your post though, been planning exits since I was 17 have had 4 attempts or maybe they are just crys for help I'm now in my 40s I'm trying to determine that if they were real at all, because I'm obviously still here. Been on the net engulfed in articles about exiting all morning. I have bipolar disorder, and things in my life have been bad. I've found a way now, that I know is pain free and will work. I don't plan on doing it now, but Im scared of my new knowledge. I mean am I really in danger or are these just normal thoughts I don't know anymore. I've read a old diary, and it made me realize that I've always been this way. Are these thoughts normal for everyone or just me?
