Perhaps contemplate that, and pretend to care enough to figure out which you are, or which you'd prefer to be. You talk about being humble in almost the same breath as you talk about being homicidal. I don't see any compatibility in the two, not even paradoxical. Yes, find that therapist who has some solid input and support for you, but stay with them long enough to honestly evaluate their potential to help you. I don't know how long you have been in this multi-leveled frame of mind, but I hope you find some escape, even for just a few hours. You sound exhausted and my heart goes out to you. I do have spiritual faith and it brings me peace and hope. What harm would it do for you to explore that; you might enjoy Naturalism or a Native American spiritualism? If it brings you peace, what harm is there. Good luck to you. I will be thinking about you and the things you said.
There's no part 2; and I'm not sure why one would fear verboseness. I try to make my posts a little longer each time someone comments on the length. That's my nature.

I'm glad at least someone read that--that's reassuring to know. But it's rare. And that's part of the problem. It's a greatly lonely feeling. To know that these problems are so multi-tiered and there's hardly anyone out there feeling the same. Sometimes I strike gold though; I'm still waiting for that. Sometimes there's that one incredibly intelligent person out there, with compassion to boot.

But the responses have consisted mostly of (among forums throughout the internet; not even necessarily here): I don't know what to tell you, but I hope you get better. This wasn't always the case with Psychology forums. I think others' empathy is in short supply. We're living in a bad, bad time. Until I've been helped I will not pay it forward unfortunately; right now I'm on the defensive. Right now I am close to no empathy, because the same has been shown to me. I never would have dreamt responses would be this unhelpful--there's suicidal people on here. And I'll be quite honest, if I were truly and urgently wanting to kill myself I would have blown my brains out based on the lack of helpful resources out there. Even all the self-help articles littered throughout the net lack any sort of relatability. And replies to a post are scarce and take a while. I will give one bit of advice to someone though: pose as a woman when you're posting. They receive advice much more readily based on my (first-hand) experience.

I'll have to wait on a therapist because of financial reasons, so this is all I have.

I appreciate the response a lot. Sometimes the lack of responses exacerbate
depression. This has not worsened my depression. Although it has spiked my anger level up a bit.

I am anti-any spirituality unfortunately. I believe in atheism vehemently. I'm beyond an atheist at this point. What's the next step up? Super-atheist? No, but really, spirituality is so, so far out of the equation.

If that's one of the few things gleaned from that, the post wasn't large enough. You missed the thrust of the post of if you're counting inconsistencies and contradictions. Plus, I said I was tired of being humble. I'm ready to join the narcissistic in-crowd. I have nothing to lose now.

I'm running out of time. I really am inching toward suicide, but I'd LOVE not to kill myself. Funny thing is, I don't know why I'd announce it when I know nobody would care. Just as a rule of thumb. Almost nobody I encounter really, truly cares about another's death if it's of remote interest to them, especially if it's via suicide.

All I have to cling to is the possibility that someone out there comes along and responds with depth. Surely there are those that exist out there. That's all I can wait for until I'm able to get another therapist.

I understand your pain as I’ve been in that place myself. I have no advice to give to help you...just know that you aren’t alone. I hope things get better for you.
I'm pretty ****ing alone. Thanks though.
