> I'm fairly miserable but also quite certain that I can never really be happy. I've just come to the conclusion that it's for the best. It sounds so stupid, even to me, but I have my reasons and must die.
> My concern is I want to have a minimal impact on those who know me and want to know if anyone has a better idea than what I've come up with so far: I'm simply going to sell my stuff, tell everyone I've taken a job overseas, India or something, yet not actually go, drive off a very steep cliff into the ocean instead (I've already got a good spot scouted out). That way my friends etc wont really have to deal. I actually don't want anyone I know to know. They just won't ever hear from me again. Any ideas?
>>>>If you have really legit reasons to commit suicide (ex. an incurable illness or injury that has robbed your life of any meaning), then I think you'd do better for your friends if you left a note.
But I think you should contact a suicide hotline and let them give you the number for a psychiatrist from whom you can get therapy &/or meds. I don't know your reasons for wanting to commit suicide but THERE ARE NOT MANY GOOD REASONS FOR IT (some people would say it's wrong under any circumstance; but I don't see it as wrong in certain limited circumstances.)
