This Was My Second (And Last) Suicide Note

A very special person intervened that night.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
