I threw away the gun I was planning to kill myself with - No way out now

Hello .org, this is going to be a little bit of a different thread because unlike my other threads that detail about my personal life, this is about the events of just a few days ago.

So to give a little bit of context and history, I travel a lot, I meet many different people when I do, and I get a lot of opportunities that I wouldn’t usually get when traveling abroad.

Roughly 2 years ago, I was in a state of total depression, I hated every day of my life, and through a friend in the city I was in, I was able to buy a firearm (specifically a 9MM, at least that’s what I think it was. Only thing that mattered is that it worked and it was lethal) through a third party (use your brain.) I was on a roadtrip so there was no risk of airport security or any type of problems emerging from me having it on me. My guardians were unaware of this.

I was at this point, very well versed in methods of suicide and knew that firearms were the only surefire way out (although I always doubted the one I bought would 100% work, but it was close enough.) I was planning to use it as soon as possible after getting it but we had to meet up with extended family and I didn’t want to ruin the entire event so I had it hidden at the bottom of my bag. After I eventually returned home, I contemplated killing myself for a while but I eventually settled with hiding it away deep into my closet and wrote down a date: March 31, 2025.

The year passed, and March 31st came. I had gotten mostly everything ready, and I took the 9MM out of my closet. It was a pretty big hit of adrenaline, I wasn’t really able to hold it still, my hands were shaking like crazy. By the time I was able to get myself calm, hours had passed and it was 12:07AM at night, April 1st, 2025. Since dying on April Fools seemed like a pretty lousy way to go, I put the firearm back, waiting ‘till next year. I figured that if I was going to die, I should at least have control over the circumstances of it so I go out clean.

Then 2026 came, it was a lot different than I initially assumed because I started getting somewhat active on this site, and enjoying time spent on it. This didn’t change my plans, and I got everything ready the coming months. However since I had become somewhat of an advocate for hope and life on this website by the time March came around, I figured that I should leave the community with one final thread before I left.
So on March 29th, I posted this thread:

This was the final part of a series of threads I made across a few days, it was meant to be my final contribution to the website before leaving entirely, to make sure no suspicions arose, I included a few shitposts and a thread asking if users would be interested in learning how to morph to put up the idea that I was going to stay around.

March 30th passed fast and the day came, March 31st, 2026. The night before, I had gone to sleep planning to kill myself at around 10:00 - 11:30PM. I wanted to go during the night. But things didn’t go as planned, I woke up to see that a moderator, SlayerJonas, had pinned my thread. The thread previously had done alright, like my other threads, and I didn’t expect much of it, however users had gotten it the attention of a moderator who pinned it. This made my day better, a lot better. I almost didn’t want to do it. So many users were replying saying such nice things and I got messages from users who wanted to talk, so I was occupied for the majority of the day.

Nighttime came, and I got everything in order. I took my firearm out of my closet, and laid down towels to make sure I didn’t get anything too dirty. My phone rang, it was a friend I hadn’t talked to in a while, he was in town and wanted to go out. I figured that he’d never forgive himself if I said no and kill myself right after, and at this point, I didn’t care if I did a day or two after I originally planned, all that meant nothing anymore. I went out with my friend, we went to the mall and got some food and talked for a while. We stayed up quite late so when I came home, I knocked out and slept until very late into the next day.

The next day, it was the same plan. Wait until 10:30 - 11:30PM, depending on how the day went, and die. The day passed and at 10:33PM, I was tagged in a thread by my friend @HtnceI:

I instinctively messaged davidlaid. I had talked to him a long time prior and knew he had a very negative perception of himself and maybe I could get him to put it off for a bit. We spoke, but he was largely unresponsive as he was in a terrible mental state. This process took well into the night and I decided I couldn’t die now on the off chance I could make 1% of a difference, and as a last resort, I posted a thread asking people to leave a kind word about him.

I didn’t expect many interactions but I figured that it’d take him a while to delete his account and get the revolver, so maybe a few people could help him change his mind. To my surprise, the thread got overwhelmingly positive responses and did well. I waited a few days to see the outcome and thankfully, davidlaidisme67 got out of his mental state and is doing better now. I am eternally happy he helped himself and am proud of him for not giving up.

Seeing how people genuinely cared, even here, was shocking to me. I was fully expecting a racist cesspool of hate under what I posted but I got the exact opposite. People were kind, people wanted to help and do good. So I figured I should stay around for a little while.

Fast forward to last Friday, I was speaking to a few of my friends from .org, and I mentioned how I had been experiencing a terrible day. Through coming clean, I experienced a surge of confidence, and more importantly, hope. The next day, I took the gun from my closet, went into a worse part of my city, and dumped it into a dumpster in an alleyway.

No way out now, I have to improve or rot as who I am, there is no escape.

I am so grateful to each and every user on here, you all have inspired me to live and do better, and I hope I will never let that down.

If you are reading this and are experiencing mental health issues of your own, please never hesitate to reach out to someone, whether a friend, guardian, or even me, my messages are always open and I’m always willing to talk.

Explore, have fun, love, and most importantly, live.

The world is yours.
