If I turn on the ignition of the car in the garage, with a hose attached to the exhaust pipe, how long will it take for me to die? Will I go to sleep or pass out first? I want this to be painless. I have never been liked. I am simply unlikable . Extrememly depressed for too long. Parents are getting old and can no longer support me. Cannot interact with people at all. I'm dead anyway. Afte money runs out, then what? 6 unsuccesssful suicide attempts. Therapy never worked. As soon as people encounter me, they get very hostile. Hate getting screamed at. Always seems to happen for just asking for help. I just have that type of face that says " Use me as an emotional punching bag"

If you are feeling suicidal, which it seems you are, then please call your therapist or 911, or take yourself to the hospital. I know that there would be a lot of people that would miss you if you went through with something like you described. Hang in there. Things do get better. Please let me know how you are doing. Tell me about yourself. You like watching tv? What's your favorite show? Like to read? Favorite book? Have any pets? I'll be your friend.

Have you tried medication? When it works, it can work very well.
Carbon monoxide is a pretty dicey way to go. I met someone who was unsuccessful that way. He has the brain of a 3-yr-od and the body of a 40-yr-old. He is entirely dependent on his family.

Sounds like you are in a lot of pain. And you have been for a long time. And you've tried to fix things and it hasn't worked. I do understand the place where you are. It really is not a nice place.
There are people in the world who do care about you (How many people have answered your post so far? Your parents care. I'm betting that there are other people you know who care (and you may not even know that they care - but they do)).
Please don't give up now - I have found that a change in therapist, and medication changes, have taken me from the same place you are in (intolerable pain with no hope of improvement) to a place where I see hope and I am even able to see progress. To make that change, I had to take what felt like enormous risks - but at that point, the outcome couldn't have been much worse than what I was living with already.
I find it impossible to believe that you are truly "unlikable". Every person has good points and bad points. You just need to find someone who appreciates your good points. Do you know what your good points are? One of your good points is that you are willing and able to ask for help when you need it. What are your other good points?
