Suicide Monologue Essay

Decent Essays
It’s been over a month since we last spoke. I was doing, so much better then.
It was easy at first, I was naive. There’s so much they don’t tell you when your suicide attempt fails. I stopped taking my medicine. My grandpa’s going to tell you, but please hear me out.
At first, I convinced myself I didn’t need them, because I was doing fine, but really, I was just sick of all the side effects. You didn’t tell me the Zolof would make my nightmares worse. You didn’t tell me they would make me have panic attacks, when I saw him. You didn’t tell me how much I would cry. You said they would help me… but,they’re just tearing me apart.
How? How can I feel so low, when the pills are supposed to fix everything? I stopped taking them, so at least

    My boyfriend of three years broke up with me; my heart was shattered like a mirror on the ground, cracked and pieces missing. I never thought that this would affect me so much. I couldn’t let everyone see how upset I was, so I hid my emotions behind a fake smile that no one ever knew existed. That is where all my problems started; something started to grow inside of me like an embryo of a new unborn child. Slowly but surely I sank into a dark abyss of depression.…

John’s suicide was very impromptu as one might say because it was not planned; it was a sudden thing to occur.…

    I have to understand now that pills will never be a friend of mine for as long as I live, and I must admit that the fault is mine. I was a child whose mood was as volatile as the next and it is a partial excuse for the behavior I exhibited the evening that pills became a foe to me. As a young adult, I look back at this event as a defining moment in my life. I remember it, that night, too vividly that it is sometimes too traumatic to think about it, but it is experience that defines me-…
