Tripti Dhungana

I was distressed and disgusted with everything around me. So I dug myself a grave. I had attempted suicide before. Once I tried to poison myself with a handful of sedatives and painkillers but these tranquillizers were ineffective. Then I tried to suffocate myself but could not hold my breath long enough. Razors and knives seemed rather painful. There weren’t any cliffs around and hanging myself would make me seem like a prisoner. Therefore, I took my father's gun and went into the forest to end my life.
