Coming to Terms With My Suicide

Intense nausea is weariness with body-being; one truly does not recognize one’s self and its affectednesses. In such moments there is only the tiring, sickening sensation; there is no way of making meaning out of that experience in a simultaneous moment. This is what is meant by the loss of the self. But it was not really a desire to be left alone but left untroubled, left without having to respond; in short, without having to do anything. Is this surrender of agency equal to turning away from all presence and entering a state of worldlessness? This state could be compared to Levinas’s Il y a or the ’there-is’, his term for existence without existents/beings, the anonymous, dark, horrifying state of blank, non-intentional awareness.
