Assalam O Alaikum brother,
Suicide is one of the seventy major sins. Brother, emotions will hurt you, but if you let them take over, you will never succeed. You've got the chance to live, brother. 5 TIMES you've survived. Talk to someone, like your mother or father, and if not, and imam or a close brother or friend. You could even email me if you like. Keeping these emotion bottled up will make you explode. Help yourself for you and the sake of Allah. Salam and have a nice day.
Good advice but do not post your email address please. We do not allow it.

How did you feel immediately after your each attempt when you knew you were still alive? What was the first thought?
What is making you do all this?
Rather than attempting suicide 5 times, you should have offered prayers 5 times a day. Atleast that would have ward off such evil thoughts from your mind. Keep yourself busy. Sorry to ask but is commiting suicide your hobby ?

[ every time i eat something it wouldn’t worthy either it expired or any thing else… ]
What does that mean ? What you eat is out of the expiry date you mean to say even after eating that you still survive? Not necessary one dies after eating expired things. You might get Food Poisioning or Gastretitis :D. Stop being foolish. How old are you? Does your parents / wife / children know this physchological behaviour of yours?
I might have sound rude. But Life is ALLAHs gift. Not everyone get it. So why do you want to spoil it this way by doing obnoxious things? No one is going to be immortal. You are going to die and so do i one fine day. What you should learn is to LIVE. Not everyone Lives, but all Die. Concentrate on your career and Deen. And ward off such thoughts from your mind.
And yes, what you did was Gunaah ! Repent by offering 5 times prayers for 5 years continously. You certainly will be forgiven because that good habit you will continue till you LIVE.
May ALLAH (SWT) Bless You !
