Wow, guy gave up on life mighty quick. So he's in school, apparently young enough that he can't drive, but his parents are nowhere to be found? His father is briefly mentioned regarding cutting down a tree, where are the parents at in all this? But ok, ignoring that still before killing one's self how about trying moving? Just generally going anyplace that isn't there? Trying to procure a gun and confront the thing (if you live alone near the woods having a gun is probably an ok idea anyways)? Install security cameras to figure out how the thing is getting into your house or maybe catch some footage and hand it to the police/become famous for capturing legitimate footage of the supernatural? I mean, hell, if all else fails go honestly tell your story to the authorities along with the part about thinking about offing yourself and they'll probably stick you in a psych ward far away from there where people are virtually always present and the thing wouldn't be able to get at you even if it for some reason followed (I'm trying to use supernatural story logic here).

Those all seem like better options than continuing to do the exact same highly unpleasant thing every night until you eventually kill yourself.
