Departure on birthday?

[DreamsofDeath]

Has anyone considered making their birthday their time to go? It seems quite apt to me and I'd quite like to. My main issue, however, is that mine is the week after next and I'm not sure I'll have managed to summon up my courage by then. The idea appeals to me, though.

Yep, thought about it a lot. It seems that loved ones would only have to deal with one anniversary...not a birthday and anniversary of you leaving.

This is a good point as well. With me, I think only my mother would be particularly affected (others would get over it easily enough) and that would make that aspect easier to deal with.

Worst birthday ever if you fail, especially if it leaves you with damage

That's funny, because I have the same idea and my birthday is in a few days, too XD. I like the thought, that all started and ends on this date. But I'm not totally sure about it... there is still a lot to do (e.g. write suicide notes, maybe buy a suit etc) and I'm a fcking lazy person or just too depressed XD

I know the feeling - if only this idea had come about a few months ago for some proper planning. Could always start the planning for next year's birthday but I want/need to have managed it by then...

It'd make a cool obituary and look cool on your tombstone

I think is a good idea. I heard that someone did that. I chose Valentine's day the last time. But this time I think it will be another date ... birthday could be interesting. But currently I have no motivation of doing nothing. A pair of months ago I was more motivated to ctb and sometimes I was near.

Interesting idea! I think i might do that in the future. Great birthday gift to me.
The gift of freeing myself.

That's how I see it - an ideal present. Escape from all suffering. Marking the anniversary of where it all started with a final flight to freedom.

I've considered doing similar. I think March 22nd to be like a second "birthday" of sorts, as that was the day my life ended and I became an ambulatory corpse.

You don't have legs?

I meant that I'm like a zombie: not entirely dead, not entirely alive. My spirit and vitality are gone, it's just that my body needs to catch up and depart as well. : )

For me february is the date. I got separated from my exwife and some years later (10 or so) from my girlfriend, the same month.
I think in february the wires in my brain cross and they get short circuit.

It might be best to send a private message, post on my profile or read my earliest post history. This is DreamsofDeath's thread on catching the bus on one's birthday anniversary after all!

Are you going to read your cards and open your presents before or after...?
