Do you think your Suicide would set off a chain of suicides within your circle?

[Volatile]

circle meaning anyone who knows you. I think my death would cause at least one other person to ctb.

 

[Redt2go]

I have some mental illness in my circle so maybe

 

[Johnnythefox]

I think maybe you're referring to the werther effect.

The werther effect

wow, that was an incredibly interesting read!

Personally, I don't think I'll start a chain of suicides. I don't know anyone else who has issues like me, so they'll probably say 'oh I never expected it from him' and move on with their lives.

 

[Exile]

I don't think so. I just can't see anyone I know doing that. I also don't think what I'm planning to do would really surprise people who know me.

 

[LiveSlowDieFast]

Most likely, which is one of the reasons that keeps me from doing it

 

[ThisIsTheLastNight]

The only person who has reason to kill himself if another person does, is the life partner, because both wanted to spend the rest of their lives together and now everything changes. Others have no reason to do anything. Parents? Children should not be the meaning of their own life. At some point, children should have their own family and live their own lives anyway. Siblings? exactly the same. So with partners, I can imagine it, not with all others

That's subjective but I respect your opinion

 

[sólstafir]

It wouldn't be a surprise to many people I think, but I'm most worried about my little sister. Her being alone in this world and the burden of my CTB on her shoulders, I can't imagine her starting to contemplate the same fate -too painful, but I know that could happen. I'm in a trap now, but my action will cause even worse pain for her than I am in now...

 

[Johnnythefox]

I posted in the past about a girl who never got over her father ctb and did it from the same tree.

Nah everybody I know loves being alive even if they think life is fucked up

Holy shit! :(

 

[color_me_gone]

Pre-adolescent children have the propensity to blame themselves for bad things that happen to their parents, even when there is no logic behind it. It starts a never ending cycle of depression, which defies any kind of treatment. I know, it happened to me.

Adolescent kids have enough of their own problems to face, without adding to it by parents' ctb.

Holy shit! :(

Jesus, she was 15?! Wow. Geez, what a tragedy. (Also, on a side note—no one could pass along a better photo of her than a Snapchat selfie of her making a duckface? Really?)

 

[TAW122]

I don't think so. Most of the people who know me IRL would probably be surprised or those who had a hunch (or suspicion) based on my moodiness and negativity, might be thinking, "it sucks TAW122 died" and then quickly move on... The people who are going to be sad, if at all, would be my family but they also know my moodiness and depressive episodes in the past.

 

[Burbank]

My mom would be devastated, grandma too. They both show strong signs of depression, so that's the main thing holding me back at this point. Doesn't help that i'm an only child in my whole family circle. They keep me like a treasure.

Friends, however, would be fine. I wouldn't be surprised if a classmate or two would make couple 'clever' comments or edgy jokes about me ctb lol. Wouldn't blame them tbh. I'm pretty forgettable among circles

 

[Memento Mori]

maybe one, maybe not. I don't think so

@J that article is some sad touching shit :/

 

[Jenna]

These are hard to read. I know Dana Plato's son did the same thing.

[Korrok]

No, but I know it would cause people to be seriously traumatized. Aside from not having a reliable method, which I am planning on getting soon, the pain I would cause others is my main reason for not doing it yet. But I don't think I can just continue to prolong my existence so that others won't be hurt.

 

[Jenna]

I'm hoping it doesn't. The people I get concerned about are getting very detailed notes on why it happened.

 

[Logic]

I personally was never like that. It was just never how I thought.

 

[Tragoedia Vitae]

Hahaha I don't think so. It's not likely that they would know the exact circumstances of my death, but even if they did, a few of them would probably feel bad or regretful for about 3 seconds and then move on with their lives. Our lives consume us and we are consumed by life, so that's our top preoccupation. Everything else—including other people—is secondary. People also don't like to think about bad things. They are extremely averse to any perceived negativity. They would rather consign such things to the garbage heap for all time.

So when I die, absolutely nothing would happen because people would simply forget all about me—at least I hope so! I certainly don't want to be remembered.

 

[lowres]

circle meaning anyone who knows you. I think my death would cause at least one other person to ctb.

I think it could happen, my mother has told me before that she wouldnt know what to do if i ctb and might do it because of that. That was a while ago and we were both very upset that day having a back and forth because i was restless and threatening to do it though so im unsure.

 

[Ruffian]

Yes. I worry that my nephew/godchild would. We are so connected in that we see how dysfunctional and oppressive my family is. He already has depression and ideation, but he did start to get help. Unfortunately his description of his first few sessions had me banging my head up a wall - she sounds as bad as my first therapist. I don't want to set that example for someone so young or give him ideas.

 

[KupoCometh]

At least one, if not two, of my siblings

 

[AhG]

More than likely not. All my irl friends are decently happy. But I'm 50/50 on my wife. She said if something ever happened to me that she would end her life, but now might be a different story.

 

[Broken]

I have no friendship circle and my mum dad and brother have no mental health issues like me so I don't think me ctb'ing would make them ctb

 

[Othermind]

Definitely not impossible.
My mom's barely holding on with therapy, dad puts a façade of stability but god knows what goes on inside his head and my sister has always been sheltered and maladjusted. Plus some of my friends have a history with depression, suicidal thoughts all kinds of substance abuse...
I honestly have no idea and I'd rather not think about it, it could be all of them, it could be none of them.
What is certain is that I'm going to hurt a lot of people. Whether they decide to ctb, too, I don't know but I hope they hold on from the bottom of my heart.

 

[David Richardson]

I certainly hope not. I can only really imagine my father doing this. Perhaps some of my friends who know about my state. I think that most people would be sad for a few minutes and quickly move on. I hate to say this because I am very protective of my close friends, but there is a chance that it could traumatize a few of them. ( This is my first comment, I apologise if I am not making any sense )
