Does anyone else have a date to CTB in mind?

[idreamofwires]

I was just wondering if anyone else has a set date of when they're going to CTB (of course you don't have to share the date) and if they're going to be doing anything leading up to that date?

As for me, I've cut back my social media (well I only use Reddit and I stopped posting there a month ago) and forum use. I guess I'd rather fade away into the background than just abruptly leave.

I cut out all social media over a year ago but because I hated it and not necessarily part of my plan to ctb. I don't have a specific date as I think that will make me more anxious and less likely to try it. Instead, I practice to feel comfortable with my method and keep living my life until the day I'm really ready.

The way things are going, by 2030 probably. (and that's being optimistic)

Either whenever I get the SN and meto in the mail or whenever I feel ready.

On or around 12 October 2029. I will be 65 years old. That's enough... I'm done.

Setting dates is absolutely pointless and is counter productive.

It sets us up for failure and will give impending panic and anxiety.

Most of us can't set a date to quit smoking or start a diet, let alone kill ourselves.

The only time we can CTB is when we are 100% ready. That could literally be in 5 minutes or 5 decades, we can never know.

i wonder if anyone is ever 100% ready... i know that if i wait for that ''readiness'' it's highly unlikely i'll be able to do it

The ones who are 100% ready have left this life.

not sure about that, maybe they just had the strongest willpower

I think there is a middle ground: You have to organize and make all pre arrengements (methods and means to CTB in hands, letters, will, donate your belongings etc) and then you can "wait " for the right time.
If you dont move forward in the plan, and just stay passive (e.g. : just praying that you just die in your sleep, which is unlikely), you will never CTB. you must help yourself in the journey in order to the be 100% ready. Just being passive and complaining does not help at all. Its not an easy journey.

me too. January

September for me. I don't want to reach 25

 

[viljalauss]

11th june. finally booked the hotel so the date is baked in

and i have exams from late may till then (spanning just over 3 weeks) so uhh. that

i also plan to make a little website (literally like myspace html type) to leave info and links to music and nice things on the internet. maybe some recipes too.
i mostly use reddit, sometimes discord, barely twitter. think i can fade away easily enough on reddit and twitter, discord maybe less so. that said, the number of conversations i've not been able to keep up with either because i forget to reply or i keep thinking i'm gonna ctb soon.. maybe it won't be so difficult. just taking a very very long nap

I'm the same way every year I keep saying I'm going to ctb and it never happens

Do you have a method in mind?

 

[Sad_Autistic_boy_101]

I'm hoping to by the end of this year or by summer. I just feel ready to go now, I really feel it is my time. I've waited long enough for things to get better but they only get worse. I am longing for peace.

 

[Ligottian]

No specific date. A few variables still. But I have an almost sure fire method I can use at almost any time.

I have many in mind. I still need to decide on one. Ideally, it would be euthanasia

 

[Kurai]

This year hopefully not sure of the exact date yet but I can't live this life any longer

 

[Forveleth]

On or around 12 October 2029. I will be 65 years old. That's enough... I'm done.

Retirement on hardcore setting. I like it.

 

[greebo6]

About 2-3 months from now I think.
There is a reason for that and not doing it sooner.

 

[HereTomorrow]

Every time I set up a date, I end up not doing it.

Since joining here I'm giving myself until September 1st, 2024. If I am still suicidial I'll still go. I choose this time because it's after summer ends and I just am done being alive.

But, I keep saying I won't do it. I'll forget this time and live past this date realistically. Having a date just gives me some kind of peace.

"The only time we can CTB is when we are 100% ready."

A very good standard! But I'm never 100% sure of anything. . So I might settle for 97%.

Which, as someone said, could be 5 minutes from now, or 5 years from now.

 

[AsTheWorldCaves]

Early 2025. I hate having set the date so far in advance, but I got things to wrap up before then.

 

[Lifeaffirmingchoice]

No specific date. A few variables still. But I have an almost sure fire method I can use at almost any time.

May I ask what that method is? I like having surefire methods on hand, it comforts me.
