How long you guys are giving yourself for?

[Joey]

I'm most likely giving myself until I'm 30 and see how life plays out from there. I'm 26 right now and it's possible that it can get better but life's unpredictable and you don't know what can happen.

What's your cut-off date?

 

[heatdeath]

37, maybe 40.

I turned 33 recently and took stock of my life. I have no friends, no girlfriend, barely any sexual experience, not physically attractive, buried in student loan debt, etc. If things don't improve by then or if my parents die first, I'm done.

 

[St. Jimmy]

Mine used to be 30. My best friend and I share a birthday and have known each other our whole lives, even though she's one year older than me. When we were teenagers, we made a pact that if our lives were still shit by the time we were 30/31, we'd off ourselves together. I will more than likely cash in on that earlier.

Im pretty sure I don't have very much time left for reasons I won't go into, so I will keep going anyways. Make it as far as I can. Don't know how long at the moment.

haha, I literally posted this exact post the other day! my cut off is 37. I'm currently 28 and a half. If I haven't got a place to live, a partner, children, a relatively stable job I don't hate by then ( I currently have none of these things) then after this s probably too late ( I'm a female so my biological clock won't last much past this). I don't have a good relationship at all with my current family, nor am I particularly career-driven. So if I don't have a new family don't see much point in continuing past then. The partner part will be hard because I loved my ex so much and shared so much with him I honestly don't think I am capable of love like that again...and if I see him marry and have kids with someone else it will probably destroy me, but well, trying not to be closed-minded about it!!!!! If things are too disastrous or painful to handle before then, I have my SN already so I can go. But I feel as though 37 is quite a reasonable cut-off point.

31. Which is in 12 days.

I'm male and I had the exact same with my ex they for me were the one and if I sqw them marry or move on it would finish me so doing it before so I can have something positive that way..... the thought of her with someone else makes me physically sick

 

[_Minsk]

i will be 24 soon, have one last thing i wanna try out. if it fails too, it will be my deadline.. so tired of this crappy existence..

 

[Sprite_Geist]

As soon as I get to energy to finally push myself to do it. First the plan was to leave right before I hit 21... That didn't work out. Then it was 25 - that's didn't happen either. I'm angry at myself for putting it off over and over again. I will tie up some loose ends and then hopefully I can do it this time.

 

[torturedbylife]

Preferably before 35. I'm sure 100% that my future will be dark and grim because with each day, month, year that passes things just get worse for me. I'm afraid of what will happen to me in the future. And I sure as hell don't wanna become old lol.

 

[sadgirl2002]

I'm planning to wait around three years to see how things go, I will wait until August 2023. Hopefully, things will change by then.

 

[Alec]

I'm 23 right now, if things don't change or at least start to change soon I don't see a point of going much longer, not even a year more, it would just be wasting time for me and dragging it out and I don't see a point in that.

 

[WitheringAway]

26 this year should be my breaking point if nothing goes according to the plan I'll end it on jan2021

 

[Sensei]

If my life doesn't change dramatically, I'll leave at the very latest three years from now.

 

[harkovv]

before my 21 birthday, im 20 now and i have a month left.
i didn't think i would get this far cuz i always wanted to leave before my 18 birthday, but i guess i'll be 20 forever soon.

 

[HappyMstake]

Next month sometime between the 10th and 17th it's the only time I'll have alone and I'm so ready for it.

 

[Rue89]

As soon as I can find a day that it isn't raining and I'm able to sneak out of the house early enough. I'm hoping this week. I was trying for last week but it didn't work out.

 

[Deleted member 17949]

idk really. I don't want to live to 19. Maybe a few weeks or months, I'm not sure.

 

[SunInTheShade9]

30. But I never thought I'd reach 22. Gave it my all. My plan is to go tonight, I'm 29.

 

[DeadButDreaming]

I can't see myself living for more than 2 years, but I've somehow managed to make it to age 39, so who the fuck knows.

 

[TAW122]

I don't have an absolute hard deadline, but I will say, depending on what my situation is, most likely sometime later this year would be the year I CTB. If not, then at the earliest, possible opportunity (where I am least likely to be intervened, interfered with, and also perfect timing). Life just sucks badly and I have no interest in living a long life until old age.

 

[Fragile]

Just before the expiration date on my N. so about 1 year.

 

[GonnaGoBye]

Mine I guess, till my birthday which is in about 40 days, im 24 and going 25.

 

[suicidebabyseal]

I always gave myself until 25. I'm 25 now, so it is just a matter of time

 

[Werewolf]

Couple of months, couple of years who knows. Most days it feels I have one foot over the edge already and I'm just waiting for that last push.
Some days it's plain-sailing weather and everything seems fine, such days are few and far between though.

When I was younger I never thought I'd make it to 25 but the years roll on and I'm still here 10 years later, old but still very much alive lol.

 

[draw a circle]

I was giving myself until 20; or more like, I thought I wasn't going to stay alive past 20 for some reason. Turns out I started being suicidal at 17-18 and my 20th birthday has passed just like that. Tbh I kinda need to die like right after next week maybe because I don't want to pay for tuition and have to work on my thesis and fail all over again but I think I'm gonna put it off again. I haven't had the tool for my method and I don't live alone. Next month will be my birthday. I wonder if somehow I could manage to do it before the year ends.

 

[Nop0int]

I always gave myself until 25. I'm 25 now, so it is just a matter of time

Same for me i'm already 25 and i'm gonna wait a couple months or so, if nothing major happen by then i guess it's time to go.

 

[Lmd]

I gave myself until 25. I'm 27 now so I'm just waiting

 

[Alucard]

Some months, when I'm optimistic.

 

[heatdeath]

I applaud you for making it as far as you did. I wish you a smooth exit when you're ready.

 

[MYStERY_Man]

I don't have a cut-off. I had it 10 years ago, when I was 13. Some day in October I believe. It was probably significant, but I don't remember why. I had self esteem problems back then and escaped suicide because I reasoned it would be well deserved to stay and suffer rather than get the ultimate release. I worked on it, but then apathy took over.

There are some things I want to try, like ayahuasca with a Native American shaman, a stable government job to allow time for hobbies (simracing/music production), maybe recycle some old ideas and put some time into writing a novel or two. We get jobs in the public sector here is by passing a proper exam, so I'm studying for that right now. But I wouldn't delay the bus to reach these things.

Last year I did a partial suspension trial just to see if I could go through with it. It wasn't that bad, so I think I can. Just waiting for a call now.
