What specifically are you afraid of? Are you attempting sober?

I think my biggest fear is death itself but its also hard to think about how my family and friends will react.

consider not acting in the moment. Be sure after careful reflection what's right for you. Reflect in several states of mind many times. Then if it's right, plan. Bcuz, Failing to plan is planning to fail.

Making a plan just makes the fear worse.

Hey, I know it seems like it would make the fear worse if you plan something. But if you go through with this, there is a chance you survive in extreme pain. It will just prolong the suffering. Please please please just reconsider this. You dont deserve any more pain then you already have.

I worry about this sort of thing, too. Specifically being too afraid to follow through, because I know if I don't, I probably won't try again. Maybe ever. And the resignation of returning to a life I thought I was done with is almost too much for me to bear. I know the kind of person I am, and I don't want to blow up my already shitty life on the off chance I decide to keep living.

Taking the time to plan ahead is scary, but it also prevents you from going through the ups and downs of attempting and pulling away at the last second. That's my inexperienced opinion, because I've never actually attempted before.

Taking that time would give you clarity both on your circumstances and on your reasoning. And, really, what's scarier-- thinking things through ahead of time or facing all that fear all at once the moment you're ready to ctb? I'd argue its the latter, but that's just me.

I'm wishing you well.

That's a sensible well reasoned response. I can see the sense in all you say.
