To everyone planning to CTB, a discussion about New Years

[NormallyNeurotic]

Just like a lot of people are rushing to get things finished before that clock strike midnight, I know some of you are bound to be in the same mindset. I'm here to remind you that the "symbolism" of CTBing in 2025 or at midnight is not worth risking the potential peacefulness, painlessness, and reliability of your method.

DO NOT spend so much time trying to get things ready that you end up misjudging a height to jump/hang from, or the caliber/aim of a gun, or lord forbid just down a bottle or two of pills. Nothing will change if you take a few days into 2026 to make sure you don't end up paralyzed, or with severe organ/nerve/tendon/brain damage.

This is your sign that it's okay to wait. The symbolism will mean fuck all if you end up stuck in a stuffy hospital hooked up to machines to breathe because you punctured both your lungs by jumping from too low a height and just breaking your ribcage.

Here's your permission to rest, and let yourself think before making a hasty decision.

You'll be okay. 2026 is another year, tomorrow is another day.

Good reminder. Is that omori?

I'd never be okay with something as dreadful and torturous as existence, to suffer in this existence is always an abomination to me, nothing would ever make me okay with being burdened with this existence that just causes harm and suffering with no limit as to how much one can be tortured, I'd just never wish for this torturous existence and every second is painful to be conscious, all I want is peace, I just want all to be gone for me in non-existence, I just always suffer so much from being trapped in this horrific world, it's so horrifying how trying to cease existing can go wrong and lead to way worse torture.

You're welcome! And yup!

I mean yeah, that's my point. Avoiding torture and suffering. A rushed suicide would be torturous and likely lead to a failurr and hospitalization (which to you would be... even more suffering.)

My roommate loves Omori!

I know someone who cbt in the early hours of New Year's Day a long time ago. I think about doing it on this date myself too but they kind of made it so I can never celebrate a new year again. So now I don't want to ruin anyone else's for the rest of their life
