Why can't I just be brave enough to end things?
There's no point in me being here. Why can't I just do it?

Hi, welcome to the forum. Most people here agree, it's not necessarily brave to ctb when it's not your time. If you have to force it, then either you're not ready to go, or your method is causing doubt.

Many people actually feel at peace when they know it's their time.
For me.... It's fear of failure.... Again
Did you fail multiple times using the same method?

I'm having the same feeling right now. I'm so close but I'm scared. I wish more than anything I could just go to sleep and not wake up but I'm afraid to take my SN.

The sn isn't going anywhere. See how you feel tomorrow or in a couple days. Maybe there is something you want or need to do before you go, and you won't be at peace until you do.

Maybe you are braver than you think, braver than you are giving yourself credit for. I think it is fucking BRAVE to keep staying in a life that makes one so unbearingly sad and despondent. FUCKING BRAVE to get on here, this site and type your mind, your thoughts, your fears. Fucking Brave. You. Are. Fucking. Brave.
You only need to be a little brave once and it is over, no chance to be brave again, yet you choose to keep being FUCKING BRAVE by continuing on. Way to go Bravy Braverson. See your own bravery for the truth it is.

You are brave.

While I appreciate your perspective, I don't see it as brave at all.

Just sheer stupidity when there is literally one simple action that will make everything all better and it's not being taken

Because the mind overrules when people aren't sure. Some people don't want physical death they just want things in their life to stop. It's not about being "brave enough" to end your life it's about willpower. Do you have the will to live and try to change how things are or do you have the will to stop living altogether..

It's not about the why.

Suicide is very difficult after all, if it was easier to leave, I would already be gone. Of course the survival instinct can be determined to keep us suffering and in my case there is the lack of peaceful and reliable way to exit and the fear of failure. I understand how you feel, I also see no point to my life. It can be dreadful when everything is hopeless. I'm sorry you are in this situation. I wish you the best in whatever happens.

Thankyou, for your words.
I just want to go where it is far better for me.
It's would be physically impossible for me to live a happy life. It always has been, but I've tried my best anyway.

There are more possibilities than suicide and the decision making process kicks off. You might end up checking down each road and wonder where it could have led. Maybe more of the same, maybe something better. Some have very few alternatives to choose from so they close down the other roads and head out. That's when I found it easier. Then you have SI and the legitimate fear of executing a method correctly. That's been my experience. Obviously I'm still here so I found something better for a bit. It's a big decision at the end of the day.

You are brave.
I offer apologies if it has appeared I am conferring to actually succeed, or want to succeed in ctb is somehow less brave than choosing to stay. I am not. I am rather more contending that It is Brave to do either. Brave to face an as of yet unknown, which by the way could be worse, or could be grand, or could be any wheres in between is the same Brave to choose to stay in unacceptable known situation that may yet have positive offerings. Pro and Con lists are constantly ticked off within and choices are made accordingly and bravely so for myriad reasonings.
Either way 'we' are winners, either staying or leaving is successful as a collective and as a singularity.
Which is the better prepared for the unknown?
Fear or Confidence?
What makes a Navy Seal?
Go Confident unto the unknown.
If you are not confident, do not go. Staying to find that confidence you alone know you need is not failure, it is Wisdom in your own skills at accessing the situation.
