Hi guys,

Quick intro/background on me. I'm a 39yr old male, from Brighton UK. I've had a very varied life. I went to 12 schools growing up as my mum moved with her job, my father was absent for most of my upbringing. At 27 I lost my mum to cancer, just before that my step father commited suicide and a couple years later my gran passed to dementia. I've had 4 serious relationships, all of which ended it with me. The last 2 of them cheated on me before ending it. Last year I was diagnosed with ASD. I've had depression therapy twice and been on meds but now I'm just raw dogging my depression. That brings you up to date.

Since my mum's passing I've been toying with the idea of suicide, each time something negative happens to me the feeling gets stronger. I've no desire to have children and I believe this world already passed saving. Humans have destroyed the planet and the governments have destroyed humanity. When my last relationship ended, I made my first suicide attempt. But I just couldn't see it through. Purely based on the fact that I haven't done a lot of things I want to do. I love travel, it's the one thing that gives me life and I've seen 23 countries so far. So I came up with this long term suicide plan. To work my ass off until September this year. At which point I will go travel with whatever money I have left. When the money starts to run out, then I will end my life. I've lost all hope on a relationship as I want old fashioned love, as I said before, I also have no desire to have children. I don't want to grow old and with all the control we have on our lives, ending my life is the one thing I feel I have control over. I've always been an emo/goth with a love for the darker side. So it's been very easy for me to come to this conclusion. I've spoken about this with one friend who said I was "overreacting". Am I crazy for having this plan?

You are not crazy at all for this plan. It gives you time to experience life one last bit. It also gives you time to think and reflect on your decision. Mad respect to you.

I honestly think it's a great plan if you are set on CTB. Do what you enjoy for the last time before you go. You get to leave the world as a happy man, knowing you completed the last thing available that fills your cup. I also admire that you've thought this out well and aren't going out on impulse.

My only concern would be if you spend all your money and then decide not to CTB which would leave you destitute. I would be sure that you're really truly ready to go before spending all your funds just to protect you from that.

Appreciate the reply, that's my exact thinking. I'm 90% sure I want to CTB, I can't see a positive future and this world gets me down so much. A few months of travel before I go is what I need before I join my mom.

Thank you for replying, no I didn't want to act on impulse. My first attempt was an impulse and through the tears I stopped myself.

This way I get to see more of the world. In regards to your comment about what if I decide not too. I have a small fund put aside for that instance, if not used, will go to my ex's son instead.

You're not crazy, this world is. It's all fucked. Sounds like a well thought out plan, try having the last country you visit be one where it's easy to get access to easy/painless CTB methods. Go out in a blaze of glory, do things you wouldn't have done before. Party like it's the end of the world (kind of is). Hope you travel tons!

You sound quite sane to me (but maybe I'm crazy? lol).
I don't think that spending every penny is the most prudent strategy. What if you don't successfully ctb? You may need some funds.
What is your chosen method to ctb? 🤗🌹💔

I've not thought that part through completely yet, I was thinking of CO2 poisoning but there's a pretty high survival rate. It feels like the most painless methods are the scary methods.

Still not come to a decision on that, I was thinking a form of poison, maybe a concoction of drugs?

That's it, I feel like I'm far too aware of the world and it's atrocities. Not to mention the pain I've been though burying loved ones and having failed relationships. I'm sure we can all relate to this. Ignorance really is bliss

So I'm keeping a small amount to one side, enough for a return flight, 2 months rent and a little extra. On the small chance it either goes wrong or I change my mind. That fund will be left to my ex's son if I'm successful
