Would you make a goodbye post or tell anyone? Including here on Sasu.

[ZornTheDreaded]

I've nothing worthwhile to say, no point for me to do so

 

[gunmetalblue11]

I would schedule a message on the mega thread of the method I use, giving brief details of how I did it and that I succeeded. Methodical and to the point. So others can know if advice given is effective.
I won't leave a letter to people IRL. Only make a will so my belongings can be shared to my distant friends. And maybe place post-it stickers on objects to make it easier for distribution. Leave stupid jokes written on them, because that's my humour. And even if, maybe they will, I won't want them to be sad. Or at least maybe manage de make them smile just a bit after I found peace.

I'm planning to leave a very long and detailed video (maybe a cheap external camera, not on my phone) where I describe exactly how and why I killed myself. I don't want anyone to be left with questions, even if they don't like the answers. I think a speech is apt because I want people to hear it in my voice, from my mouth, with the tone I intend. I wouldn't post it online, but I want it to be freely available to anyone who wants the answers.

I'll have to write some smaller notes as well for various people, but mostly I'll just be directing to watch the video. It'll say everything there is to be said about it.

I made a goodbye post. Failed my attempt. Wish I never said a damn thing. I won't be telling anyone irl though, leaves too much room to be stopped.

 

[TwistedNightmares]

No, I wouldn't. I would rather just leave this world quietly.

 

[dearlydeparted44]

I won't. I post here to brace my nerve to do it. Not to make friends or be popular. When I go, no one will notice. And I'm happy about that. I'm just ready to go.

 

[FadingSnowFake]

Just goodbye here and a goodbye note to one person via scheduled email.

 

[claracatchingthebus]

I wouldn't.

It felt too attention seeking, like I was trying to validate my own attempt through the acknowledgement and worry of others before I exit this world when I told the one person I cared for about it; but I think I'll just be gone this time, no real warnings, method thread or anything as I'd rather have people on here remember me in a specific way and forget me the same way, leaving it 'unresolved' on my whereabouts.

I'm wondering if the opinions of others might differ? And why?

i possibly would, just for more information for other people, but also to feel less alone during the process

but i also might not tell anyone

i also don't know when i'll end my life. i would guess it will be within 3 years, but i don't know

my last attempt was an extraordinary lonely horrific experience. i couldn't tell anyone at the time or it would ruin the attempt... i was absolutely miserable, and in so much pain i just wanted it to end any possible way it could.

i still remember that pain and am hesitant to try to build some sort of life i would enjoy while knowing that level of agony exists

but it would be nice if when i attempt next, it's done in a slightly less lonely way

 

[thebayleaf]

i definitely will. something i don't really see people talk about often is how lonely suicide is. you can't tell anyone or they'll stop you, you can't post about it or someone'll call the cops and you can't do it with anyone (unless you're lucky).

it's literally the most important decision you'll ever make in your life and you can't tell a soul. that's always something that's gotten to me.

but luckily i found this site and now i finally have all these wonderful people i can talk to on the big day!! i will 100% be posting a goodbye thread when i ctb and it brings me a lot of comfort knowing i'm gonna have a bunch of supportive people wishing me goodbye and a peaceful rest instead of regular people who would probably just physically restrain me lol.

 

[woodlandcreature]

here maybe? not sure i'd be in the place to be able to write though - i don't think anyone would care either.

 

[YandereMikuMistress]

I wouldn't.

Same, I wouldn't, and if i were i wouldnt indicate that im ctbing just a bye after a casual conversation in chat or just nothing.

 

[$yck]

Yeah, I feel you. I've made one on here. I do feel kinda guilty in it being attention seeking, but It's nice to feel like people care for once. Just trying to make peace any way I can, sorry lol.

 

[TealBunny]

Personally I am, about three people reached out but thats alright. I dont like uncertainty and I dont want anyone to be waiting on me when im already dead, I never liked it when it felt like people would just dissappear and I dont want anyone, especially those I may be close to go through waiting for nothing.

I want to give people at least some time to talk to me if they want to, even if i feel like any relationships I've had are practically gone. I've been accused of suicide baiting/attention seeking before, i want to prove to others and myself that im not doing it for that, I want to show im strong ebough to go through with it

 

[monetpompo]

worried about being the kind of person that posts a big goodbye thread and everyone makes the effort to say nice things to me, then i'm still alive the next day because i couldn't do it or got sent to the hospital instead. i think that i'd want to crawl into a hole from the embarrassment, even if i don't feel that way towards people that survived their previous attempts or backed down from them. i just feel too nervous about the idea of wasting everybody's time. i'll only make a goodbye thread when i plan on leaving the site, since i'll probably become inactive when i have more concrete plans to ctb. spending too much time on here makes me prone to deliberating, since everyone on here overanalyzes things so much lol

 

[Lamentice]

No I wouldn't.

In the past I did tell someone before an attempt: I wrote an email to them and then scheduled for it to send after I thought I would be dead, my attempt failed & I forgot about the email after the intensity of the night, I woke up the next morning to one of the most humiliating moments of my life.

 

[yourmmomisabbitch]

in my opinion this is all a hallucination anyway.. theres no point saying goodbye when this world stops existing as soon as i do

 

[terribleguy]

I really don't think I would.

To me it just seems like an opportunity for something to go wrong. I have thought about calling my ex of 6 years in my final moment, just to talk for 5 minutes- but i fear it would make her feel guilty for the rest of her life, knowing that i CTB right after that phone call. Selfishly though, it is something i am still considering- I don't know what I would say, she wouldn't want to talk to me in the first place so it'd be hard.

Ultimately, if I was going to call, I wouldn't mention the plan or anything, I'd just ask her how she's been, if she hangs up then that's that. I wouldn't try calling again.
