I’ve come to realize setting a date may be ‘counterproductive’
how many of you/us have set a date, only to found (y)ourselves thinking: “I’m going to stay a little longer, even if I …”
doubt-based thoughts start to make their way through your mind
sometimes, you aren’t really in the mood for killing yourself at set date
it’s like, you’re more likely to make an attempt IF you catch your mind off guard (= follow an impulse, your intuition)
every time I tried to kill myself, I hadn’t planned to do it that day
what about y’all ?

I set a date which has a lot of significance- the anniversary of the worse day of my life! I will be in a bad state regardless. If I can’t carry it out on that day, then I guess it just means I don’t really want to die.
Ive responded to various people who make posts about setting a date to point out how pointless it is. 1 its being dramatic. If you really wanted to die youd do it, you wouldnt tell everyone youre gonna kill yourself in a week or a month. 2 it creates a false sense of security. Every day leading up to that date, no matter how terrible you feel, youre able to tell yourself youre gonna do it on the 12th or the 30th and that keeps you going. And 3the you know damn well you arent going to do it anyway, so cut the drama, figure out a different way to express how sad you are than threatening that youre gonna kill yourself 8in days or 86the weeks from now.
For me setting a date makes sense.
Want to be as emotionless as possible.
Mainly so failure is not an option.
My previous attempts were impulsive failures.
For those who are not ready it may be counterproductive.
For others , right on target.
@Owen: how do you intend to leave this world ? (if I’m not being intrusive)

I really wish I had a firearm, I don’t have the $ nor connects to get one atm
only suicide with a firearm or jumping in front of a train seem to have a 90% death rate
* correction: 50% for a firearm
Well truthbetold I originally planned for a combination ******** mask while using the detergent method as a backup in my vehicle.
Upon finding out the actual amount of my investments, I’ll probably fly to some high mountain range in a cold environment, climb it ropeless, and go to sleep in the snow or jump off.
I as most people know have a date set, by the way only i know the actual date.. Friends and family have no idea. Now the date in my head has been set for a year.. Its been roughly drafted for 10 years. Its on the promise that if things dont get better it will happen, but also like people havevmentioned if it goes ahead failure is not an option, it will be perfect. Everytime i have attempted suicide it has been a rash decision which resulted in failure… The one time i did succeed when my heart stopped i was ressucitsted, that was pure unlucky though.
If i can get past this date, i can do anything. 🙂
