whenever I’m going through something, the thought of ending it soon- that all this will be over…is very, very comforting. Feels really nice and relieving imagining it. Do you guys do that as well?
I bet most of us do. It is very comforting. It gives a sense of control over our lives. When I think about the terrible things that may yet happen to me in future (plenty already have) just knowing I have a way out makes me feel like I will have a solution, come what may.
I am the same way. I know where and I know how. When? My therapist has unraveled most of the past that brought me to the brink of death years ago. But she may not be able to fix the future if it goes south. I keep the means ready.

I agree with everything they said.
yes, i keep my means of exit with me at all times. i know how and where i’d do it, as to when – who knows. and if, is the grandest question.
