I knew my life would always end by my own hand, but really tried hard to keep off that path.
Now I’m just kinda creating a to do list.
My dog is the only thing I kinda worried about, I guess having an ex get attached to him worked out.
I’m American, so best way is by firearm after driving to a remote location where I’m less likely to run into anyone. Most stories I read of people surviving gun shots to the head, were shot in the frontal lobe and where able to get medical help soon enough.
I’m thinking of letters to write. There’s my immediate family, a few friends. I kinda want to write my therapist a letter too. I’ll most likely send all letters through snail mail or an express service to arrive 2 days after I’ve done with copies on my computer. And whatever instructions I can come up with.
I’m not sure what to even write. I’m not angry at any of them, not really. I don’t want them to feel guilty, even for the things the should feel a bit bad about.
I wish I could leave some of my art pieces to them but there all mostly concepts that I barely started and have been unable to finish.

When?
In 2 weeks. There’s a waiting period to take the gun home in California.
When?
Yeah I have same deal I have bought shotgun then was followed home after someone went through all my things while I was asleep (I don’t know if it is illegal to snoop through another’s things) I was going to kill my self when I woke up…..same as you described. I have been praying for death and wishing to end my life for the last 12 years. That was the only opportunity I ever had and they stole it from me
so I haven’t been able to afford a gun since that happened it was the only 400$ I’ve had in 4 years. Every day since I’ve been trying to get another gun as that is the only way I see out of this hell. Then I was arrested leaving me not just jobless homeless friendless familyless
But now carless and unable to drive to search for jobs so I can get the gun
I’m getting a small handgun, to be stored in a saftey deposit box inbetween the time that I get it and the morning of.
The things that have happened to you are awful. People don’t realize that when they deny us this chance of controlling our own deaths they leave us with the option to just waste away. Until we can’t hold a job and no longer afford doctors and therapist, and until everyone has left us as a result of our downward spiral.
I understand suicide at the end of a good honest fight to stay alive. What I don’t get are the letters. Why write letters? You’re going to shoot your brain to mush with a what, .38? And your letters are supposed to explain why? I get it but as a person who lost someone I cared about, shit I was so pissed at him I could not bring myself to look at him at the funeral. You are going to solve your problem. Letters won’t make it easier for those you leave. You’re writing them for yourself.
