I backed out. I'm sorry guys. I don't think I can actually do this. Not sure if this is an option anymore.

That's OK. A lot of people back out, either temporarily or permanently. Take your time. Give yourself a few days, and then start thinking about what happens next. Whatever you decide, we are all here for you if you need us.
What kind of gun were you planning to use? It always worries me if someone plans to ctb with a handgun, because there is a much greater chance of injuring yourself badly and not dying. A shotgun or rifle is probably more reliable. It's also very important that you know precisely where to aim.

Thank you, I appreciate it. I was using a handgun. A remington rp9.

No need to apologize to anyone for not killing yourself. This isn't a race, there's no one holding a trophy at the finish line.
If you ever question your motivations at any point then the best course of action is to give yourself some time to think over that questioning you are doing. There's no easy answer but there's also no absolute right or wrong here. There's just life in between.
If you're feeling like you need someone to talk to we're here for you. Not to solve your problems or to give you answers but to just let you talk things out with yourself. There's no weakness here in my mind only confusion and confusion isn't anything to be ashamed or embarrassed about. You do whatever you need to do to. Spend as much time as you need in between.

If you do try again, I would strongly suggest you get a shotgun or a rifle. (If the latter, hollow point ammo might be a good idea.) And you must read up on where to aim. (See the various threads on this site that cover the topic.) This is one method that you definitely can't afford to mess up.
How did you get to this point?

Yes, that's the right way to aim.
I don't want to pry, but if you feel you want to elaborate on your situation there are people here who might be able to make some helpful suggestions.

That's okay, it's incredibly difficult to ctb. Maybe it wasn't your time yet, best to back out than going and feeling regretful.
I'm glad you're still with us
Hope everything works out and that you will be in eternal peace. Just in case you don't feel ready, we are here for you, you can always talk to, us so you're not alone.
Wishing you well

I confess I'm glad you're still here!
You don't have to do anything now. You already have a reliable, painless and fast method!
There's no need to rush.
You're in control of your death!
If I had a gun, I'd live in peace and quiet, knowing that I can leave at any moment, painlessly and quickly. Chances are I'd live for a good few years yet.
But even if you give up doing that, rest assured, death will find us one day anyway, and very quickly.
Glad I didn't miss the chance to say Hi & good wishes, AstroV. Go now, go later or don't go at all; the choice is always yours and you know we wish you well.

It's not easy. It's not a race. I know I'm not ready either.
May the experience guide you in some way. It could be just the fear or some other things you could try and resolve.
No rush! You're facing a possibly eternal unknown. It's the most momentous thing any of us can face and you are staring it down. You are more courageous than many humans by looking that inevitability in the eyes now, instead of blanketing yourself in distractions till the last moment of despair that will spring itself unto all the 'mentally healthy' humans despite their denialism.
There's a comfort in knowing you've got at least one option, and you can work on securing more.

Don't worry, it's okay to back out. Sleep on it and maybe your mind will get clearer.

I wasn't online when you first posted but read through and saw your update.
No shame in not being ready, as others have said. Thinking of you and hoping you're doing ok, and remember the forum will be here for you whenever you feel like reaching out. Take care AstroV. Hugs.

Not to sound like a pro-lifer, but if you had any second thoughts, im glad you backed out. Maybe theres something still here for you. In any sense, I hope you dont get too down on yourself for this. The bus can pick us up and drop us off at our own pace. Much love, Astro
