Haha no you're not supposed to feel a certain way about anything - in this case ctbing. I find it quite interesting you're excited. It must make things a whole lot easier right?
I understand your feelings of relief - I feel this way too when I think of dying but I am still afraid. But too be excited - that is truly something. A good something lol.
Maybe it's just been too long since I've had something to look forward to, idk.
I've never been afraid of dying, even before i really decided to CTB, so maybe that's part of it..
I have an appointment to see my doctor on the 23rd, hoping to get a metro prescription, then I will have everything I need.
I decided to wait until after Christmas for my family's sake, although at this point I'm not sure they would notice if I wasn't there.
Now the hardest part is having to wait when the sweet release is sitting right in front of me.
i think that this is because some people fear failing and then dealing with the aftermath of a suicide attempt on top of whatever they been dealing with, it can be an extremely traumatizing experience.
i remember being very calm on the days leading to my first attempt 7 years ago, but now i'm feeling very anxious about it since i have to wait some months and the fact that i can fail only bring back memories of pain and suffering that i had to endure, getting treated like absolute shit by the people who are supposed to help you like psychiatrists and psychologist just feels terrible, then there is the constant surveillance and lost of freedom, not to mention the emotional damage that you put on family members.
but maybe i'll feel extremely calm once i get my method, then off to whatever happens after death.
You're right. I didn't consider the background of those who say they are nervous. I can't imagine what it feels like to have failed because I haven't yet, but unfortunately that is a risk we are all taking when we make our attempts.
I'm sorry you didn't get your peace. ):
