Discussion Anyone else deleting their devices/trashing their journals/sketchbook before ctb?

[Tac0Johnz]

I'm currently deleting all my emails, old social media accounts, my bookmarks, other digital stuff and I'm gonna probably trash all my old artwork too. One thing I don't want to happen when I leave this world is my family snooping through my emails, texts, and looking at my cringey artwork. Unless they want to see my spam emails for free coupons/robux or drawings of anime wolves with swords on their back, they won't find anything of importance. :/
Im also gonna lock or delete my ps and xbox accounts (seriously I don't want them messaging my friends who I'm not close too tht I ctb). Bonus I'm also saving them the trouble of cleaning my data so they can sell or give away my consoles and phone. (I'm only gonna save a few drawings and maybe leave a digital note.) I mean idc if the cops do it but not my family :|

Yep. That stuff is none of anyone's business but mine.

One of the reasons I've been holding off on CTB is I need to delete the embarassing files off of an old computer, but right now it's broken so I can't access it. scared of my family fixing it and going through it afterwards. I know I won't be around to see their reaction but just, ugh.

That is part of my exit plans, yes.

Feels kind of weird to have to do it though but I'll have to at some point.

Sometimes I get the thought "yeah I should definitely do a clean sweep and wipe everything". There's nothing "bad" anyone would find. There would be a lot of embarrassment if cops/roomates/my family had free range access to my journals and youtube/google search history. Idk maybe it'd be good. They could truly see how lonely of a loser I actually am. Maybe it would make sense to them then. I have a CTB note that is over 7000 words that I wrote months ago. I've been adding and editing it here and there as I felt needed. Recently though I've just been too depressed or lazy or I don't even know why, but I can't even bring myself to gaf enough to even open it up again and update it. I journal a lot. Little notes in my phone. I don't write on paper much out of paranoia of people stumbling upon it. 90% of what I write is literally just about how I hate myself and fail over and over. It's kind of why I don't journal as much now. Feels exhausting and emotionally taxing to be so vulnerable with yourself in writing I guess.

I'm clearing my history for sure. It's bad enough I'm going to off myself, I don't need my family to know I've been on a suicide forum for over half a decade.

 

[sukiduki]

i'm planning on leaving email, social media, etc in case people want access to their photos and memories (leaving the passwords to a trusted person).. but personal journal entries i'm deleting or throwing away physical journals right before

That is very thorough and considerate of you. I don't have the energy to do much of that. In the end I don't think it matters much. I don't think I'll be looking down after I die thinking, I wish I'd done that, I just don't think I'll be looking down, period, but that's just my belief.

 

[BornByGhosts]

nah not gonna bother

realistically nobody's gonna care enough for it to matter

 

[destinationlosangel]

As long as we have the passwords to ourselves, why even bother?

I've got snoops and law enforcement around me, so I'll be covering my tracks as best as I can mostly for the purpose of not hurting anyone else. I can't do anything about what's in cloud storage or held with a telecom, but my local stuff will be well wiped. Most of my cloud stuff is held in Switzerland, so idk they've got a reputation I guess.
