Anyone else want to CTB on their birthday?

[Catching_the_bus]

It might just be me but for some reason the idea of leaving this hell on the anniversary of entering this hell is almost like closure… maybe I'm just that mentally fucked up… but my birthday is coming up and the urge to have my CTB date match my Birth date is strong…

I think just like anyone in the process of dying closure is important. Saying the dying process is a lot to take in is the understatement of the century. Whatever makes you feel more at peace or "right" doesn't make you "mentally fucked up" it's human to want your emotions to feel right.

I won't go exactly on my birthday because I still have people that care about me and might give me attention on my birthday, but I plan to go within the week following. For me, it's more the milestone of hitting 30, combined with a lifelong dislike of my birthday.

 

[Fl4u]

I would have gone, or well, considered going on my 17th and 18th birthday consectively, but that was before I discovered this forum and actual methods...

 

[ThisIsLife]

It doesn't mean you're mentally fucked up, but it's symbolic enough to kind of betray some desire to not be forgotten, in a way, since family and the people close to you who care about your birthday are the only ones supposed to associate both dates when you're gone.

 

[FuneralCry]

I've always liked the sound of finally leaving this world on the day in which I was cruelly brought into existence but I doubt that I would stick to a date set in advance if I had a method plan that I feel confident in. But I hate what birthdays represent which is another year spent trapped here so it certainly would be a great day for me to return to nonexistence where everything will finally be forgotten about.

mine is coming up soon and while i would like to die on that day, it's illogical as a lot of attention will be held on me. i need time and space to succeed

Yeah exact same here. I want to go like, the next day, or as soon as the attention fades away.

 

[JJMaynard97]

I do. Well I'd rather go before then, it'll be a horrible day for me, another year that I've been a fuck up!

 

[Raven2]

Birthday would be symbolic definitely but probably too much of a risk of being found by someone coming in and wishing me happy birthday. So maybe a few days after

 

[CentreMid]

Yeah, I've thought about that. It's a bit symbolic in a way. But I suppose any day is just as good to do it haha

 

[tams]

Anytime before my birthday, if I am still alive by my next birthday, it will just be further reassurance of failure.

 

[Das Nichts]

I was thinking about this myself recently. If ctb aligns with your birthday the ones left behind would
only have one calendar day where they are reminded of this.

But this is probably just mental gymnastics, they will be in sorrow for quite some time.
It's also very symbolic and I personally would like my ctb to rational and as unemotional
as can be.

New Year's Eve and birthdays are the time for self-reflection.

I think every sane person over the age of 25 is suicidal on their birthday. In any case,
he should be if he objectively assesses his future correctly.

However, I consider my birthday to be irrelevant when it comes to basing my suicide on it.
For me, April 28th has a much deeper meaning in my life and that's why I scale to it.

 

[no longer human]

I have thought about it, and the symbolism would be nice, plus to me personally it would look nice on a gravestone if the dates matched up.

However realistically I would probably prefer to do it a day later or within that week

 

[aimless_arrow]

My birthday was two days ago (21 April) so I was thinking about this too. Perhaps if I died on my birthday, my mom and partner wouldn't have to be reminded of me on both my birth and death days. Hopefully it makes the grief less painful.

 

[WaitingToGo]

I was thinking about on my birthday but that's in November And too far away, So instead I'm planning to ctb on the exact date and as close to the time as possible when my partner passed away from cancer. 28th July 10:05am. Unless that bastard SI stops me
