Before you leave, are you writing a letter or sending a note?
Are you calling your friends/family one last time?
What will you say?

If you want to donate, we have a thread with updated donation options here at this link: About Donations
I really do not know? I think it could go either way. I believe I will let a few people know about it though, all along the way.Before you leave, are you writing a letter or sending a note?

Same!I plan to have a note but I won't contact anyone around when I do it. Too risky and I wouldn't want anyone to think they could've helped or changed my mind. Plus I know I'll be pretty emotional and it will set off red flags for sure.
i was thinking about destroying my laptop and phones. i def want to. do you know of a good resource with directions on how to do so?No IRL goodbyes of any form, it's far too risky. Just spend some time with a few friends and those I respect, in the leading months toward the end. No letters, they'll just be profoundly misunderstood. My parents in particular can stew in the inevitable questioning - fuck knows they've earned it. Will have to find a suitable internet "hot-spot" for the usual goodbyes here. (Will also have to do a test run ahead of time and ensure this site isn't blocked on that wi-fi)
Just prior to thoroughly destroying my laptop and phone before checking out, my ex will receive a copied-and-pasted pre-written message through her farcebook account - something I'm under the impression she rarely uses, thus it should allow me a safe window of time, before she reads it. Not to say goodbye, but she's owed a couple of apologies for the way I behaved after we ended - and more importantly, she needs to know that what happened between us so many years ago, has nothing to do with, well, what she'll eventually hear about having happened..
You can take out the hard drive and take it to a disk shredder. With the phone sell it on Craigslist list for bargain or destroy it by throwing it in lake or sea.i was thinking about destroying my laptop and phones. i def want to. do you know of a good resource with directions on how to do so?
ok thank you so much!You can take out the hard drive and take it to a disk shredder. With the phone sell it on Craigslist list for bargain or destroy it by throwing it in lake or sea.
My laptop's hard drive is encrypted. I have to enter a password before I start it. No one who doesn't know the password can know what is on the hard drive. But after I die people will be able to erase the data to install whatever they want on the computer. I decided my hard drive would be encrypted when I installed the operating system, the procedure was fairly straight-forward. However, I've never looked into how it works to encrypt the data on the whole hard drive if you have already installed the operating system so I don't know if it is more complicated in that case. Anyway, full-disk encryption may be a solution worth considering.i was thinking about destroying my laptop and phones. i def want to. do you know of a good resource with directions on how to do so?
Thank you so much for that info. At this point, it's probably easiest for me to shred the hard drive. What do you think?My laptop's hard drive is encrypted.

I thought about videos...but do you think that may make things harder for those left behind?Goodbye letters and scheduled e-mails.
Also, if I'm in a really good mood, I'll even record some videos for my family and few friends left.
harder i thinkI thought about videos...but do you think that may make things harder for those left behind?
Yeah, videos will make things harder but at the same time people who love you might find great to be able to "see you alive again" with a proper goodbye. I even thought about making some jokes in a video so as to show them how happy I am because of CTB.I thought about videos...but do you think that may make things harder for those left behind?
