Does anyone else just feel trapped. Like you want to cbt but then it would hurt other people so you may wait till after Christmas? So you don't ruin their christmas. Not sure if that sounds weird. Because if you cbt, you won't know but then I feel responsible for peoples sadness so would just live in misery.

Yes a little but i also think there is never a "right" time to cbt. If i let every holiday, birthday or special occasion be a reason to put it off then I'll never do it. I'm going to cbt in December whether it's Christmas or not it doesn't matter. It will also be around my birthday.

Well it's very sweet of you to think like that. But that is something I don't have to worry about. Ever since I got sick over 14 years ago with the highest ranking pain condition in medical history, my family hasn't been able to celebrate the holidays and we are thankful for nothing anymore and aren't in the Holly and jolly mood. It's just another day to us.
I am avoiding Christmas, because I want to have a last good memory.. I had this thing with my Ex that we will have a special date night every Christmas Eve, no matter what. She doesn't talk to me anymore, will still drop her an invite. Maybe Lady luck shines on me one last te, then proceed to January, and CBT on my birthday.

See I am ready to try again, I wanted to yesterday, but now I wonder if I should wait till after xmas, I don't want to wreck some peoples xmas, but then again I am sick of living how I am now, in fear, in distress, mental pain, and so forth, so I want to go now,
it's a tough place to be in right now for sure

That's the dilemma for me. Like for me do I do it soon and actually do something for me for once or do I let everyones birthday first, even though most people's birthdays are in Jan for me, But than that just prolongs it.

Would it be impossible for you to wait if you could just wait for February or March if you say their birthdays are in January?
My problem is from January till summer someone in my close family have a birthday every month including myself and I can´t do it on my birthday either because I will vividly imagine how my parents will have bought a present for me to give me joy and that present will never be opened by me so I can´t do that. I seriously miss being an emotional teenager who felt so much sadness from depression along with the drive from teenage hormones that I never felt bad about how suicide would affect others.
CTB. "Catch the bus"
Noticed loads of people say it the other way round but I'm a bit of a spelling and grammar Nazi with a virtual red pen (yes I am a sad bastard)
CBT is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - possible slight difference wanting to heal your brain not blow it out

For me I feek stuck between wanting everyone to be happy and wanting certain people to feel sad. For me it's more about the people who support me rather than my parents. They are never there for me. Thinking about being alive in March makes me real sad. My best friend died by suicide in August and I feel rather envious that their pain has ended.

It must give some comfort to have a friend who comitted suicide I know I feel some comfort in knowing 2 friends from my past who died as teenagers because despite not being religious (i actually hate religion) I don´t know what happens after death we will most likely just seize to exist, maybe life is a simulation and maybe I will wake up in the heavenly paradise that was my childhood (what I desperately hope for) but no matter what happens after death if anything it´s comforting to know I have known 2 people in my teens one I used to be very close to who died young so if they went through it so can I, I don´t know if it makes any sense to you.

same Im jealous of everyone dying on here and I tried my last attempt a month ago but failed so worried to fail again then if there is a next time, but more anxiety now that I dont get to rest or have no pain in afterlife if there is one, and that im making a sin doing it, also dont want to hurt my mom but this is really like being in some kind of hell already, last night I was saying I will do it but then "God" decided to show me what real pain is, I got really nauseous and had real bad stomach ache and could not bare it, then I got scared like he showed me what SN might feel like so I chickened out again, Im worried trying new things last attempt was not with SN, I read most ppl try same thing again not a new method.

I didn´t think about this at all I have been so obsessed with not wanting to ruin this time of year for the people I love I didn´t think about myself your post kind of give me a feeling of 'mind blown'
Christmas used to be the most happy and magical time of the year with beautiful thick snow covered landscape (Back when we actually got snow in Denmark in December), every single day in December was filled with so much excitement and magical Christmas feeling I have so many fond memories of Christmas it would really be a good month to kill myself and also eerie and tragic to think a time that used to be the happiest time imaginable would decade later be where I killed myself, to think if I did it on lets say 10th December and think that if I turned back time exactly 17 years I would be my happy joyfull child self who were excited for Christmas i.e the Walking in the footsteps of the past feeling.

I am waiting for other reasons. While you are alive you cannot help but imagine the reaction they will have. It is nice you care to consider them. I lost a friend of mine to suicide on a standard day, so that day is not so standard any more and I will toast to his memory then move on with my day. Polluting a holiday season with that constant reminder though seems kinda cruel to me. Regardless, if they value you, your absence will still be noticed each holiday season beyond it till it fades. The world keeps turning and loss eventually softens as life goes on.

That does make sense to me, that's my thinking also, For me I am not religious however I believe in the after life and reincarnation, so it is a motive for me that my best friend is there as when I go, I can be reunited with him.

I think I will go for a new method, my last attempt was a complete fail as it was a spontaneous and didn't give a thought of if it would actually help me ctb or not.

This is really relatable. I mean I find Christmas really hard as you have to put up with the socialness of Christmas, but the magic of Christmas and Santa and presents was amazing.Now it's the loneliness time of the year I have ever felt.

That is true, everyone else acts like my friends suicide hasn't happened, they have moved on with life and acts like he never existed, so that's what will happen for me to, I mean I haven't forgotten about him and I think about him every day as it was a real shock to me, very unexpected as we were planning the future the last day we spoke.
