Discussion Do you want people to know that you committed suicide?

[Patches]

I don't really care, I'll be dead. This world will no longer concern me.

I'm more concerned about how my corpse is found. As in I don't want to traumatize anyone.

My only wish once I'm dead is no funeral, no obituary, no announcement of any kind.

I would be fine with people knowing. I don't feel ashamed of the idea. The only exception would be people very old or, very young. I'd feel happier in a way if people told them a white lie that it was an accident or some sudden illness- if the truth would be very shocking for them. With the younger one- there's only one really- a friend's child that I feel worried about. Not that I've seen them in years but, he's a sensitive child. I guess he would have to find out at some point. Still, it would be up to my friend on what she thought best I suppose.

It's tough for me to think about how anyone would feel about my passing, since that's not my focus. My parents care about me very much and would be devastated, but it doesn't cross my mind when thinking about ending things. I care about the release from existence so much more than how things will turn out after I leave that conceptualizing people's reactions to the mechanics of my death is near impossible. I guess I would want people to know, so they can hopefully get inspired if they were thinking about CTB but I'm spitballing.

I'm not sure now.
it was a yes but unsure how my nieces will feel especially the youngest as she gets older.
Im not ashamed to CTB but that death will devastate my sister more than my brothers.
I just don't know.

 

[Cara7177]

I won't be here to care

Exactly

 

[Chronicoverwhelm]

I'm going to great lengths to keep my closest friends from knowing. I really wouldn't want my dad to know either but I don't think I can control that. My biggest reason is not wanting to hurt people.

I have 2 friends who litteraly try to save my life every day

I want all the people that only contacted me when they needed something, to find out about me when they try and contact me only because they need something.

I feel that.

 

[deedeme]

I wish I could make it look like an accident, that's why I constantly wish to be murdered while I'm outside.

What are the chances? It's very unlikely.

I want that because I think it would be easier to digest and they won't blame me after my death.

Ctb'ing is difficult to pass as an accident, especially since I'm a SS member. Authorities will do 1+1 lol. I'm doomed.

brrr, no
although it's impossible i'd rather just dissolve in the air leaving no memories about me or even my whole presence

If we re asking ourselves such questions we re actually far from suiciding and still very connected to the world here.

Many relate having feelings before ctb with not being ready. I don't think any of us will ever be completely devoid of feelings and fears of several factors when ctb. I don't believe these fears and feelings are because of having doubts and being not ready. We still live in a world where suicide is a tabu subject to talk about in which peaceful methods are made inaccessible.

Guess you ve got a point there. I just know from myself that when I stop asking myself trivial questions I get closer. Once i m gone its so indifferent who knows and what happens etc. These are questions that keep us alive.

Exactly. We're scared of starting a new job, we're scared of having a surgery, we're scared of moving to a new city, we're scared of so maaaany different things that we know are either necessary or good for us. And just because we pay attention to the details and we're scared of so many things that could go wrong, doesn't mean we don't really want it and that we won't do it!

I don't just want them to know, I want them to know exactly why I CTB'd. I don't want any ambiguity or openness to interpretation which could lead anyone to blame the wrong people or things, such as this site. Sure, some still might end up doing that (in which case you all have my permission to point and laugh at them for being idiotic) but hopefully if or when I do CTB there will be no reason for anyone to blame themselves or anyone else except for the proper people or things who ARE responsible for my CTB. Those people will also need to be made aware of it.
