Does anyone ever CTB on this site?

[tpboy]

I know they do. I also know that it is a very difficult thing to do. Often times i read these posts and goodbye threads stating that a firm time and date has been set. Then i begin to feel emotions to loosing a member only to check their profile and they are still online days after the CBT date. IDK.

It's impossible to know for sure without outside confirmation as in the case of @toofargone6969 and @avaruus.

family could log into the account or they just failed the attempt and feel embarrassed to admit it after saying goodbye

I don't think it's really any of our business if other people ctb or not, that's their personal decision, other people deserve privacy. And anyway everyone will die someday whether it's on their own terms or not, that's inevitable.

Suicide attempts fail a lot more than they succeed, for all kinds of reasons. So it's not unexpected for someone to post a goodbye thread and then still be alive and active on this site a few days later.

It's better for someone to post a goodbye thread and not actually CTB than say nothing for fear of their attempt not working. Sometimes a goodbye thread is the only 'note' people leave, or is the only place where they can say goodbye and be met with understanding and compassion rather than judgement.

I have seen many members genuinely CTB

Agreed, the amount of courage it takes to even have a gb thread, detail the method being used and how it'll be used takes a lot. I have no doubt members have ctb that we will never know about more than the ones we know of.

Embarrassment shouldn't be too much of a factor considering how people have failed methods before in the past and shared their experiences for others who are considering using the same method to know about. This is a forum that openly encourages that so there's no reason for one to feel embarrassed by their failure.

For me i have cried my eyes out thinking that someone is gone only to learn they were not only to repeat the cycle.

 

[SVEN]

I believe they do.

Some do, but it's often hard/impossible to know if someone passed away or failed their attempt after they've posted a goodbye thread.

I do not totally agree. If and win i write a goodbye letter or tell everyone i have a firm date close at hand there will be about a 99 percent chance it will happen and be a success. I do not want people thinking i am dead only to come back to life. Not that anyone cares but you never know.

I think many have. Very occassionally, people compile lists. Personally- I think that's unwise though. The site is under enough scrutiny and criticism as it is. To link actual deaths with it I think is just giving people ammunition.

Again though- how many of those were confimed is probably not accurate. It's only when a news article is written and people can form the links or occassionally even relatives have come on that we know for sure.

I know for sure Neemva is gone.

 

[UKscotty]

I'm not sure, I think a lot of people see those of us with 6+ months on here as some kind of frauds or nut jobs.

I'm just starting to think I need a new account or something, as being here a few years makes me lose any credibility at all.

 

[Meditation guide]

I think I know what you mean OP. I see many goodbye threads and the person is still here afterwards alive and well. It's a good thing when no one actually does ctb after a goodbye thread so all we can do is rejoice they are still with us.

There are members who never logged in again or post again after making a goodbye thread. It's none of our business really. Following through with plans can be difficult. I think occasionally people fake them or have no intention to ctb.

To me it seems a little like a breach of contract. I guess that is just my military training.

 

[Schaf]

There is a post about someone who took SN and their friend from SS mentioned what they saw through their online interation at the very moment, so yeah

 

[femmedelaville]

I've wondered the same thing myself, but judging by certain people who were friends with them I think there definitely has been successful endeavors

 

[Silent Raindrops]

There have been a few that came here and ctb. It really threw this site into the limelight and ended up being on the news. Especially after a female user ctb and left her phone on with this site opened. She did it while interacting with users here.

I'm sure that some do, though in the nature of things it's not possible to get confirmation (except in the rare cases where confirmation comes from sources outside this site).

I know for sure Neemva is gone.

:,) I miss them
