End of life plans?

[feels_like_rain]

Wondering if anyone else has their method planned out and ready, but not planning to do it anytime soon?
I know exactly how i want to do it but i also realize i have a lot of living left to do. And i could never leave my mom or my cat.

But if my mom and cat were gone, i'd give life a shot, but i have my method to fall back on.

If i make it to old age and don't die of something stupid before that, i want to go out on my own terms when i feel ready and am still lucid. I don't want to be helpless and shitting my diaper in a nursing home. I want to complete some last things as an old but coherent lady and then peace the fuck out when it's time.

But i also fantasize about doing it now, or very soon. I'm not going to but the thought won't leave my head lately. Just something to occupy my mind i guess, when i have no other escape?

Wondering if anyone else feels the same way, about either of these thoughts.

I want to attempt soon but I'm trying to die responsibly (lol). I have 3 accounts where I need to change the beneficiary to my mom. I want to research what happens to my property when I die. Make a list of all the things that need fixing if someone wants to take over the mortgage and/or sell it.

Prep certain things in case I fail but I screw myself up in the process... That's a big one for me: making sure I've taken certain precautions in case I'm incapacitated for a while.

To answer your question, I have a method ready to go, but I can't stay sober and focused long enough to execute the other stuff. So I likely won't be attempting any time soon.

I've already screwed my life up beyond repair by being reckless and irresponsible. I'm trying not to do that with my death plans.

I'm not looking forward to any of the conditions that old age brings to most of us. Very few escape them. The truth of the matter is that at any time something bad can befall any of us, at any age, right out of the blue, blindsiding us. It may be something so serious, that we won't be able to end our lives on our own terms simply because we are physically unable to do so. If that happens, and we can't do anything about our situation, I guess we will have no say about whether we are in a nursing home, shitting ourselves, with someone wiping our ass (on occasion). No, that would be no good at all. I'm not planning on going in the next couple or few months, but it won't be much longer after that. I know the conditions old age brings for most. I've seen them firsthand. It is absolutely frightening to me to envision that in my life in my situation all alone. I will be leaving well before that, I hope, and I hope nothing befalls me between then and now, whereby I won't be able to carry out my plans. For me, I'm thinking 6 to 8 months on the outside and I should be ready. There's nothing left for me in this world, anyway.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Choosing to remain for even a single purpose, whether someone or something, is a powerful motivator. This is also the reason I haven't yet checked out, despite this world's seemingly endless downward spiral.

All the same, I feel that my mental acuity has declined sharply in recent months. Despite being well under fifty, I fear for my state of mind within the next decade. I also share the sentiment of wanting to retain my dignity and independence, having glimpsed some of the dreadful conditions endured by elderly persons with and without cognitive disorders.

A preference for a peaceful, dignified death on one's own terms versus a humiliating slog through a dismal future.

I haven't even really thought about this, other than I was deciding my funeral songs for the past decade or so.

Yesssss. It really is terrifying. I want to leave while my quality of life is still good, but when general hopelessness is in the near future.
