Discussion Found a method but getting cold feet

[lifewasawillow]

I've found a method I think would work (mix of partial hanging and night night) but I received a piece of news this week that's made me reconsider doing this currently. The thing is I still want to ctb really badly, I just didn't think it would be this soon because I didn't expect this news so soon. Ironic much. Idk it's kinda thrown me off balance and ig I want people's opinions about what to do?

If the piece of news it big enough to make you consider then stop. Deal with it first then continue. Finish up every thing left before leaving

The thing is there's not really much I can do about the news, it's happened now and I can't change anything so there's nothing really left to finish. However this is still the least sure I've been about ctb but my worry is if I keep saying I'm not ready I'll never be ready and never go through with it. I thought the news would make me want to ctb more, like the final straw sort of thing but I kind of just feel numb? Idk I feel like I've just stopped processing stuff and I've become too apathetic to even go through with my method.

Give yourself at least a couple of days to settle down and come to terms with the shock you will have experienced would be my suggestion.
Take as much time as you need, the ctb alternative isn't going to go away whilst you think things through m8.

OK so the news put you on pause. That could be a good thing. Maybe you should do bucket list type stuff while you think?

Unless something proves beyond doubt that it is a better option, always just stick with the default.

I just believe that after all only you know what you should do as it's your life, it's a personal decision. When it comes to ctb, only the individual knows when the time is right. But anyway I wish you the best.
