How can you ve 100% sure?

[rs929]

I have recurrent depression and I think about CTBing a lot.
I remember thinking that making myself ingest some poison that will make my blood brownish is kind of a cruel thing to do, when I was in remission.
But when I'm pain, I feel desperate and I think of CTBing as something compassionate to myself
However, some moments I think I can't be sure 100% what the future holds for me. Maybe, just maybe, there's a slight chance for things to get better, a new revolutionary treatment for depression or something, or miracously meeting someone who will love me. I can't know for SURE that there's nothing worth living for, I know its VERY LIKELY that my life will not improve though
Does this mean that I'm not ready to CTB? Do people who CTB have a 99.9999% final decision made up in their minds?

Most people who ctb do it on impulse they don't plan anything out

You can't be 100% sure that some day you won't be hit by a truck on a road and become a paralyzed potato. People tend to ignore small chances as if they were non-existing when the benefits from taking the risks are appealing enough.

While yes things could get better, things could get worse or stay the same. I would rather not take that risk and just ctb even if there is doubt (which I do have some) as I can't regret killing myself after dying if I am in nothingness and so can't feel or want anything so I am 100% sure I want this with my logical reasoning even if some of my emotions disagree with it. If I did an attempt that I stopped in the middle of, I would later regret with not fully going through with it.

im very impulsive and tbh i can relate to this. any time i attempted it was out of impulse and i cant relate to ppl who are 100 percent sure...sometimes when the sun shines right, my brain is a bit nice and my friends are around i believe there might be hope that things get better but...idk..i feel like i will regret not doing it now, yk? but idk. its so hard to be sure

Not only is it impossible to be sure that things won't improve, by my account you have a lot of agency over it. I'm generally less likely supportive of suicides motivated by a well defined set of external circumstances in comparison to suicides motivated by a more abstract rejection of existence. Of course, it should still be left up to the individual to choose.

No one is 100% sure, its in our nature to survive and escape dangers.

true but they also usually fail
