How do you guys deal with things like going to work/school, dieting, brushing your teeth, etc

[KatalinaKrimson]

It's a weird situation because there are certain activities that I would have no reason to do, like going to work, if I knew that I was going to be successful in my suicide attempt within, I don't know, a week or so.

BUT, these same activities are also things that would make my life significantly worse if I went without doing them for like a week or two before eventually failing in my suicide attempt.

And thus, I continue to do a bunch of "maintenance" type habits and activities while I'm planning to kill myself. Can anybody else relate to this?

I don't always consciously think about this, but yeah, it always feels a little absurd to keep up with regular routine things. I think personally I'm primarily motivated by immediate feelings of fear. The idea of dealing with certain consequences can be enough to get me to do things, I hardly ever do anything out of desire unless I'm intoxicated lol. Maintaining communications, brushing my teeth, and eating are the most difficult recurring tasks for me.

I just push myself I'm not depressed to be fair but deeply frustrated and extremely dreadful about my horrible vile life. I just push myself to my limit and get exhausted, cry, zone out and visualise beautiful suicide.

you really don't ever 100% know for certain how long you are going to end up living.. last month i had planned to CTB (H2S method) and then i got super scared and realized i'm too scared to CTB even though it is a very easy method i was going to use.. so i'm not sure what to do now..

but you definitely need to keep brushing your teeth like twice a day (when you wake up and before you go to bed).. tooth pain from cavities is one of the worst pains in my opinion.. and dentists are scary..
