How do you know when it is time to die?

[tpboy]

When does the balance swing to ctb outweighs being alive. I believe most people observing my life and being in so much pain and disable would say I am at that point. I know in my mind and heart I am at that point but still I soldier on. Life really has nothing left to offer me. I guess I do it for those I love. Just curious as to what others here feel about knowing when it's time to ctb. How bad does it have to get when you say....I have had enough. I want out.

I believe that only the individual knows when the time is right to leave, in my case only permanent non-existence appeals to me, I see it as always being preferable to not-exist but the inaccessability and risky nature of suicide itself keeps me trapped here. I think if someone manages to access a method that they feel confident in and they have a reliable method plan then I believe it's just waiting for when the time feels right.

When the time comes, you just know. You don't have to ask anybody. Nobody can tell you when you should ctb or if you should. It doesn't matter what other people think about it. It doesn't matter if someone says that if they had your problems they would have already ctb, or if they tell you that they think that your problems aren't that bad, and you are over reacting. Nobody else has your exact problems or knows how they affect you. Nobody else has to live your life.

When the thought of not existing anymore brings comfort and peace.

Probably after running a cost benefit analysis (excluding everyone else, because fuck them compared to you theyre fine) in your head and ending up with stats in the red.
