Discussion How long do you think it'll take for people to find out you ctb?

[Cyber4ngel!]

Does anyone ever wonder how long it will take until everyone you know finds out that you CTB? Like, if I'm at home when I do it, my brother will probably find me after a day or two at most. Maybe I would write to my best friend and my partner before doing it, but idk how long would it take for people I'm not that close with like friends I don't really talk to much or distant family to find out.. when my mother committed CTB my father called all of her friends and such but i don't have that bc no one really knows who I talk to

How long do you think it would take for you?

Srry for bad English

1 week

I think with a lot of online acquaintances probably never.

I think with a lot of online acquaintances probably never.

That's what I was thinking too, and I'm also known to ghost people for months when I'm depressed so I don't think they would even be worried

 

[Qevyn]

I hate that too many of my family members know. I also hate they also know about my drinking problem too. I don't really have a drinking problem, IMO, I drink to punish myself/not think for a while/ a form of slow CTB.

 

[username12345]

it depends where. Anywhere from 12 hours to a month.

 

[justkatie]

Probably two days. My housemate very much just let's me have my own space but would be worried after two days.

 

[null_blank]

It would probably be suspected in less than 18 hours but I did it right I wouldn't be recovered for a much longer time, if at all.

 

[LibbyR]

I think it would depend when and where and your personal circumstances.

 

[BlackMoon]

Not more than 12 hours.

I am pretty much the same but I met up with my brother earlier this year and all but told him but it either went over his head (We were in the pub) or he chose to ignore it.
I am likey to go aboard somewhere warm to do it so I think the FCO will get lumbered with the task

at most a day

 

[cryptoinvestor]

months, i have my own apartment and sometimes go no contact with my family after arguments. but i have very nosey neighbours and a doorman who watches the security cameras like a hawk who might call my landlord if I'm not seen out for an extended time period

 

[freakshow]

excluding my family no one even knows I exist lol, and besides my mother, my stepbrother and stepfather wont even care, they prob want me to do it

 

[locked*n*loaded]

5 or 6 days if everything goes right. If not, it'll be much longer, probably after my mailbox starts overflowing and the mail carrier reports it. Or, whenever I start stinking and my neighbor notices the odor.

 

[Danby]

Good question. My family would probably notice me missing after a couple hours, and when I didn't answer my cell phone they'd probably track it. I won't have it on me when I ctb; most likely leave it in my truck then wander off into the woods to pull the trigger.

 

[ceriseange♡]

If it's later in the week, I genuinely don't think people would realize at least for a few days. I'm not very good at actively texting / communicating (I tend to forget to reply as well) so I don't think anyone would really worry. Online friends maybe, but even then...I really don't think they'd know if that makes any sense? I think about it a lot honestly

 

[OfficialBioPen]

I live with my closest friend, and given my horrendous insomnia, odds are that they wonder where I am in the evening time. It's something I try not to think about, cause you can imagine that pain.

 

[suicidaltransgirl]

If I choose to jump from a high place, I will call the authorities right before, so in that case almost immediately. If I do it inside my apartment, probably a week or 2. One of my friends knows I'm suicidal and messages me fairly regularly - I'm sure he would suspect it if I didn't respond to his messages after a while.

 

[Emeralds]

Not very long. My immediate family and close friends would know within a day. More distant relatives Iprobably a couple of days at the most.

 

[Wackstar]

A couple hours since I live w family. it'll suck for them but I'm still trying to find a way to let them know they couldn't have done anything to prevent it, can't leave a Note as suicide is demonized in my culture. if they thought my decision was impulsive it might soften the blow for them.

When it comes to friends they might as well already think I'm dead, it's been months since I've been in contact with anyone.

 

[dimgobaith]

A few hours to a couple of days

 

[fatladysings]

I have a plan to ensure that my cousin finds me before I start to smell too bad. This is important to me, I don't want to end up stinking the house out.

I live in Northern Ireland. I will write a letter to my brother, who lives in England. This letter will be sent on a Saturday afternoon and will be posted special delivery. I will then go home and start ctb attempts. The letter will arrive at my brother's house before 1pm on the Monday. My brother will arrive home from work about 7pm on the Monday, will read my ctb letter, and will phone my cousin, who lives in Northern Ireland, to come and find me. So I die on a Saturday or Sunday and get found on the Monday.

If I manage to get some SN, I might abandon the above plan and just book a room in a hotel instead. Then I'll be found by a hotel worker before I start to smell.

 

[Trav1989]

Not more than 12 hours.

Yeah, It would be surprising if I wasn't found within 5-6 hours TOPS unless I did it during the night in which I could see not being found for around 12 hours. It would certainly take at least 2-3 hours though because I tend to not answer my phone or read messages until I'm in the mood to do so. Life is too crazy to spend more time on my phone than I have to.

 

[Sgrodolo]

I'm at UNI so my parents won't immediately find out, and my roommates aren't the most social people so I guess 1-2 days for my father to notice I haven't been online on Whatsapp and don't answer his calls, after that it's just a matter of how long it takes for the police to find out I'm dead

 

[ijustwishtodie]

A few hours at best. I'm being spied on by my parents and I'm unable to do leave the house on my own but, even if I did somehow manage to sneak out, my mum would get concerned immediately as she notices that I've gone missing and would call the police asap

 

[hopeless302]

probably a couple of hours if I time it right. Though I am considering finding a quiet place to die to spare my loved ones from discovering me dead.
