how to say goodbye to people?

[Tionally]

would you even attempt something like that? (I'm not talking about suicide notes - cause you're dead then) is it even possible to get closure and goodbye without the other person finding out that you're about to commit? is there any way to subtly say goodbye?

I don't think that it's possible without causing suspicious reactions. Just saying goodbye out of nowhere? In this case, I would do something that one of my favorite celebrities did; he called those that he loved barely hours/minutes before finishing the job, told them what he's about to do + all those honest goodbyes. Nobody could save him at this very point.

It sounds risky doing that in my opinion, as sadly being too open can lead to one being sent to a psych ward as we exist in this society where suicidal people are punished simply for sharing their honest feelings.

No, it's too risky to say goodbye so suddenly like that. People will become concerned for your safety and there's a high likelihood that you'll be involuntarily put in a psych ward if they catch on to the fact that you plan to ctb in the near future. It's horrible that suicidal people like us have to hide like criminals, since the alternative would be to be punished.

I don't necessarily mean saying goodbye. obviously saying goodbye would be weird and concerning. but I was thinking if there was anything more subtle that could feel somewhat like closure. I guess just spending the day normally with someone wouldn't raise red flags and it would be something

From what I understood, you're referring to changing the way you act by spending more time with those around you, something that you normally wouldn't do as a way to say goodbye?

I think there is a way to say goodbye to certain people without saying the actual word goodbye. Just let them know how much they've impacted you and how you appreciate their presence in your life. Let them know what they mean to you. So you don't have to worry about them not knowing before you go. I don't think you actually need to say goodbye. Just makes it way harder for everyone. Unless you're in a relationship with them. Then I 100% recommend breaking up with them. Amicably of course

This is what I've been doing in the past weeks as I felt my time to leave approaching. I couldn't leave my loved ones without telling them how much I love them and thank them for everything they've done. I was careful enough not to raise concern. You have to find your own way not to look suspicious, but I think it's possible to do it. And I believe it will help them with the grief, to know that you loved them so much that you wanted to show them while still alive. They will be grateful for that, I believe. Or I hope so.

I don't know exactly when I'm going to leave, but I'm trying to let the few I care about know that I do. In my own, fucked up way. Maybe it's not as blatant as it should be. And that makes me sad. I just want them to know that I cared for them

I made some videos for my kids, they may never see them, but I hope one day they understand.

I'm sure they are appreciating it now that you're doing it, and they will appreciate it even more after you're gone.
All my best wishes for you.

I told my family, my ex and my friends about ctb. I dont care. I dont want to act like everything is normal because its not. My friends are sad but i explain that they cant help me. But when i pick a date i dont tell anyone, because i dont want anyone to save me. But everyone have different families and friends so dont tell anyone if you think that someone will call police or hospital.

I would never tell someone that I'm planning to CTB for one simple reason; I would not burden them. Even if they would not try to stop me, others would simply not understand that they knew yet did nothing. Sometimes it best not to know some things.
