One thing my failed 'attempt' the other day taught me/reminded me of was just how fucked up it is that people who wish to ctb(at least the vast majority of us who do not have access to assisted dying/euthanasia) are forced to go through such a scary thing all alone and in fear because of society's messed up attitude towards this issue. The fact we can't even discuss this decision with those closest to us, our therapists or whoever… makes it one of the loneliest feelings in the world
I'm so sorry OP that life has brought you to such a place to make this decision
You are right, the end of someone's life is supposed to be a big deal but instead of saying goodbye to out friends and family we are forced to lie and hide like it is a crime to make a decision regarding one's own life, even if that decision is painful to those around us.
For most people N or even SN is not an option so mist will either take their chances with hanging and the horrible suffering g that method can bring or risk traumatising someone else by jumping in front of a train etc. So what decision are we left with other than to crawl into a metaphorical hole and to die there like animals? It is fucked up beyond measure but unfortunately this is the world we live in.
We were all brought into this world without our consent, so why do we suddenly need consent from other people (which they of course won't give because it would hurt their feelings...) if we want to leave it?
Goddamnit, I wish I hadn't been such a coward when I had the chance to ctb...
