Today's the day I've been planning for. I've chickened out every other time so I might do so again, but I'm going to go to the bridge and see if I can get myself to do it.

It's kinda sad, my mom was talking to me about things to do with my dog this weekend. She has no clue. Even though I feel like I've shut down completely.

Leaving for "the bar" (i.e. bridge) at 10pm Eastern, may send updates.

please dont see the other times as a fail. there might be something you want to do before leaving for good, even if you cant grasp it at this point. a proper goodbye perhaps.
maybe im totally off but either way i wish you all the best.

I'm a jumper as well. I hope whatever you decide that it goes well. If you "chicken out" again we'll still be here. SI for jumping is a tough one. Many of us have to attempt multiple times before we go through with it. Good luck my friend.

yes I was excited to see you in my alerts lol! The comradery of fellow jumpers!

I so badly wish we could ask the people who did it how they managed. I might get a Long Island Iced Tea before. Either that or just think about all the wrongs* done to me lately and how badly I've wanted this.

*not the best word because I probably deserved them

I am definitely drinking before hand. I am starting to really disassociate, so hopefully I can convince myself it is just a dream and I'm jumping to wake myself up. I will follow along tonight the best I can. Whatever you want to talk about leading up to the actual event. I will respond as quickly as possible. I wish you well on your journey.

Hello whatever you decide to do, I hope that you're happy with your decision and it brings you peace of mind. 🫶 If you're truly ready to ctb, try to take it easy on yourself...be kind to yourself. Maybe get a tasty snack? Listen to your favorite music on the drive? Anyway, I'm wishing you the best x

I'm at the train now to travel to the bridge. I said a nonchalant goodbye to my mom. I had to try not to cry saying goodbye to my dog. He's going through separation anxiety training right now and he has a safety toy that we put by the door when I leave to signal that it's safe here and I'm coming back. I might not come back.

I was also crying on the walk here for no reason. I've been so numb about this and I think it's all starting to hit me, what I'm doing.

I don't think you're ready for this, but I don't know you, so probably shouldn't comment. I wish you well with whatever you decide.

You very well might be right, but a little practice can't hurt ;)

Alcohol in system. Not much. At the bridge. I don't think I can do it today. I don't want it badly enough. I hate myself for that.

Gonna do a few laps just in case 🙃
I don't think I can do it. I wasn't destined to be a bridge jumper. Maybe I'll OD when my mom leaves. I'm trying not to sob. I wish I was brave.

I kept meaning to add this as a new post but on mobile it kept just editing the previous post with this instead.

Anyway, I'm alive. I might try tomorrow. But I'd hate to disappoint myself again.

Dont be so hard on yourself - ctb is a hell of a act especially because of SI so its totally ok that u are still here and as many users already said: we will support you with whatever decision you make. Sometimes our body still wants us here but one day we all will be free

I have gone to my spot multiple times and couldn't do it, it's totally understandable and you aren't a failure

It's normal to feel like a failure after a failed attempt. I have been there as well, several times now. For what it's worth, I think you do have a lot of bravery - it's just in a different way than you envisioned, but that doesn't make it less brave.

The jumping method sounds terrifying to me, I hate how it's not more straightforward to die, people shouldn't have to struggle so much to leave this existence. But anyway best wishes.

I was thinking about doing it today, I had another excuse to go out (another Taylor Swift listening party lol) but it was in the opposite direction of the bridge, I was insecure about what I was wearing and didn't want to be found like that, and made a bunch of other stupid excuses.

Tomorrow I was invited to a halloween party closer to the bridge. I don't think I'll have the guts but I want to try anyway. I feel so much urgency that every day I don't do it feels like a failure. Another day I let the people who ruined my life win.

Not going through with CTB isn't a failure, man. Forget whatever people say about it being the easy way out. Both living with the suffering and ending everything require the same amount of courage.

Worst case scenario: you don't do it and are forcerd to learn how to be happy. Both have their own merits.

Well, I disagree with that last part - they definitely don't win if you ctb. They don't win, or lose - they are nothing.

I related to what you said about what you were wearing. On my last attempt, I had those thoughts too. It struck me while I agonized that my outfit was all wrong. I hadn't prepared well. Some people might dismiss that sort of thing, but it's funny what your mind will latch onto when you're in distress.
