I don't know you, or what's going on that's got you thinking about leaving- but first thing, there's no pressure. You don't owe it to anyone to follow through on your plan just because you made it- if you're hesitating, you're allowed to delay, you're allowed to think some more, and you're allowed to change your mind and live. You're not weak, and you're not a coward, for changing your mind and living.
If you're hesitating, I have to ask- do you really want to die? Or do you just not want to be stuck in the life you're living? I'm not judging. But from my heart I want to say that life can change for the better, even if it seems absolutely impossible. I know cause I've been there.
I tried to take my life when I was twelve. I had a serious mental illness, and I was in a lot of pain. And one day, it just overwhelmed me. I wanted it to stop. And in that moment, I spiraled, and I let go. But I'm still here, because what I chose to do to myself didn't work. And now it's been seventeen years, and everything is different. Things got better, even though at the time I had no idea how they would.
Your life matters. I promise you that, from one human being to another, from the very bottom of my heart. Your story doesn't have to end this way. If you're feeling on the brink, please, go tell someone you can trust how you're feeling, right now. And if there's no one you can trust, call a hotline. No, its not the same as a personal connection, but those people will listen to how you feel, and have the resources to help.

I love you. <3
I'm already way behind when I originally planned because my brothers and friends kept showing up unexpectedly and I just couldn't find the time to be home alone long enough to ctb. But tonight after 10 I'll have the chance so that's when I'll finally do it I think. I'm nervous and kinda scared but also relieved about it.
I'm still having doubts about doing it at home though. I'm thinking maybe I should drive somewhere? Just so no one has to come home to that. I just don't know where I would go.
I just wish there was something to make the guilt go away :(
