Yes, and I know this for a fact, because it happened. Well, obviously I'm still alive, but my plan hasn't changed. Quite a few things improved for me, and it didn't make a difference.

I'm oversimplifying, but the only changes that could save me would require a time machine and maybe a few miracles.

I clicked "depends" but I think I would anyway.
However, I'd definitely feel like living some more years to enjoy the money, good health, new house and so on with my family, few friends and dog.
I'd probably reach my 50s or 60s and then CTB (I'm 32 now)

Not much would have to change in terms of quantity, but some just wouldn't even if I could go back in time. However, I certainly wouldn't have enough reasons to feel like going through with it.

I voted yes but in hindsight it depends largely what changed. There are certain factors within my life that would 100% stop me from ctb if they changed.

I do already have depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. But my main problems are caused by reality such as problems with money, career, personal, etc, etc. Solving these issues would make a significant difference to my mental health. Won't cure it, but I would be able to think a lot more clearly. And give me more options for better mental health treatment. I want to at least have that opportunity to give life a chance. And these are all options that having my own place, or having money, would go a long way in helping.

My vote was "I don't know". If everything suddenly got better, at the very least I would probably just postpone it for a while longer and wait until everything goes to shit again, but knowing that the positive changes were temporary would make it more difficult to enjoy them. Even for people with happy lives, their quality of life can change so suddenly and so fast that there was no way to prepare for it. This has happened with a few members of SS that now have chronic health issues that happened without warning and it led to them being here.

I would probably still set a date to CTB, but try to enjoy the good things as much as possible until the date arrived. I would probably come up with a bucket list of things I want to do before then and try to do as many of them as I can.

In my experience whenever things got better for me they always got worse afterwards. The only way for my life to get better is not to wake up one day.

Depends on how much better it gets and for how long it lasts.

Then again, the hedonic treadmill would probably demand that my life continue to keep getting better until I reach a state of infinite paradise which is obviously only potentially achievable in death...

yes, i most certainly would "catch the bus", and in fact i would be early for something, for a change

life, simply does not "suddenly" change for the better, and if it did, it certainly doesn't take away all the layers of scars

I voted that it depends because there is a lot that could be better and if all of it happened to be, then maybe I'd try to stick around. This includes not just my life in general but the people in it, too. If they could stop being assholes to everyone else around them and all become more genuine and good, then I wouldn't worry so much about my closest people-... Which, in hindsight, is also one of the things keeping me here as is. So maybe if that got better I'd just choose to die because of it? Uh, I guess I don't know. But I'll stick with the depends answer for the reality that if it so happens that everything gets better...

My suicide is just tied with the circunstances, if the circunstances got better I woudn't do it. But this is just impossible, to do that I would have to change all my past

No , I wouldn't . CTB is my absolute last resort. My life at the moment is unbearable & im sick of trying to wait for the light of the end of the tunnel . So if things got miraculously better fast & I'm genuinely happy, there would be no need . If only it were that simple .

Same. In my case only a literal miracle could fix what's wrong with me. I've already done the absolute best I could to try to circumvent the source of my suicidality, to no avail.

Yup , at least I can say that I tried . Really hard . I think that's what makes me feel at peace about my decision .
