I'm wondering what motivations people have to make a goodbye thread while they're catching the bus.

I mean I'm sure plenty of people just don't want to be alone in their last minute. It's pretty scary killing yourself all alone.

I'd like to post a thread to feel less alone and to try and tell people what it's like.

Still- I'd be concerned of authorities seeing the page open on my phone and the site getting more attention/flack. I presume they would try and look at your recent internet history- even if you set your phone to lock.

Thinking maybe a short goodbye thread and then a self ban just before might be wise. Plus- clearing browser history. Thought about a factory reset on everything but then thought how annoying that would be if the attempt failed. I don't really know how much effort they go to to investigate a suicide. Probably not so much for someone of my age (42.) Reckon they'd likely be more concerned about youngsters.

I plan on leaving a posthumous goodbye thread that will post after a delay of about a week.

No. I will not be posting a thread. I can understand people that may feel less alone by leaving such a message. It really should be about what helps a person experience less emotional stress at such a pivotal time. I don't feel that's selfish at all. For myself- I think it's a time for privacy. I will be so focused on ctb, I can't give people a blow by blow account. As I've said before- to each his own.

I'm not sure if I will post but If I do it's because I want to feel less alone while I'm dying

I'm wondering what motivations people have to make a goodbye thread while they're catching the bus.
Being able to share a good bye with the only group of people that accepts and understands CTB would be nice, for me personally. I don't want to spend my last moments alone nor with people who don't understand CTB and who are very pro life, don't want to argue when I'm dying. If my thread can also help others who want to use the same method as a referance for timeline and so on it would also then be another benefit to making a bye thread.

Honestly, it will depend on how lazy and how impatient I'm feeling that day.

Same. Going for OD, which most people are against as a method, so there's not much info.

I won't make a thread because I will try to sweep everything clean, I don't want anyone to accidentally find my phone logged into this site and blame you guys for my death. You already see enough of that out there.

I probably will. Even though I'm used to being off on my own CTB is a particularly lonely undertaking and no matter how much I prepare I know I will be panicking all throughout my CTB due to fear of failing, hearing from other people and maybe getting to chat some the day of would be comforting even if only a tiny bit. It could also help someone else if I'm able to give enough updates—though, I'm combining methods so things may get too hectic for them at a certain point in the process.

I think the feeling of community and support, wishing the best and all of that is very needed mostly when we are about to leave. Leaving from here is difficult it takes courage. Humans we are biological driven to share in a community or with others. Connecting is important even if its to say goodbye. Also, it helps with data too cause it let us see what steps they took and what to avoid etc. however sharing a thread is a very personal optional decision. When i leave i will do one for the support
