Impulse vs plan

[fightingforchoice]

Once you've decided on your method, will you set a date or leave it until the impulse overtakes you?

I've decided if I cbt it'll be via inert gas, but I'm worried to buy all the kit and teach myself how to do it, as I've had such overwhelming urges this year I would have done it by now given the means. The next day or even a few hours later the impulse subsided.

I want to cbt but I'm still here as i'm an only child and my death will completely destroy my mother. So I need to make sure I can absolutely by no means hang on any longer. at the same time I think I'll feel an increased sense of peace having everything set up and ready to go.

Would love to hear other people's thoughts on this!

In my previous attempt, setting a date helped me know when it was time to get into the zone

I tried partial - but I failed severally
But I was in the zone and I was not going to stop till I succeed until I got caught

Now
I'm realizing that impulse might b okay cause of opportunity
So once I'm done with my research for full - imma pick a period of time and once I have opportunity I'm out

So both
As long as it gives me the chance I need to catch the bus

Ive set dates to be able to purchase stuff... But it was only then i realized, i had not thought about everything... Now im so scared and feel unprepared but am thinking that impulse will be my only possibility, because im a wreck, and master in avoiding problems.... and I dont know what else will be different then.
But i guess our situations are completely different... I feel like im overdue...

ill do it more on impluse or when theres no other option. setting a date would only hinder my chances because of my EF difficulties. idk why but having a long term goal in my head would just make me resistant to it, so i have to work around that.
