Does anyone know of any confirmed cases of people who purposely got lost in the forest to CTB? They just let nature take its course so to speak. I have a gun, but try as I may I can't pull the trigger at the moment of truth. I want to take it deep into the woods and in the event I can't pull the trigger, I'll die from a combination of starvation, dehydration, and exposure. I really need to die before I become homeless which is on the horizon. I was hoping that the prospect of being homeless would give me the inspiration I need to pull the trigger, but still nothing. I'm beyond frustrated.

Ugh, I feel your fear of homelessness. Not there yet but...

I've never heard of anyone intentionally becoming lost and dying of exposure. There would be a lot of suffering involved in your idea...none at those are quick deaths and all are pretty uncomfortable.

Google Aokigahara forest, in Japan.
It's known for people going there to commit suicide.

I was going to say Japan. I watched a documentary on people going inside this forest to die. Seems pretty cool.

I watched that documentary and I'm pretty sure those people all hung themselves.

Somewhere on these forums maybe in the resource megathread there's a link to a wiki page on ways in which notable people committed S and it talks about one Japanese lady who I think was a psychologist or something like that and apparently they walked into a forest in northern Canada to purposefully get lost and never came back. But there's no much info about it other than that.

I think I read somewhere about her. She came from another country, possibly Japan, to see the northern lights and mysteriously disappeared. I think she died of hypothermia.

Yeh I didn't really look into other than what AI read on there so I'm not sure how they ruled it a suicide as opposed to an accidental death from getting lost.

If we're talking about the same case, which I think we are, it was ruled to be undetermined because there wasn't enough to conclusively rule it a suicide.

if you're trying to save yourself from the greater misery that might follow if you did not not end yourself now, perhaps that greater misery, or something you haven't imagined yet that might appear even later, could be what finally pushes you over the edge. not that i wish that for you, but it's a distinct possibility. it's difficult to gauge how much we are actually willing to put up with until we are called to do just that, and many of us end up surprising ourselves.

I hope you're right. I hope I do have a breaking point because living like this for decades would be hell on earth.
BTW that was a very intelligent and articulate idea. Thanks for sharing.

There was someone on here who attempted VSED and hiked out into the wilderness to die. After weeks of starving, they unconsciously walked back to civilization to get help. The human body is resilient and your brain will do whatever it has to to keep you alive. Think of all of the incredible survival stories out there. Dying in the wilderness would take an amazing force of will for potentially weeks to succeed.

Similar to me, and I hate it that there's nobody I can talk to. Whenever I'm feeling the reality weigh heavy on me, when I realize that this is my life, that I have nothing and nobody. I look online for someone like me desperately hoping. But I never find anyone. I have no way of ever supporting myself and I hate all the worst people are having the best time.
