Method opinions on double suicide?

[iheartreb]

what the title says.

in my mind it's always been romantic to commit suicide with the love of your life. since i was young i've been fantasizing about shooting myself in the head together with someone i love. more efficiently than a gunshot to the head tho would be jumping off a roof so it's 100% sure both of us die together. i'm just curious what you guys think.

Was pretty much alone all the years of my illness, therefore it only seems right to die alone too. Would also feel a little inhibited with someone else and that moment has to be pure in my mind. But if one truly has the love of one's life, been with them for ages and therefore perfectly comfortable with one another, sure, it's cute.

I'd personally prefer to die alone far away from other people but in general I wouldn't see it as the best idea as other people cannot be trusted and relied on. A suicide partner could very easily lead to complications as like what if the other person decides to back out of plans, suicide is already difficult enough without involving other people.

I'd like to go out with someone, for support and to not have to do it all on my own. When I've loved and been loved I generally didn't want us both to be dead though .

I see some issues here and it depends on the chosen method.

What if the other one backs out in the last second?
What if one of you survives?

In fantasy yes because it would make it so much less scary and a less isolating/lonely experience, but in reality there are too many risks and there is no-one I could trust to that level. I also would feel bad backing out if I changed my mind last minute or risk traumatising the other if they backed out, idk I like it in concept but for me there is no way I would make plans with someone else

doesnt usually work that well, i was supposed to go with sm1 but clearly im still here, she isnt :(

 

[Kessa]

Damn, so you backed up or something? Hope you're feeling alright

Depends how sure the other person is. I would just do it alone as company may regret it and fuck me over and fuck themselves along too. I may consider it just if i know the person wont back off. Otherwise alone is ok. I dont see it as romanticizing at all either. Company is neither bad or a good thing

Pretty much.

to be honest i'd wanna ctb with someone else, although thats kinda impossible for me it would be nice. i've been alone all my life, but i dont have to be alone finally leaving this world yknow

I wish I had gotten that option with my partner, but I had to stay to protect his remains from his awful family.

 

[enstarve]

Its an odd sense of comfort to leave the world with someone by your side id say. But of course theres a risk of only one person making it.
If it were my partner and i doing this and i by some miracle do not die by ctb, id definitely die from heartbreak.
That aside though, ive been alone enough through my life. So if im leaving it, i want to hold hands with the one i love and perish in peace.

it's why I am still here, funeral is Tuesday next week I know her parents wouldn't oblige my dying wish of mixing our ashes. They're mostly the reason she is gone.

I always told her we would go together, but that Was if one was terminally ill, I guess she was just of the mental rather than psychical kind - but this was always in some future when we were older

Everyone tells me she would want me to live, but she did lose that right when she died as she always promised she couldn't do this too me, I am not mad at her as I know it was never a promise she could make but I can't live just for her memory.

It also really pisses me off when people constantly tell em this will get better with time, it won't, even my therapist tells me it won't you just learn to live with it (or dont)

It's my opinion that a mutual CTB is a bad idea. If it all works out, fair enough, but what if one of your survives and wakes up with a dead body on their hands? It's not worth the risk...

Sorry if I am missing something, but it sounds nonsense to me. I can understand one might want to have to have someone special or important at your side while dying, but double suicide?? If you have someone that you actually love in your life, you'd been thinking about surviving and thriving in life with that person, and not suicide, less so "double suicide". Like, why would you even want to be part on the death of someone you love? Maybe you're a teen and ingenuous?

 

[leavingthesoultrap]

I am a loner and I will go out as one too

 

[vitbar]

Being alone is so much of my motivation that I'm unsure I could do it with someone else.

So, I got curious about the double-suicide phenomenon, and... According to Double suicide in modern Japan (in Kanagawa prefecture): Comparison with those in post-war Japan and other countries, until the 1960s, double-suicide between young couples happened in cases of arranged marriage where both partners were unhappy with it, and in cases where society wouldn't accept a couple to marry for social differences or financial impediments. But this scenario changed after it became the norm for people freely choose their partners. Now, double suicide happens in elderly couples for the reasons (found in suicide notes) "terminal pain and sickness, financial difficulty, love affair, mental illness, and familial matters".

I take back what I said earlier. This is the kind of situation I could see myself being able to take part in.
