Please talk me out of asking my loved one for suicide acceptance

[PrettyZombie]

The dumb part of my brain is convinced on having a calm, rationale discussion with my only friend/roommate about my suicide next month. I don't want to hide or manipulate the "end of life" planning - donating my belongings, closing accounts, arranging for name changes in accounts. My autistic brain thinks it's cruel to dump potential complications from my death on a loved one. Planning for this is 1000% better than disappearing with all my junk left behind. My loved one will already be grieving - having to throw out my stuff and figure out financial things is already awful.

But I know normal people can't handle this. The mere mention of this would be considered cruel and manipulative. I truly would like to plan my death with peace and dignity. Hiding all these arrangements is already so grueling. I'd be so much happier if I could be open about it.

i'd like to help you out but i feel like i'd be pushing you in one direction or the other. just think about it before you make your decision.

it depends on the person. my bf is well aware. i wouldnt say i have his "sure you can" but i have his understanding if i do.

If you do decide to talk to them about this do it slowly, as just telling them everything might be too much for the normal person. You could try to talk with them as a sort of safety net and just talking about the what-ifs. You'll have to tip-toe around some topics though as they might get worried at why you want to do "end of life" planning.
