So close

I read chats on here from people that plan their sucicide up to 6 months in advance.how do you not know that your life may have taken a better direction by then.I do get that we have stuff to sort out before we go and this can take time.Personally I can not see that far ahead and will be dead anyway.why does everyone (I don't mean people here) think that we can be helped and even want to be helped! It is our life and iit should be our decision to go.nobody has our personal pain and should not judge.
Some things that are broken cannot be fixed and a waste of time even trying.
The time is drawing nearer for me.

Imo, you can't really plan your suicide 6 months in advance. It's just a fantasy when it's that far away, like a form of escapism that can be soothing to a person who's hurting.

Just one look at the insane failure rate of suicide attempts and the number of people on boards like these who want to leave but can't shows how difficult it is to leave even for the determined. To think you can plan a suicide that far in advance in my opinion is naive and not based in reality but there are exceptions.
