Discussion Suicide is my retirement plan.

[Forever Sleep]

And you?

Is your proposed suicide more to avoid a current problematic situation or, a future one? Or, both?

In some ways, I see suicide as a preventative measure. If I make it into retirement age, I'm looking at:

- Not actually being able to retire because I won't be able to afford to!

- Having to try and struggle to work with likely physical illness and pain... If I can even find work at that stage.

- Being alone and possibly ill with no friends or family around.

- Ending up in some God awful council run care home.

- Getting to a stage where I can't physically CTB anymore.

I obviously don't want to let that happen! I hope I can get my shit together and get out before then.

I somehow made it to retirement age, but your name (love it) is apt for me now. Sleep is my friend, where in dreams I actually do enjoy life. (No physical pain or discomfort, no worrying about eating or not eating, no absence of things to do if I want to, time doesn't exist, and of course all the fun stuff like flying and swimming underwater!) There are plenty of people who enjoy retirement, but then there's lots of us, too. Life and living is a fickle beast.
