Personally I don't like the idea of a suicide pact. It puts too much pressure on each other to follow through, and if one party doesn't then it introduces guilt from the one who backed out & resentment from the other party.
In addition to that, what if your attempt fails, but the other person succeeds? If you find yourself awake with a dead partner, you'll be in a whole lot of trouble through no fault of your own. Or vice versa - they'll be in big trouble.
Lastly, it's very difficult to find someone trustworthy in real life or online. There is a risk that they'll tattle on you, sometimes not deliberately - could be as simple as the other person's friend noticing someone new (you) they're hanging out with and asking a bunch of questions - but also there are way too many people who get off on this stuff. Sure, you can meet someone online instead of in real life, but who knows what their true intentions are.
I agrée with you. I have made a suicide pact with a family member but I'm now feeling guilty. They say they want to go as much as I do but I'm worried that they will be scared that they would want to back out for several reasons of which I share.
And I know that if I died this person would not be able to live with the pain of losing me for even one second, so what if it is successful for me and not them. Also this person has a lot of medical issues besides mental, so I would have to be the one to administer the method to them, like assisted suicide and now I don't know if I would be able to do that, I'd feel like I'm pressuring them, killing them and also I would be terrified of the emotional pain of seeing them dead even though I would go right after.
Now I actually regret telling them about it and would rather do it on my own but there's two issues, one, that I don't want them to go through the pain of loosing me for I am they're life, I'm everything to them. The pain would be unbearable to them if they lost me and vice versa another issue is that they now know I'm going to get the method and plan on doing it. Everyday they ask me, you're not going to do it and leave me behind right, you wouldn't do that to me right?
Now that's all they think about, they are terrified and panicked. I feel that I put pressure on them and caused them to constantly worry. I feel horrible about that and I really regret telling them/making the pact. I'm so consumed by guilt. I don't know what to do, I'm really worried and confused as to how I'm going to go about this. I have no clue where to go from here.
If anyone has any advice I would truly appreciate it. Sorry for the rant.
