i made the decisions to ctb a month ago. i've procrastinated doing this for the last few days. but i think i am ready. i don't want to die. but i don't want to go on as incompatibly with the world and disappointingly to others as i feel like i am. passing as normal-enough is exhausting, and i am less able to pull it off than i was when i was younger. and i'm not willing to deal with what complete emotional vulnerability will cost me. i've lost my raison d'etre. and the distractions that protect and prolong my life are not enough to replace that. i've tried with increasing failure to repair my life over the last 10 years. i just want to go to sleep. i am sad about it. i am sad. but i have had a good life along the way. and at least this way it's under my own terms, and i don't have to let myself or anyone else down ever again. it's not ideal. it just is. because i am making this choice. i did my best for as long as i could ... or as long as i was willing.

this site has been an invaluable resource and a much needed place of empathy and acceptance. i surfed the site anonymously long before i registered. thank you.

it's been 9 hours since i last ate or drank anything (i fasted overnight).

i just mixed 3 doses of sn (i'm a big guy, so i mixed 30g in 60ml of water – based on this lookup table).

interesting side note, i was pleasantly surprised by the chemical reaction that made the water cold after mixing in the sn (i could feel it through the plastic container).

i made 3 doses in case of vomiting, because (against advisement*) i am skipping the anti-emetics. i know with myself and my adhd, and figuring out how to get beta-blockers or other meds requiring a prescription in canada (under false pretenses) was beyond me to pull off. and doing sn without ae meds was still more appealing than partial hanging or the night-night method (which were/are my backups).

*no lectures please in this thread. i am not asking for a critique, and i don't want to hear any gear-head technical commentary from suicide scenesters right now. i made an informed decision. if you feel a self-righteous need to express your views on the subject, take it somewhere else. (like this interesting thread)

the last thing i have to decide is whether i'm going to take it in my bed or in the comfy chair in my den where i think my vomiting or other noises will be less noticeable / concerning to my neighbours. also, it would compel me to get dressed, which is probably a better way to be found (even though naked under my blanket currently feels pretty nice … and like a nice last way to feel).

once i make that decision, i'm going to swig some listerine to try to overwhelm my taste buds a little. then i'm going to stick a straw into my first dose and take it. and if i vomit that up, i'll take the next … and then the next.

i'll post another note when i do that. and i'll try to log whatever subsequent reactions i can.

i'm staying logged into the site, but might not be replying to anything else from here on in. i kind of need to be alone with this.

c'est tout.

I hear you about feeling incompatible with life and being exhausted from trying to appear normal. Whatever this life didn't give you, I hope you get once you cross over my friend :heart:.

I hope you find your peace. I won't be far behind. And yes I have ADHD for over 50 years and it is draining trying to be "normal" and I'm tired myself may God give you peace as you die.

update: i made the big decision to get dressed and move from my bed to the comfy chair in my den.

@ 3:20 – mixed another dose, out of overcautiousness of having left the others sitting for 3 hours in water bottles. but i have them as backups. again, the fresh dose is reassuringly cold

@ 3:24 – did a couple of swishes of listerine

i don't want to do this. but i don't want to face the alternatives. fuck.

@ 3:29 – I just opened a straw. garbage bags ready for possible vomiting.

@ 3:33 – started an episode of Community.

playing through what would happen if i actually called any of my friends right now to talk or ask for help.

@ 4:30 – still sorting this out in my head. damn it.

fuck me, i don't want to die. but i don't believe there's enough help in the world to help me. trying to figure out if i'm more terrified of living than dying ... or if i can see a way that living could be worth more than just a protracted distraction from failure and shortcoming. itemizing things that feel overwhelming...

fuck fuck fuck.

ugh

@ 5:44 – latest thought. take a nap. hope i wake up wanting to just take a deep sip of this stuff.

You sound a bit too conflicted for this to perhaps be your best idea right now. I'm only afraid of the pain whereas it sounds like you are contemplating whether life could still be worth living. I don't think you should do it under these circumstances. x

have a chill.. relax.. get your head straight. this isn't a walk to the shops.. it's the end. your body and mind will be doing everything to kick this idea out of your head.. just go with it.. have a sleep.. thes no rush the drinks are still there, weather you drink it or chuck it away.. your final instincts will give you the answer.. rest easy friend.

You aren't ready to catch the bus. Let it go for now. You say it there yourself: "I don't want to die". You don't have to.

Think this properly through. No rush. Figure out what help means for you.

If you have people to talk to: talk to them. Call the friend you have in mind there. There is always way forward. And if absolutely not, you can still make the decision to leave this place when you are absolutely and steadfastly ready for it.

I respect your decision, but saying that you don't want to do it makes it heartbreaking. I don't want to die either... But I can't undo my mistake or flee to save my health... I feel like I deserve to die, but you don't. If only... If only all you had to do to survive is lower the expectations you put on yourself & say fuck you to an enslaving society... Feel free to call a friend. Maybe they have ideas. Maybe there is no need to hide & just find people like you.

If ready, I'd lie in bed dressed. Good compromise. Does SN expires once in water? You can wait to feel more at peace with it?

I wish you peace.

I admire your courage to write your doubts and your torn between death and hope so honestly. It is good to wait when there is still a spark of hope. Suicide is absolutely final, there is no going back, no maybe, no after, no I'll try it as it is. It's so damn hard to do it and in a way maybe that's a good thing, because after all there are actually many who are glad to have survived years later. You just don't meet them here, so sometimes it gives a distorted picture. That you were not ready to drink your sn does not mean that you suffer less, have less pain than others.

I wish you with all my heart that you find relief in your pain!

You sound like a gentle giant with a big heart and deep emotional wounds. It is important that you feel totally comfortable with your actions, especially when it comes to ctb. I wish that you find peace. Your wounds can turn into scars and that is alright. Wish I could just give you a hug in person. May you have the courage to do what is right for you, my friend.
