Timed suicide notes?

[waterrrrrrrrrbottel]

Hey, I plan on going on Friday, but I'm not sure if it will work. If it doesn't work, I don't want my closest friends to know I attempted, so I don't want them to see my suicide note until I'm probably dead (so about a week from my attempt). How do I pull this off? For my online friends, it's easy, but how do I time my suicide note for my IRLs?

Schedule a email for 2 days later. You can cancel it if something goes wrong.

Gmail has this functionality

do you have an iphone? theres a way to automate texts for certain times and you can cancel them too

You can do this on an iPhone?

What @pphinquiry said, but also keep in mind that Google tracks what users search and also Gmail looks at emails and what not. This is why anything related to CTB I never use those popular, free email platforms, just too much risk there.

Dead man's switch

I will have a text message on a delayed send going to my sister after 36 hours. That gives me plenty of time to cancel it if my CTB attempt fails.

I'm planning to schedule mine too. My idea was to use Gmail too just as the first option coming to mind, but it's an interesting point @TAW122 makes... Not sure what alternatives I have available but I don't have an iPhone so I won't be texting them.

I often worry that in the event I fail my attempt, I might not be capable of cancelling my suicide notes (for example, a brain damage or coma situation). And I don't want my family receiving a suicide note for a living person . But really, if I'm a vegetable, can't say it'd matter too much - not to me at least.

I have an Android and am scheduling the delayed text. It's not only an iPhone thing. Just fyi.

I'm planning on just scheduling an email for a day or two after my planned date, so if I fail I can just cancel it.
