Discussion What do you do before you attempt?

[LadyAlastor]

Well, like the title say's is their anything you do before you make an attempt ?

I'll go first.

For as long as I can remember I've always done this type of ritual Before I attempted. I would eat a meal that i would be craving after that I would lay out what I would be wearing, take a shower, get dressed and dolled up, play my suicide playlist I have, get high and have few drinks, place the rope around my neck and kick the chair under me.

When I told my partner this, he simply said it makes since because I'm religious, first impressions matter and that I'm giving myself an final day of enjoyment.

I guess he's right.

I unfortunately have enough attempts i managed to get a program for such thing. I set it to send to all over different online platform's direct or private messages my personal mind and thoughts of that person, typed out by me manually but to be sent only after i would have succeeded so there is no risk of being stopped mid way except by my own hand.
Besides that, in preperation i put on my own sucide playlist, but do a somewhat reverse of you, keeping whatever clothes on, and making sure im empty bowels before i go so that my corpse would have a little less mess, and by damn near ritual, i give 10 minutes outside to really really think. Those thinking sessions outside always get me to change my mind although not really for long. Admitably hard to go through if you dont have a firearm and some part of you still thinks you havent hit rock bottom quite yet.

I don't have any rituals, or make plans, but every time I get close I start giving stuff away (or throwing it away). I don't have much left now, don't have much use for most of it.

Just shows we are all different in what we do before we meet death

In the past I would simply attempt impulsively, but due to the poor method use of cutting, overdosing—certainly it would fail.
Now, I am planning thoroughly, however at times the pain becomes too unbearable and I feel like attempting impulsively again.

All seeking that meeting for different reasons, too. No two at the same place but all in the same place...

I dont like to think of this as a rituals, but the three times I have attempted I do the same thing the entire day leading uo to it.

I wake up early, around 5-6 AM, do a brief exercise routine, if I worked, I would go in as normal, if not I'd stay hone and usually read or play games for a little bit.

Around 3-5 PM I'll do a deep clean and arrange all of my things, the only time I can ever focus on cleaning is when I know I'm close to that headspace ironically. I'll usually do an extra long shower or bath and just clean extra well ig, before changing into comfortable clothes like pajamas or loungewear.

Lastly, at the end of the day when I know I'm home alone comfortably, I'll put my music on and set up my planned choice of CTB, then usually get high or drink a little bit, just enough to get comfortable, which doesn't take much because I fast all day during these times.

I've reached out to my friends and just casually told them I love them(which i already do from time to time) before carrying on with my plans so I don't arouse suspicions.

Obviously this is all rough generalizations and things change but this has been regular to my routine.

Never attempted before so idk for sure. But I'll prob spend as much time as I can with my best friend, my cat, listen to music I like, play as much games I want and eat as much food I want. I'll try to finish the book I'm writing if possible before I can no longer do so.
