Discussion Would anyone FaceTime or phone call someone who was about to CTB?

[*KNAZ*]

Just was curious if anyone here has been asked to or considered talking on phone with someone who was about to CTB or was in process of waiting for it to kick in.

It is not common but does happen. Let's say if i was going to do it I would not use an easily traceable method such as Facetime or sharing phone numbers incase you become a line of enquiry for the authorities. There are enough systems out there that you can remain fairly anonymous and have verbal communication with someone, an app like Discord for example. Some people want some comfort or companionship in their last moments, the act alone of cbt is normally a lonely one and this may exasperate one of the reasons why they are doing it. i would always suggest caution and planning if you aim to keep someone company though for the reason I mentioned earlier where a kind deed can backfire royally.

Good points. I'm not sure which one I would be. CTB alone or wanting some human comfort. I was leaning towards doing it in a wilderness but it's getting too damn cold to be comfortable. Wimpy me is now considering a cozy hotel room for a couple of days. Some music, a last glass of wine the night before, some candles, just some last pampering and luxury.

I am fortunate to live on my own in respect to this. I have a 40 year old bottle of port and getting some luxury nibbles in my run up to the event. So comfort for me all the way. I don't intend to make a bad situation worse.

Very smart, and that's the direction I'm leaning. Would love to watch Lord of the Rings trilogy extended version before I CTB as well. Favorite movie. And no cheap motel room. Charge a luxury style hotel room on a credit card. And when they wheel my body out someone will say "oh that poor rich bastard had it all". Lol.

Sure if that's what they wanted.

 

[Sweet emotion]

No I wouldn't do that.

I did that a few years ago. Met up with someone else who was as bad off as me. Spent a small fortune renting a cabin to prep to leave. Person cleaned me out. I don't think they'd scammed me. Just, understandably, being in lots of pain and not yet absolutely certain, they took what resources they could to try something else.

A few years before, when I could still hold down a regular job, I'd travel the US coast to coast during the summers meeting other suicidals I'd formed online friendship with in all the continental states. Never worked out well. Got burned really bad a couple of times...

Lesson learned. No face time or meetings. Ever. Online and anonymous are safe. Worse anyone can do is insult you and leave. :/

Good luck if you ever try it.
