Discussion Would you rather ctb rationally or impulsively?

[http-410]

Considering that many people have registered here in order to search for safe methods, one can probably assume that most of them want to catch their bus in a planned and rational way.

But is that really the case?
Do you think that if you suddenly felt very bad or in the "right moment", you would throw your plans over and impulsively catch the bus earlier than planned?

Should one catch the bus rationally or impulsively? Or doesn't that matter?

In my opinion it's always better to plan your ctb carefully. This way you can avoid being rescued and minimalize the pain your close ones will feel.

Rationally. Something can always happen to change the course of your life; not saying it will, but it can. You're much better off knowing you have exhausted your options than just throwing them away all at once and before the time.

rationally. if you ctb impulsively, there's a higher chance of failure. not to mention, you're thinking with your heart and not your head.

Someone can rationally plan their suicide and then impulsively carry it out. That's sort of what I'm afraid of.

Like I want to be sure I'm ready, but if I'm not actively miserable and wanting to ctb immediately, I'm usually just too tired to care. Maybe it's just because I'm not there yet, but I've never felt like commiting to a specific date or "time limit" for me to ctb.

I've rationally planned it all out, except the "when". I don't think it matters if I plan the date/time or just impulsively do it one day as long as I'm not careless about it.

Rationally because when I have tried to CTB impulsively in the past it doesn't work well. Planning a least gives peace of mind that the method will be good and a Higher chance of being successful.

 

[LastWhisper]

I have already planned it, so if there will be an impulsive moment before I do it rationally, I think I'll still succeed.

This is exactly what I'm doing. It's difficult to explain and I don't want to but impulsively is about the only time I want to commit but I'm planning it so it wouldn't be completely impulsive

 

[Snowdrifts1212]

Rationally. I want to be at peace and ready. I don't want to CTB in the middle of a crisis or impulsive, irrational thinking. I don't want my last minutes to be in pain and confusion, which is the backdrop I'd be experiencing in an impulsive situation. I want to be calm and prepared, and have made my peace with the world that I'm leaving. I don't want to leave things undone. I'd like to ensure I've left a clear plan for my finances and affairs and some thoughts for my loved ones.

 

[ghostspace]

I have a serious problem with overthinking things so while I want it to be a rational, prepared decision, most likely I would overthink it so much I wouldn't be sure I was sure, even if I completely was.

Realistically, impulsive would probably be more successful for me because I would be experiencing the emotions strongly in the moment so I'd know exactly why I'm sure.

 

[Sprite_Geist]

Ending it rationally is preferable because it ensures that it is definitely the action you desire. It also gives the opportunity to plan it our carefully to minimize the chance of failure, as well as putting everything into order.

Attempting to do it irrationally increases the probability of mistakes being made; which can lead to either your death being more painful than it needs to be, or in some instances you may survive but with permeneant and crippling injuries.

 

[muffin222]

Rationally. I want to be in a clear headspace and 100% certain that this is the route I want to take because it's irreversible

 

[nitroautnz]

I start my first method impulsively because i just wanted to stop my suffering. But i realize that my chance of failing was really high(and I chicken too let's be honest), so I change my mindset I start to plan everything rationally after that, i hope i will manage to stay strong and keep it to my plan.

 

[LonelyDude15]

Rationally so I can delete all my social media accounts first. I don't want some in memorial wall from people who never really cared

 

[Deleted member 19654]

I'd like to be rational about it but I don't know how well I'll be able to control myself so I could end up being impulsive.

 

[GoneGoneGone]

Definitely will do it on impulse

 

[LastFlowers]

Rationally waiting for the impulse so I don't keep getting overly cerebral about it.

 

[CoalmineCanary]

I wish to exit rationally but sometimes that sense of urgency can be irrationally strong. It's also a case of pragmatism as I hope to exit safely, successfully, and with the least amount of harm to others.
