Discussion Does anyone envy the people who can make good bye posts and end it?

[Raggas]

I just wish I had that power. I'm too indecisive about ending it even though I rationally want to die all the time.

I've admired those that were somewhat lurking in the background, then pop up and say 'thanks for all the help, I'm off tonight' and then go.

 

[Rachel74]

Majority of people on here are very sincere with their goodbye posts but there are those that do it just for the effect. When I go I will just go. I am not here to be remembered.

 

[seekingoblivion]

I do. I said goodbye, made a pathetic attempt and came back like the coward I am. I've resolved that when I'll be ready I won't bother saying goodbye. I'd hate to embarrass myself a second time should I fail again.

I lurked this forum since summer 2018, and I've seen lots of these goodbye posts. I saw people genuinely sending good words and love to these people. I don't really care if some failed or if they were fake, when my time will come I will probably try to make my own goodbye post. What matters the most to me if how I feel in my last moments, and I can say that this forum makes me feel a very special connection with other people, regardless of their background, their personnal failures or moral compass. Even they're fake, I'd love to receive messages of encouragements and peace, much like someone dying of old age would have someone holding their hand. So yeah in a way I'm a bit jealous, more like envious, of those who already accomplished their thing. :)

 

[Sadwind]

I am definitely envious of people who are able to make posts like that. I probably won't though. It will make me want to change my mind.

 

[OnlyMercy]

I too will not make a goodbye post. I will simply fade into obscurity.

It is the finality of death which makes it all too exciting and intimidating.

In the long run, the act of suicide cannot be an incorrect decision as all men/women will die sooner or later.

I think the goodbye post might be motivation to actually go through with it for me. Although it's a huge risk also knowing there are a lot of supportive people here for me wishing me a peaceful journey is helpful

 

[LonelyLight]

Yes I feel the same. Seeing the comforting comments is nice but I wonder would I cling on to that. I'd actually miss this place and all the like minded people here.

They're like my heroes.

 

[262653]

No, strangely enough.

 

[Jean4]

I have no friends or family. I will die alone. It is as if my life didn't matter. That I didn't matter. There will be nobody to mourn me. No funeral. Nobody will care.
To me a goodbye post is important. I don't want to die alone. I want someone to be there. Someone to tell me they care. Maybe if I had that during my 51 years on this horrible planet, I wouldn't want to CTB.

 

[Hadenuf]

Soon

 

[welshie84]

No. But I think I'm going to do one . I don't really want to feel alone I may panic

I don't know, maybe. I figure these are all people who have managed to connect with others on here apart from just making a few random posts.

The goodbye threads do make me feel strange though. They're sad and scary in a way and I can never bring myself to just reply with "hope you find peace" or "hope it goes well" or "wish you a good journey". I know how pointless this is from my own experience, but I guess I wish I could just save everyone.

 

[KiraLittleOwl]

No, I don't want to make goodbye post. There's no real connection, just a bunch of strangers so way bother.
I am sorry if that sound harsh and against the grain.

 

[Ness]

A little. I'm envious that they've managed to go, I'm not there yet. Though when ctb I won't make a thread out of it, I'll just post on status. I feel like that'd be easier to update if something changes the schedule as I go.

I just wish I had that power. I'm too indecisive about ending it even though I rationally want to die all the time.

Every fucking day.

I thought there were rules against posting goodbye notes

 

[Blackjack]

My vet won't euthanize them. Shelter is horrible place for them. The don't-kill shelter movement means dogs live in small cages for years in depression. I don't want that for my dogs.

Then don't kill yourself humanely if you can't figure out a way to put your dogs down humanely.

The rules are you post a goodbye you get banned for security purposes.
