Discussion How to say goodbye before CTB?

[ManWithNoName]

How does one tell their friends, by voice, that I'm going to die, and not from a disease, and not the pandemic? My initial choice of words when I speak to them would be "because it's my time" but many will correctly conclude that I plan on self deliverance.

I realize that the closer I sense I am coming to ctb, the more I simply want to verbally say goodbye to my closest friends. Including a few ex-girlfriends who I still am close to, despite being a nomad.

Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Well, everybody has their own priorities, so there is no exact answer.
I think I will write something like: "There is no more point for me to stay" or "I think, this is enough"

I want to actually speak to them by voice which is why saying goodbye that way is a tricky thing—they will be apt to want to ask me further about this, and it could get to the point where I might simply say "fuck it, I'm a goner, I simply wanted to speak to you before I go."

Oh, that can be a very hard thing... You will never know what will be the reaction. Pro-life? Hysteria? It is likely you will have to finish the call. Would you like such a farewell?

You are correct that there is no telling how people will react. The desire to speak to people who are closest to me before I ctb is a recent sentiment, no idea where it's coming from.

I told my friend I am going to CTB. After that he was calling me constantly and he was constantly telling me about brain. We were arguing a lot, until I said that were just my thoughts... I had no other choice.

My friend, this would be hard depending on who you tell. If you have loving/caring friends then you best believe they are going to tell someone that can lead to the authorities. Be mindful on what you say, you don't want to catch a case with the police. You also don't want to hurt anyone or make others cry (which seems almost impossible if they really care about you) you wanna make sure it wasn't their fault and they made you happy. Be in their shoes and think what would they want to know and hear from their friend who they don't know is going to CTB. I can't even see my friends because of the fucking corona virus. My advice (which is what I'm doing now) is to tell my friends that I'm moving away, you can say goodbye as if you are going to die but you are disguising it as "moving away", it really works! I hope this helped, sending LOTS of love to you and I can help with more (:

I don't think u can say anything unless u want them to report u or make them upset. Most people will not want to know or hear about it. It's best not to say anything. Unless it's a note after ure dead. It's tempting to want to tell people but I've learned it's better if u don't say nothing. At least not face to face.

If you want to use your voice, leave a voice message. Unless the people in your life share your philosophy about suicide, they'll probably just call the police and you'll be put in psychiatric hold.

Just yesterday I disclosed my intention to ctb to a close friend. She has known me for years, and, though shocked to hear this, she was rather understanding. She has told me she would not tell anyone, and I have to take her word for it, but bear in mind there are also a couple of unique, mitigating factors in my favor at play here:

1. Although she is fully fluent in English she is in Brazil, and I am in German speaking Europe, who is she going to call?

2. The whole COVID-19 crisis is becoming a wake-up call for those who think that the Human experience is all beer and Skittles. More people are going to get afflicted and die. I told her as well that I would call it quits if I ever contracted the virus and found myself without a place to stay. Taking this position has helped my argument for ctb.

The more one considers the current pandemic and it's effect on all infrastructures across the board, there will be less resources and personnel available to track down potential ctb-ers. We will see what happens, but what is transpiring before us is fast taking center stage, overshadowing the issue of people who want self deliverance.

Well it seems you have things planned out (: but I learned from a close friend that if she calls the Brazil police then they can (I forgot the word) transfer it to police wherever you live, but you're safe if there is no way to find you, other than that be careful.

Yes I am in transit which is not good considering the pandemic. But honestly, all police world wide have their hands full with COVID-19 concerns, so they will not be even bothering with a call about a friend's potential ctb, especially internationally.
