"Leave an unremarkable corpse"

[the box is empty]

No matter what, it won't be pretty. My physical appearance was nothing to write home about when I was alive; if and how I'm found I know it'll be pretty macabre regardless of my chosen method (which is why I plan on SN far far away from home). It's strange when I think about CTB and all the preparation involved one thought that crossed my mind was "I should get a haircut."

None of that matters when I'm gone but for whatever reason it bothered me to not look "presentable" even to a stranger. I don't really believe in the afterlife and I'm sure I'll be a gruesome sight to whichever hapless person comes across my remains but I still want to make sure my hair is combed neatly and my teeth are brushed. This will be the final snapshot of me so I may as well be groomed.

Does anyone think this way? (and yes I'm familiar with the actual effect SN will have on my body and I'm aware of the different stages of decomposition)

I don't want to be a fat corpse so I'm trying to lose weight.

Did you know incredibly obese corpses can explode in the cremation process and set the whole place on fire?

 

[FreedomInDeath]

No. I think disgusting corpses look better as they are more interesting and beautiful. There is a great crime scene cleaner channel on youtube and it is amazing. Last video insects made a nest in a womans hair. Hoping this happens to me, I am trying to be going to outside to decompose.

Yes. I actually didn't just think about getting a haircut, I also considered blowing my last money on a nice tailored suit to go with it – which I didn't in the end, because it would be a little uncomfortable dying in a suit. Still thinking about it from time to time though,

So what? You'll be dead and your family will be devastaed, no matter what. I want a peaceful, reliable method.

I heard of one method where you eat healthy and exercise for several decades into your old age (90+) and if you do everything right you should peacefully die in your sleep.

Consider wearing an adult diaper OP, so your feces and urine don't go all over the place when you die

Or you could do that and die of cancer, which is very common.

Or just apply for euthanasia, easy to do when your 90+. But the catch is you will have to live life until then

yeah, whoever came up with that one is pretty stupid.

As a rule of thumb, your chance of serious suffering increases the older you become. Getting older just means getting dementia and shitting your oabnts all day.
.

Rather you want to live healthy and exercise and then die with 60 in a car crash.

Thought of this LOL

I was joking, it's the exact opposite of catching the bus

I think about this, but in a different way. I want to try to mask my suicide as an accident, and it will no doubt raise suspicion if I look too tidy and for instance put on my best suit. (If I for some inexplicable reason would change my mind, I'd put on my Star Wars costume. I look absolutely dashing in that outfit. ) I will most probably be found within 48 hours and most likely by my brother, and I want to make it a slighly less traumatic experience for him.

 

[Fragile]

this is one of my major considerations, i hate the way i look, but i want to be presentable and minimize the chances of traumatizing innocent people as much as i can. i just want to look asleep and at my "best", if there's even such a thing.

that's why i never even considered methods like hanging, jumping or gunshot, just the pictures are traumatizing enough, i can't even imagine finding someone like that. no amount of therapy could erase that mental image.

 

[Empty Smile]

I'm hoping that by the time I'm found, I'll be bones, or completely gone.

I'm not so sure whether traumatizing people—at least taking a big picture view—isnt a desirable thing, because the sooner people lose their illusions about this life, the more their defences break down,— the sooner they might start being more considerate, compassionate and careful about creating new lives in shitty circumstances.

By sparing them even this fraction of the pain that you felt, you enable their ignorance of the real, hard suffering that goes on in the world everyday.

Also, as a suicidal person, you are shut up, censored, isolated your whole life—why should I participate in the act of my own silencing even in my own self annihilation?

I say, let them see the corporealization of my suffering, the externalization of my pain.

it's not an illusion, every person has the right to think whatever they want about their reality and live accordingly. i'm not ruining a person just because i want to teach them a lesson about life or send a message, that would be kinda fucked up.

traumatizing an innocent and unrelated person is a very undesirable thing at least for me, i didn't ask to live a shitty situation and neither did they, my suffering is none of their business and if i can at least minimize the damage that it will inflict upon someone then i will do it.

i would prefer to die in the winter just so i can wear one of my favourite jumpers n a scarf, feels more me

Fair game, I'm not prescribing anything
