Hey there. My account is brand new but I've been lurking here for a few months and have chosen my method to ctb (SN with nighty-night as a back up) based on the things I've read here. I suppose I wanted to say "thank you" aloud to show my appreciation for the existence of this site since it has probably saved me from a more painful end, or much worse than that, a more distant one. I'm planning on having my affairs in order and being on my way in 5-6 days so I won't be around here long.

I have almost everything ready to go but my situation is a bit odd in that I've been staying in a motel recently since I'm effectively homeless. I would like to cause the minimum amount of trouble I can so I also plan on sending a timed email to the police so they can send someone mentally prepared to do whatever needs to be done. I'll have the email set to be sent 6 hours or so after I start, I'm hoping that's enough of a time gap to regain consciousness and regroup in the unfortunate event I pass out but failed to take a lethal dose.

I do feel bad about doing it on someone else's property but I feel bad about several other things like not having the money to pay for my own final expenses or a few of the people I know who will be shaken up by this but... them's the breaks. Ultimately no matter what I do it will cause problems and given my circumstances like time and money constraints I think I've come up with the best method I can. If anyone has any advice or anything I'll read it though.

Beyond that... I think the only worthwhile thing to mention is that I'm going to do something a bit odd with my notes. I plan on writing three, one akin to a will, a basic apology, and a sealed envelope containing "the truth" of my situation. I have only one person I care about in this world and I want her to have the last two, but I don't necessarily want her to unseal the last one. In the second note I'll tell her that as long as she never reads the third one it can contain any story she wants, she can imagine anything at all that can give her comfort and it will be impossible for it to be "wrong" since the truth does tangibly exist inside the envelope but also outside the knowledge of any living human. It might sound more cruel than kind but I think it will help her understand things better which will hopefully help her heal faster. And yeah I did straight up steal the idea from a certain popular visual novel.

Well thanks for reading my blog post, once things get going in a few days I'll update you all on the happenings.

I fear impending homelessness. I relate. I think I would not send emails 6 hours after...I think I would wait a bit longer. I think I will just let the housekeeping open door after my stay is up. I do feel bad for the workers though.

I think your friend will open the envelope you don't want her to open. It's just human curiousity to open and read contents of stuff.

I don't know you, but you come across as VERY likable in your post. I share your pain--and I'm sorry for it. I don't know how long SN takes, but 6-hours sounds a bit on the shorter side to me. But I'm sure you've researched this. I hope guilt doesn't haunt you over your choice of a motel... Society forces us to make these decisions because it won't permit us to go, otherwise, on our own terms. So we do what we must.

Your choice of notes--especially the caution to the person you love--struck me as thoughtful and compassionate. If we aren't explicit, survivors lament not knowing why. If we tell them why, they begrudge us the truth. No matter what we do, we're demonized. Your compromise is one of the best I've ever heard.

I wish I could fix things for you. I get it (at least I think I do). We claim to want to end suicide, but still we support the sulfuric institutions our researchers tell us over and over again push people to suicide. Things like exorbitant housing costs and a predatory housing market that perpetuate chronic poverty and homelessness. Or wage-slavery in which corporations win the right to compensate employees so little that we're exhausted, stressed, sick, and depressed. The new gig economy with little secure employment and the inability to plan for the future (mortgages, retirement...). And none of that even touches the failure of "mental health" to address the deep causes of chronic depression and suicidality for many of us.

Hope something miraculous happens for you.

To be fair I'm only technically homeless because I deliberately sabotaged myself by quiting my job months ago, blowing through my savings, giving/throwing away nearly all of my belonging and moving clear to the other side of the country. Figured I'd try to have a bit of fun before going on my way you know? I don't think I have it in me to go through actual homelessness though and I don't intend to even try. As for the time frame... I guess I could add more time but I do want to go that route all the same.

Yes I anticipate she will do just that which is part of my goal. Watching infinite possibilities including happy ones crumble to reveal the single truth might help her understand me better than the actual truth itself. You can go from not knowing to knowing but you can never go the other way, that's one of the cruel realities of the world. Then again if she doesn't open it that could give her comfort so either way I hope something good comes of it.

Thank you for the kind message FTL.Wanderer, maybe I should have joined this forum sooner. At this point I'm pretty numb to everything that has brought me here, it just is what it is and I'm not sure humanity is going to change for the better anytime soon so I figure I might as well leave. So aside from the stuff I mentioned in the OP I'm doing alright.

A little less than 30 hours until I take the first SN drink and I think I'm having a reaction of sorts with the antiemetic. I've taken three doses with a fourth in a few hours based roughly on the 48 hour regimen in Stan's guide and I've been feeling weak and nauseous most of the day. I tried taking a nap even though I have things I still need to do but that didn't help.

I really don't think it's my nerves, but I sure am getting nervous that if I feel like this tomorrow at midnight I'm not going to be able to keep the drink down since I'm not sure I'll keep my lunch down now. I've take that fourth dose but if it makes me any worse I might have to hold off a day and try the stat dose tactic or my back up. Probably not super useful info since medicine reactes to everyone differently and antiemetics are hard enough to come by as is but the exact medication is reglan/metoclopramide. I'll also say that I'm not truly suffering or anything so this isn't a knock against the SN method at all, just something I felt I should note.

On an unrelated note I decided to wait 8 hours for the email thing.

Ugh... so it would be 5ish hours until go time but I've decided to push it back by one day. Between me not feeling well recently and my natural tendency to procrastinate there are one or two things I still need to take care of. I mean I wasn't shooting for a specific date really but it's still annoying since I was psyching myself up.

Anyways some of the errands I got do e today are things like throwing away/pawning off all of my stuff except the things I'll need tomorrow so I better do it then or else. Even money wise I'll be completely broke after tomorrow.

P.S. that was the first time I've ever been in a pawn shop and they hardly gave me anything for the valuables I gave them. I would have picked a different option if I had to do that again.

Hope you don't feel any pressure to do anything. An idea I have is to cash out all my stuff and make a smart contract to disperse the money to my beneficiaries if I don't stop the process. I know what you mean about pawn shops... You're in charge of your ship, but please don't feel you have to rush it.

If I'm rushing it's only because I took longer to get everything going than I should have. I've had the SN and Meto for almost 6 months now, honestly I should have used them awhile ago. At this point I've exhausted all of the time I have available to mess around. I'm confident things will go smoothly but on the off chance they don't I'm going to be in a pretty bad situation, much worse than if I done this a few months ago when I had plenty of money to fall back on.

Anyways... this extra time has been yet more evidence that this is the right choice to make. I'm not actually using it to do anything meaningful, just the same banal stuff I've always done. So maybe it is a good thing in that regard. Unless something very unexpected happens tomorrow it will be my last day alive, I've decided that. The chance to reconsider things has passed by.

My LW SN is getting old. i could have maybe held out a couple of years more. but since they banned LW i need to do it much sooner because my SN is getting old. so pro-lifers are making me do it sooner. i don't trust other brands as much as LW .also having trouble getting meto so that's getting old too.

I've seen you twice say that and I was concerned.

Enjoy your last day I guess
Thanks, so far I have I suppose. It's been a day almost like any other. I went to the beach and the library, rode around on my bike and now I'm back in the motel room finishing up some stuff. It's a little weird thinking that as I do this or that it's the last time I'll ever do it but everyone dies eventually, the main difference is I know when that time is coming.

I'm still really calm, hopefully that doesn't mean I'm going to freak out at the last second or anything, haha.

I'm not gone yet lol, thanks for the thought though I know what you mean. 7 hours and some change to go.

Maybe making this thread was yet another bad idea in the string of bad ideas that is my life. Well not the thread so much as listing a definite time and all that. I should have known I was too disorganized to make it and instead just gone when things felt right.

I do still plan for tonight to be the night but it won't be for another hour at least since I haven't even taken the meto or mixed the drinks up. I'll probably post again right before I down the first glass but ultimately I guess it doesn't really matter. Thanks for the kind words everyone, I really should have made an account here sooner. Now to work on those last couple of things.
