Set a suicide date and stick to it

[Defenestration]

Hi,

What do you think about a suicide date and stick to it.

I saw the film *The Fire Within*, and they set a date of July 23rd for CTB... Another film, *Osol*, August 31st, where the hero overdoses on the day of his leave, August 31st.

Suzanne Lothar committed suicide the day before the 5th anniversary of her husband's death...

What do you think? Set a date or a window of 2 or 3 days in case something comes up on the day itself.

I think setting a date that is a few weeks or months from the present is better since you will have time to think of it and decide whether you actually want to give up or continue living to try to get better. Also if you actually decide you will ctb you will most likely be way less impulsive and anxious at the moment of the act, so yeah it sounds like a good idea.

Je pense qu'il vaut mieux fixer une date dans quelques semaines ou quelques mois, car vous aurez le temps d'y réfléchir et de décider si vous voulez vraiment abandonner ou continuer à vivre pour essayer d'aller mieux. De plus, si vous décidez réellement de mettre fin à vos jours, vous serez probablement beaucoup moins impulsif et anxieux au moment de l'acte. Donc oui, cela me semble une bonne idée.

Thanks for your advices

I'd prefere to do it impulsively because setting a date would cause me too much stress. But everyone is different. And even if you set a date, your SI may stop the attempt. It may be different with legal euthanasia if your family supports you in your last days. I'd like to ask for euthanasia because of my illnesses but in an ideal world, I'd prefere to drink N at home when I want to do it.

One thing is sure : the more we overthink about it, the less we do it... I hope you'll find the best solution.

The problem is that the SN (sudden awakening) can't be done on a whim... You have to follow the "protocol" for at least one day: don't eat lunch if you're having the SN in the evening, prepare the three glasses and everything, weigh the quantities... It can't be instinctive like jumping or shooting a gun.

You know what it depends on the method, some need careful planning and some you can do on a whim. I would have to plan mine, and I haven't been very good at it up until now, hence the reason I am still here. On a side note: Globally, over 1,970 people die by suicide every day, which equates to one person every 40 seconds according to the World Health Organization.
