Help timing

[sadbunny]

is it a really shitty thing to kill myself around or on someone's birthday rather than weeks or months away from it? it's not intentional I just don't think that I can hang on much longer anymore

If you die a accidental or natural death you also can´t decide if there´s a birthday or something. Just do it, when you fell it´s right for you.

I feel you, my mom's and borhter's bdays are both next month and I don't wanna ruin them but like, I can't hold on.

I would say make a gap of at least 3 days before or after.

Personally I'd wait about a week but I agree that only you know when your time is up

I wouldn't call it shitty at all. Waiting on the few close relatives I have birthdays to come and go has been screwing me up for months now, and things have been getting worse and worse for me. I guess I care too much, but I don't have much family left, and I don't want them thinking about me when it's supposed to be a happy day for them. It depends on how bad your situation is. If you can't hang on you just can't. But the one good thing about waiting it out is that it gives you more time to plan out exactly how you're going to ctb and not wind up in a hospital. Most attempted suicides fail because people go about it impulsively. So in a way I'm glad I've waited because I feel like I've got it right and won't be just another failure. Hope this helps a little.

I had this thought too as my partner's birthday is coming up and I thought I'd better wait until after. Then I realised he's going to be devastated whatever day I chose. His birthday will never be the same either way. Gutted.
