[kocto]

Christmas time.

Christmas time.

thats what i thought immediately too

 

[ctbsd24]

My vote would be for winter and the holidays. The holidays can be very lonely for some people. It's also a time of year when happiness from others is more amplified on things like social media. Also, seasonal affective disorder is definitely a real thing.

I don't know why, but from some year, I start to feel really, really bad around the beginning of February. I think it's the worst month.
I wonder why, and if it'd ever change.

And yeah, I'd say Christmas, New Year, and holidays too.

 

[Lost in a Dream]

For me, it's almost all year long, but for some reason I feel better from about mid-September until the end of October. Probably because it's always been my favorite time of the year, but from November until September, being suicidal is pretty constant.

Christmas time was especially bad when my sister was crazy and that forced me to be near her. Luckily she has gotten more normal since having children, but thanks to my shitty childhood I still dislike christmas.

 

[FuneralCry]

Every second for me, as long as I'm conscious and aware I'll always hope and wish for death, to me human existence truly is the most undesirable burden that has only ever caused me to suffer, I'd never wish for the cruelty and futility of suffering in this existence. For me personally ceasing to exist truly would be the only relief, I'm always so tired of it all.

New Year's. Like, "another year goes by and I'm still X(miserable, alone, etc...)"

 

[SweetItalianS]

holidays mainly during winter, because the lack of sun and vitamin D makes your mood go down :(

 

[GalacticWarrior777]

For me it has to be from late october to mid december, with my most hated month inbetween; november. November brings me back only bad memories, no good ones. Not only was it the month when I was suicidal for the first time, but also the month in which ive lost a shit ton of friends and switched to becoming a completly closed, online, shy and anxious person that I still am to this day.

I'm not tied to any particular season or time of the year, but rather circumstances. It could be spring, summer, autumn, winter, or whenever, if things are shitty in general, it doesn't matter when or time of year for me...

 

[sunbleachedfliess]

fall for me, even though it's my favourite season my chronic illness gets much worse in the fall and i become actively (rather than passively) suicidal

 

[candy578]

It's definitely mid October up until just after New Years for me - I guess because of the approach of the holidays, seasonal issues and most of my bad life experiences being based around this time

 

[lalaloopsy]

i think both november/december time, because it's dark and cold and everything just feels meh, and the first couple months of the year, because the prospect of a wholeee other year coming is overwhelming. especially when it feels like nothing is changing, it's just gonna be another round of the same situations

 

[Done_with_the_world]

For me, it's Christmas because my grandma died on Christmas and I always keep thinking I want to visit her again. I don't want to survive on this planet without her. I've always missed her.

 

[vampire2002]

the autumn and winter seasons for me. ironically, they're my favorite. i love the darkness and the cold, they feel comforting in their sadness. spring and summer are too bright and hot. but i won't deny they make me feel more suicidal. although to me, this is just another positive rather than a negative.

 

[WholeHereafter]

fall and winter

Before christmast

 

[Emeralds]

I thought it would be in the wintertime and especially around the holidays. But apparently the most suicides occur in the spring and summertime.

Blue Monday

 

[nattys5thtoenail]

January-April

 

[divinemistress36]

Winter and summer for me. Most suicides happen in spring cause people have more energy to ctb in spring than winter

 

[nancyboy]

Fall and winter. Something about the drastic season changes. And it being overwhelmingly cold. I hate being cold

 

[theolivanderroach]

Probably winter because of SAD and how it's supposed to be the "most wonderful time of the year" but it's the worst for some lonely people.

 

[ThatStateOfMind]

I remember reading it was November and December. The most breakups happen around that time of the year as well. It's also months with huge family holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.) which likely have some feeling left out. Also my seasonal depression kicks into full gear in the winter.

 

[Marco77]

Suicides increase exponentially between late spring and early summer. In the time slot from 4 to 6 in the morning. In December/January you want to commit suicide more, but it takes a few months to realize it. This according to studies.

New Years Eve.
Another year older, poorer and uglier... nothing changed or any better... and still not done the ctb. Same frustrating and painful horror show every year.
Yep, it has to be New Year's for me.
