Do you talk about your end of life plans with anyone?

[Not_Quite_Dead_Yet]

Just wondering if anyone else is left to mull over their thoughts by themselves. My friends and acquaintances don't want to hear or talk about it, one even e-mailing "I am not going to deal with your end of life bullshit." I have a therapist but am wary of saying anything to her, lest she feel some kind of action needs to be taken for my own protection. It feels very isolating.

Unless you know someone IRL that you know you can really trust, like actually trust, and is pro-choice... Then here is your only safe place I'm afraid.

Would never talk to my family and friends about my plans 100% they would try to get me committed or I would get the classic "you're so young, you have so much to live for!" Which would only make me feel worse

Imo the path to suicide is usually a very lonely one

I've told people about my suicidal thoughts, but I didn't tell anyone about my plans or what methods I would use.

No place other than here, it won't help anyways, ctbing is the only way out, neither family nor friends can help with my situation, something unexpected happens and ruins your life forever!

The closest to telling someone irl for me will be on my CTB day a couple hours before I do it someone I've known for 14 years tell her I love her and I'm sorry for not being better for her hopefully have one last really nice phone call. But if she doesn't react how I expect well she doesn't know my current address so I'll CTB long before anyone shows up.

If i do end it knowing is stopping me it's too much of a risk to tell anyone. Nobody is to be trusted even if you think they are.

only with people of the forum, no one else can understund

yeah I tell my coworkers if I ever don't show up it means I'm dead; they seem to enjoy my humor...

 

[not_a_robot]

lol the only people I've told IRL have told me to do it because they hate me. Which was dumb, because now I hold on just to spite those fuckers.

Most of the people who describe themselves as your "friends" are just people who you can never tell how you really feel because they wouldn't understand. It will be that way your whole life, and it is that way for everyone. Friends are just acquaintances who pretend to care about you because they want something from you.

If you want some people you can tell how you really feel, well then, Welcome Home, little buddy.

Pretty much no. That's why I am here. To talk and sort out the feelings.
