Discussion Do you think people CTB more on the weekends or the week?

[Well_Its_Time]

I know I am more likely to do it between Friday night and Sunday

 

[human909]

I think the week since most people are distracted with work stuff which mean they wont find out until it's too late to stop us ctbing.

I feel like people are more likely to do it on the weekend? Considering a lot of people ctb on holidays it makes sense to me, but that's just my guess .

 

[MercenariesofMidgar]

Will do so on the weekday because it's convenient for my schedule. Either monday or wednesday, leaning towards wednesday considering my disdain mondays... thinking ill go in midweek

Monday

Monday Is for Suicide, But Sunday Is for Murder

The Centers for Disease Control calculated that, on an average day, 103 Americans die in car accidents, 121 commit suicide and 49 are homicide fatalities. But that's the average day. As it turns out people die differently on Monday than they do on Saturday.

i looked at the suicide data available for where I live once and the most common method is gunshot and the most common day of the week is tuesday, and most common time morning, before noon.

 

[Well_Its_Time]

Tell me why? I don't like Mondays.

 

[ShatteredSerenity]

I would rather do it on a weekday when there aren't as many people out and about at random times in the day, but I'm not beholden to it and I'm going to CTB when I'm ready to no matter what day it is.

I agree. It is just that no one will find me during the week or the weekend and the weekends are longer for me since the news and the stock market keep me busy. I lost my job last week which allowed me to keep my mind on that...but that too is gone for me and I have not applied for any jobs since my head is thinking about dying all the time
