Do you think your Suicide would set off a chain of suicides within your circle?

[Welcumtotherealworld]

Maybe one of them, but if he does I'm at least gonna have him with me wherever "the afterlife" leads.

 

[stellabelle]

One, unfortunately.
I am trying to hold on.

 

[LetMeGo]

Unfortunately I believe my father may follow... But either way, my situation isn't known yet. I didn't die, I think he may be pushed over anyways...

 

[Paranoid Mind]

Only thing holding me back from ctb is the likelihood of my mom killing herself.

 

[Misanthrope]

I am worried about a few people. I have been distancing myself on purpose but ultimately the damage is inevitable. I fear it may be enough to tip one friend of mine over the edge and derail the progress another is making. Thinking on it is just horrible because there is no way to mitigate any of it. At the same time though I can't go on living this way anymore either.

 

[Lost]

I don't think so. They all have their little happy life

 

[Final Escape]

No, at least I hope not. I doubt it. If I triggered suicides that would be lame lol! I'd be like, you seriously ctb because of me? I'm honored. Jus kidding!

 

[hablakadabra]

I fear both my depressed father and brother would kill themselves eventually if I did.

 

[Sixfeetunder]

I highly doubt it. Most, if not all of them, are pro-lifers.

 

[Crazy I]

While its not likely, my CTB will shock everyone that knows me. Its just hard to imagine someone that usually gives them advice and always looks happy be the one to die by his own hands. Dont get me started on my family, my parents and grandma is not mentally stable and i know that my parents are still alive just because me and my sister. So if one of us died by suicides i think they'll blame themself. Tbh thats mostly the reason i havent been hanging by a tree right now.

 

[BaconCheeseburger]

I don't think so. Most people I know are acquaintances who would just comment that it was sad. People would be super upset, but I can't see any chain reactions.

I know my brother has felt the way I do in the past, and because of his special needs he'd probably be at higher risk than most. He's the only person I imagine might have any ideas.

 

[TheRiverStyz]

Nah. I'm estranged from my family. My boyfriend is neurotypical and well-adjusted and has a solid group of friends, most of whom are also neurotypical and well-adjusted. Most of my mental health friends aren't suicidal, and the one who is has a pact with his own group of suicidal friends (they'll stay alive for each other or go together). They'd probably get over me pretty fast TBH.

I'll raise a cup up with you then. It isn't the way I want to pay back my father who took care of me while my mother left. But I am suffering too much I think. I'm just selfish I think in that way...

 

[MiserableBastard1995]

I'd realistically say my death would shock everyone, but parents and maybe one friend won't be as surprised. It might just wind up pushing mum or dad over the edge, but I'm not resposible for their emotions. If anything, that's what happens when you breed - it often works out poorly.

Like your Carlin quote

 

[Cookiedough8956]

I think most people would be shocked then shrug it off. Didnt matter then def wont matter after that.
I guess maybe like 4 people would be depressed
Commit suicide after me? Maybe like 1 out of the 4

 

[Jacquelyn]

circle meaning anyone who knows you. I think my death would cause at least one other person to ctb.

Maybe my girlfriend. Maybe my mom too, since she'll have nothing left after I'm gone. Just a shitty single-wide trailer and some animals. (I'm not concerned with my mom though, if she kicked the bucket tomorrow I wouldn't give it a second thought. She's very abusive)
I hope to put them at ease with a goodbye letter, explaining how this is what I wanted and that I wasn't really even depressed, and that my last days were filled with love, fun, and joy.

Yeah I can see that happening with the people around me. I'm very guarded with my feelings because I don't want them to be "concerned" about me and try to foil my plans or intervene. I also cannot keep living for fear of traumatizing them or just because they will be hurt by my death.

However, I believe it will come as a big shock when it does happen because it will be very sudden and they will likely be hurt. The best I can do for the people around me is just right before I ctb, send a delayed email or message to them and maybe leave a note (for first responders) with instructions on delaying informing next of kin or people around me until after they dealt with my body (cleaned it and froze it), thus mitigating damage.
