Setting dates never work and will have the opposite effect in practice.
Most of us can't even commit to something like a diet or quitting smoking on a given date.
In my view its better to be gentle on ourselves, get rid of pointless deadlines and dates that only cause stress.
Only once all hope of getting better is gone will we CTB in that moment.
Good luck.
I agree with you. I know that setting a date increases anxiety and stress... Besides, that's why I didn't set one, I said just before the end of the year... it could be at any time...
but I always hope that with will, determination, perseverance and insistence I will eventually get there.
every day there are thousands of deaths by suicide in the world (I don't even count the attempts which are 15-20 times more numerous)
not all these people are supermen... all these people are very scared and have SI
the problem is that I can't ctb when I want...
I have to give a date and time so that eventually I can be granted access to the roof...
It would be much simpler if I could do it impulsively...
I have another way to get there on a very high footbridge but I have to book a driver 48 hours in advance.
but when I have an impulse I can't do it. now, right away I can jump but I can't...
