Is it normal to be happy when you know you're going to ctb?

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

When I think about ctb I find relief and sometimes I smile. Knowing that this will be over brings me comfort. Is it normal or am I very crazy?!

 

[Lostnotfound]

It brought me relief and enabled me to cope with situations that were beyond my control knowing that I had that exit at any time. Now the time is close I dont feel so calm however I supported someone to CTB yesterday and they were very excited

Yes, because you feel you are in control of your life and feel like once you ctb you won't suffer the injustices of this shitty world and won't have to put up with this fucking sick society anymore.

 

[a.n.kirillov]

sometimes I feel that way; it's a way of sticking it to the world and it's unjust laws. also it feels like a superpower at times, because you see all your peers so involved in life and all you can think is that they are rather pitiful creatures, chasing the cheese. But then again, I have felt this way since childhood and looked upon adults as basically idiots for taking their little achievements and games so seriously.
.
Sometimes I think I was born to ctb. Can you relate to that at all?

 

[highlyvolatile]

I felt the same honestly. When i first picked my date i was estatic. i was smiling the whole day and feeling really happy. i was thinking im glad it'll all be over soon. since then ive had to postpone it and has brought me down.

It's very natural for a person who's suffering to feel happy knowing they have the power to end their suffering at any time. Every time I remind myself that I have that option, I feel happy and at peace. When I think of suffering through another 20 or 30 or 40 years, I feel horrified.

Treat yourself right, stay clear of judgement. How you feel belongs to you. It must have a meaning. Use it at own discretion

 

[error_ratio]

I feel the same way. It's odd that a calm settles over yourself as the day draws closer. I think it has to do with the finality of it and the anticipation of relief from pain. Interesting post :)

I seem to be singing and whistling a lot lately.
I'm as cool as a cucumber!

I think it's connected to the belief of the person who's gonna die.
If you believe in nothing you should feel some sort of emptiness and quite and peace.
If you believe in after life, you may feel happiness and also peace

I guess I'm wrong, but that's what I'm believe in the subject

Classic telltale sign someone is suicidal is sudden improvement of mood after a lengthy depression. So they say.

That means you have really many of pain in your life and actually nothing can help that...

I am happy when I think about ctb. I think about the shit I did, and that led me to this attitude, and I find myself laughing because I know how to get out of this torment. I am master of my destiny and existence. kkkkkkkk

I felt almost euphoric when I first started planning and set a date. However, I realized the planning was more time consuming than I thought and the more I plan the more I get anxious that I haven't planned it perfectly. I am getting very OCD about it and cannot have it fail. Now I feel anxious and panicky and I set dates but I dont follow through because I feel like I need to research more. I have also changed my method a few times and still second guess my choice. Now I am in severe panic but I still want to do it. I just dont like the risk of failure. I would be screwed if I failed and had to get treated at hospital, I find COVID is making my life worse - more obvious that no one is checking on me - and I am more than certain I want to go. Like, NO ONE checks on me and I could have been dead weeks ago without anyone even knowing. I just need to feel empowered again by my choice. FUCK I wish overdosing would work. That would be my choice but I dont know how to get ahold of opiods. I am going to use CO but it does scare me. I have everything I need, I think. I wish I could talk to someone who would relieve my fears.

I love this quote by Friedrich Nietzsche. It is very true.

It's like a fail safe. Like, no matter what happens, you have this secret eject button that can get you out of any and every situation. Having a safety net like that can be good, and easy to start obsessing over. You really have to be ready to go if you want to operate like that though, otherwise you're just setting yourself up for more failure.

I have no current plan, method, or date. I'm just going to give in when I've had enough. I've failed forcing it so now I have to wait for it to come to me. I'll know when that time comes, so its comforting in the sense that if things get increasingly worse...I do have a way to stop it indefinitely.

I think just like that. you to the limit that I wait mentally and physically, because I already know that I have a quick answer. eat there surviving.

In my book, this is totally normal, you're gonna finally get peace by CTBing and that brings you joy and comfort. Live your best life! (I wish I was the same tbh, I worry about my problems more than CTBing)

 

[braketimez]

Someone else said to me a few days ago...there is a lot of peace that comes with knowing you are in control of your final outcome. That's something that will bring a smile or two.

That's my situation right now. My family has noticed a change in my behavior and thinks I'm getting better. They don't realize I'm so happy and excited because the day I ctb is getting closer.

Less happiness and more comfort , idk if it's just me but I just like t o pretend that I won't be alone in the end and that I won't be suffering anymore
