Suicide Dates

[GettingGone]

I have this habit of setting dates for my suicide. And I haven't done it yet, but I like to have a day that I'm "allowed to" I guess. It feels like a solution when everyday is bad.

Do y'all have a system into choosing your date? I work around appointments sometimes and make sure people aren't home. But I didn't know if people thought about it more or not.

I only really "set a date" once, and even then it was just a rough estimate. I was thinking the end of November 2024, that's the most specific I ever got.

I find setting a date freaks me out. It just makes the anticipation even worse counting down the days.

I chose my date for highly sentimental reasons. It's not too far away now, and although I'm growing more and more impatient, having it set at least gives me a target. Just gotta while away the days, constantly checking the calendar to see it get closer to the final day now

I set mine on my ex's birthday, two years ago. Ended up getting locked in a psych ward. Honestly I just want to die, I don't care about the date. Would like it to be before the end of the year when I turn 30.

That makes two of us who won't turn 30 this year! Always thought I'd die at 35, but 29 is just as good for me

I thought I'd kill myself at 27 like a rockstar, but turns out I'm not a rockstar, or an artist at all, that is just another one of my dead dreams. I'm fine with whatever date or time as long as I die and it's soon.

Basically all dates are of equal relevance, except for solstice or equinox. This were often the dates of human sacrifices and would be my choice.

I am the same here. I would usually give me a time period. If things do not work out, I will die. And for a date happens in the far future, I usually pick my birthday.

I've set dates before, but I find setting dates leads me not to do it... I've set a rough date before, like within the next week or something like that, but the same thing happens.

More than a date, I'm waiting for another 'great fall into the abyss'. I know I'll do it impulsively.

Yeah I've had a few dates, and my current D-Day is early next year on my next birthday.
The past dates pushed me to go "fuck it" and just go wild and try whatever I want, which did lead me to succeed in life in many ways,except in the "be normal human being with job" part which I still kept failing at, but I did do traveling, meet tons of amazing people, get new friends, achieve things I didn't think I could achieve, learned a lot of new things... I called those years my "suicide years", where I'd do things with more risky just because I wanted to and because I thought they'd help me get better.
Same story as usual, though. If I am in control of my life and can do things according to my rules and guidelines I am generally, but as soon as I have to adhere to society as a whole everything falls totally apart because society is just shit and sick for the most part.

I think I'm going to try to do it on my birthday if I can at all handle it. That way my family doesn't have two days a year related to me to remember, just one, and maybe that makes my death easier for them in some small tiny way.

I do that too. I figure it makes it so others don't have like another date to remember me by. Not the day I kill myself AND my birthday.

I get that. They say you're supposed to feel at peace or whatever. But I think it'll be more in the moment. No matter how much I "plan" it.

Completely agree with this train of thought.

No I don't have a date. It's more which day is the day that I cannot do it another day.

I pick my birthday for a different reason though. I was going to make my birth ironic and deny it.
