I've got alot of people I've promised that I won't off myself. Those promises were mainly what got me through the dark times.
I set up a plan a while back now. Once I hit an age where I feel pain all the time, I'll start evaluating whether I'm getting enough enjoyment out of life to continue. If I decide it's time, I start getting my affairs in order. Getting closure with folks, having some good final talks with folks, giving the advice I can, documenting that I know that I haven't documented yet, distributing my things, etc.
At the end of it, if I still feel like going, I'll get my N2 tank and respirator and find a nice place to sit.
I've given myself 30 years for my first raincheck. Might push it up if things get real bad, but it's pretty alright ATM so I don't think I will RN.
