You found out you have a week to live.

Reconscope

Supreme Citizen of ZV
What would you do?

Me? I would go out on my favorite trail each day.

Binge watch a series watch 1st 2 episodes then skip 3 after that binge it whole.

Watch 3 movies (theater or home) i like even they are watched already.

Sight seeing certain spots.
 
I have no idea what to do then.....I guess i would do the same things as before
I see. Thats interesting to hear keeping routine.

Oh i know another thing also, looking at puppy/kitten stores with all those fresh curious faces.
 
Giving out my various gsme accounts like steam, epic and the like to friends who would use them.
Tie up the last loose ends with certain family members who choose to make sure i know im hated and will ammount to nothing.
Make sure my 2 cats have a better place to live with my entire life insurance giving the rest of their lives anything they ever need in the hands of someone who will care for them.
Spend the last week with the only two real friends (my cats) who i will never see again.
On the last 24 hours i destroy everything i owned that the cats cant use and cant be donated to the less fortunate.
In the last hour i do all i can to go out a martyr for freedom, im going to die anyways, might as well make someones future a little less hell.
 
But being there's only a week to live. You're probably too ill to do anything anyway so it would be too late for everything and anything
Some people wanna be remembered fondly but given your current state of mind i understand why you feel as such.

No I'm just being realistic in the question. Week to live.= you're fucked up and probably not going to be able to do much if anything..
It's like my erectile dysfunction eventually it's just going to be too late for anything.
Everyone has their own timeline and well the ex's expired on July 1st.
Yeah thats what i mean though. Everyone reacts differently to that crisis.
 
It's not what he said it's what he did. And that is being further compounded by a lot of things being flaunted in my face. Non of it is sitting right RN. And it's now clear to me that there's people who have known me long before I joined the community Soo I fail to see why everyone is staying away from me as a zoo.
But im not the "everyone". Sometimes we have to let go of things that are harmful no matter how addicting it is. Unless your a masochist where those rare ones enjoy such negative treatment
 
Nobody is staying away from you as a zoo, they're staying away from you for being stuck on one issue. I don't want to derail another thread because of it either so best advice I can give would be.... if you have a week to live, giving a shit about other people who have done you wrong is a waste.
 
this one honestly hits close to home... 😢
i got myself close to this scenario when i was 13... and all the bullying, abuse, arguments at home and lack of help got the better of me, and i decided 'heck, everyone is better off without me. Even myself, 'caus i don't want to live like this anymore'..

I read or heard somewhere that when suicidal thoughts turn into making actual plans, you are scaringly close to doing it.
I remember it went pretty fast as well; i started thinking about it on a monday or tuesday... and by friday i figured out i wanted to try to enjoy at least the weekend, and call it quits by monday-morning, before i had to go to school again.
And i did all the small things; read my favorite book again, looked through my old photobooks, trying to recall better times, listened to my favorite songs. Because we only had a single tv in the livingroom, and my parents mostly decided what to watch, i snuk downstairs at 3 am or so, and watched my favorite movie for the last time, with headphones in as to not wake anyone up.

Obviously i'm still here (when you're standing close to a highway and trucks race by you so close, they suddenly look quite scary), but it did inadvertently give me an actual experience of 'what would you do when you're end is near'.

Sry that i may've spoiled this thread with a downer of a story.. 😔 to make up for it though, and to offer some perspective to the idea of 'what do we do when we die', let me quote Brandon Lee who in turn quoted Paul Bowles;

Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well.
And yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really.
How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four, or five times more? Perhaps not even that.
How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty.
And yet it all seems limitless..
 
I think I'd need time to process and go through absolute fear and depression first. Then swim a lot, eat all of my favorite foods, love, call everyone close to me just to say hi, pray for a miracle or something.

Seriously? Your going to die in a week and that’s the best/all you can come up with?? That’s fucking pathetic. Like, you make many shitty posts, but I think this is up there with the dumbest…
If I’m dying, I can think of many things I’d do, and on my last, I’d be taking someone like Trudeau with me, and do the world a favour.

There is nothing here for you to judge. If someone wants to sit and do nothing at all, for example, that's their choice, not yours.
 
I would probably very rapidly write my memoirs and autobiography and then post them in several places across the immortal internet so that I would be remembered by at least a few dozen random people after I died.
And probably try to complete a few projects I am working on very fast and then publish those as well, no matter how broken of a state they are in.
Most people would probably just see it as a random oddity, but at least it would be out there for people to see for a few decades to come.
And I won't be completely forgotten.
 
If we're playing hypotheticals here:

1) Find a good loving home for my doggy gals.

2) Let everyone in my immediate family/friend circle know of the grim news.

3) Draft and try to finalize a will.

4) Go out and see some sights with family and friends while I'm still here.

5) On the last couple of days, as long as everything else is sorted, do a bunch of hard drugs that I'd never even think of touching because fuck it, I'm going to die anyways. Might as well go out with a bang... or... rather a bong. Lol
 
I'd update my will and paperwork (accounts, ID, etc), ensure there's a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) on file, then spend the remaining days helping the dogs setting in.
Make all the arrangements so my corpse is handled without leaving that as a stress for others.
No parties, no last minute trips, just spend the last days with them; most of this is already done...not expecting this is my last week, but not many do when it is.


1) Find a good loving home for my doggy gals.
I think it's important that every zoo with companions have a list of at least 3 people and contact info that they put with their will and documents.
You don't want cousin Jeffrey getting your dog because the family/heirs didn't know who to give them to, do your companions right and pick them yourself and talk to them so they know. Have a couple so that if one can't take them (maybe they died in that fiery car crash with you) there are other options. Put that list with the stuff below....

3) Draft and try to finalize a will.
Save your heirs some grief and do this today. I review mine every new year, update accounts and docs as needed, write new letters to friends and family that didn't have one or need a new one and store it all together where it will be found. If you have specific disposal desires, make it clear (mine is to do it as cheaply as possible). Anyone who's ever had to close someone's estate will recognize how this will make their job a whole lot easier.

First , I would do something good to someone in need. For example I would give my jacket to a homeless person.
After that I would go to eat, drink and fuck very unresponsive!

I understand that, but that’s literally everyday life things that you should be doing to enjoy yourself. People shouldn’t neglect themselves from the simple things in life like this.
There is also a lot more behind that response. I’m not just responding to some random thought posted in the anonymous wishes.
 
One week to live?
1/3 would be sex, sex, sex.
1/3 would be helping as many people as possible.
1/3 eating, and short little catnaps here and there.
That's my plan, and I'm sticking to it. You do what works for you.

Guys, forget it.
Last night I had a nightmare.
An asteroid on the way to Earth, to wipe out the entire life on the planet and we had only one week.
All I have done in my dream was to be angry as hell, planning with friends how to deflect the asteroid from its path - knowing at the same time, that we don't have any chance.
My waking up, understanding that it was only a dream, was better than orgasm.
 
Well, Since I only would have 7 days to live.
And Im probably going to Hell anyway's according to the christians.
I would buy a Gun with lots of Ammo.
And drive around shooting all those fools who blast there crap rap music sky high from there cars.
And probably shoot all the jehovas witnesses on the corner and any street beggar.
Hopefully, Im never told Im terminal and dying soon. 🙃
