Do you want to survive?
How long will you last?
Will it be better to die in the blast or face the horror of nuclear fallout over a drawn-out period?

I have a location that should keep me safe from the worst, I have 12 month supply of food and a water source designed for such an event, depending on how much wind and sunlight there is I should be warm dry, lit and ventilated.
But I'm not sure I want to live under those conditions and after 12 months will life be worth living anyway.
FWIW I don't see this happening this time.

A guy pushes a button...okay what is he launching? Kilo or mega tonnes? Where is it pointing and what does it hit?
You know much of this stuff is survivable, right? Where is the strike point or points? What is the yield? How far away from the mess are you? Which way is the wind blowing? Is it raining? All this matters. Best advice - get your arse indoors and do not go out for a few weeks. If you HAVE to go out, then take all outer layers off (thin plastic decorator suits are best) bag them and bury them well away from where you live and shower gently - do not scrub your skin, do not make it bleed, do not use conditioner - just wash gently with a tiny scraping of soap. Bag the soap remnant and bury it - not where you live. Take your Potassium Iodide daily. Eat what you have stored in the house. Do not panic. Drink your apple juice.
Unless some deranged manic starts flinging hypersonic equivalent of Tsar Bomba at us - I think we'll manage.
You are a human being. You are amazing. Your ability to not only manage but to get through and excel is amazing. Do not sell yourself short. Do not despair. Do not worry.
You posted here. Many of us have considered this same thing. Many have already taken steps. Even if the very worse happens, you will find pals who did the same as you - don't eat each other guys! Life always finds a way. Listen to your heart ... unless it says eat other folks in which case feel free to kill yourself.
