Are there any lies you tell yourself to help with SI/fear of death?

[Enyan]

So... as stupid as it sounds, I've recently started telling myself that once I die, I'll be reincarnated in a fictional world and live a long, happy life with a character I really like. I rationally know that it's bullshit and will never happen, but the more I delude myself into thinking it's the truth, the calmer I feel about dying.

So now I'm wondering whether anyone else on SaSu is doing something similar? Not the fictional part, just the whole "telling yourself (good thing) is going to happen after death so you don't feel as scared about it."

When I've tried I imagined being me but in completely different circumstances... Like I just killed the parts of me that were undesirable and wanted to die.

But I think my one "successful" attempt (hanging where I blacked out and am only alive because of getting jostled), was a "don't think about anything other than doing this step by step and just commit commit commit. It doesn't take long to pass out so just a few moments of not even trying to get over SI/fear of death was more effective than anything hopeful thing to feel better about it
