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

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."

I have no fear of death, just the pain maybe.

Not so much about the afterlife but- about the actual suicide process itself, I try to tell myself- maybe it won't be so bad. Maybe I'll pass quickly. Hopefully, it won't be as bad as gallstones.
