Best forms of overcoming SI.

[CTB Fella]

I'll start us off:

Alcohol.

Music.

Video.

Isolation.

Meditation and mindfulness never gets brought up but it's literally the most effective technique to eliminate SI and has been practiced for hundreds of generations

 

[FuneralCry]

Being desperate or very determined to die, in my view I believe this might allow people to overcome any survival instinct if they have access to a reliable suicide method. But of course I understand that the survival instinct is separate from logical thought, it's an instinct to survive after all.

weed

 

[CTB Fella]

Stopping medication.

Personally I think any of those things have a high risk of making us high or happy temporarily and setting the SI into overdrive.

I think things that impact the future self are better forms. Increase hopelessness etc.

Things like breaking friendships, quitting job, using up money etc.

Benzos. But then when you take them you think life isn't so bad

I already did all this. No more hope left.

Haha alcohol similar, or the grief of all my lost potential rises up and I'm like "NO GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE" .... so many times I drunkenly got one more chance and I would not be here to say this if I could've held my resolve but every time I was like "noooo come ssaaaave meeeeee" damn

 

[CTB Fella]

Chanting.

I literally get myself into a higher state of consciousness.

With alcohol, there's a fine line.

You have to drink enough, to trigger you, then ACT.

Drink too much and you fuck it all.

I also think I've been lacking emotional clarity.

I need more chants to clear up the last of my grief. Acceptance will help

Just swapped meditation for chants for fun :), same mental practice different paths

Keeping the time between the moment you decide to the moment you end it as short as possible.

 

[DEATH IS FREEDOM]

Drugs are the best way to overcome survival instinct.
