Could MDMA help with SI

[0dysseus]

Could MDMA potentially help get over SI? I'm asking for hanging

I've been on MDMA, and I think it's quite unlikely you'd still want to hang yourself when you're high on it.

I've read elsewhere that it does inhibit SI however. I guess there's one way to find out..

Can't speak to MDMA, but LSD reduced my fear of death, or of suicide, after taking a large enough dose to trip. I haven't taken my life yet because it also had the side effect of giving me a new perspective on life and death in general and that I don't need to die in this moment, but I know that for a week or two afterwards (with some persisting to this day) it generally reduced my fear of death to the point where I didn't feel any fear or nervousness about driving out to my intended location and ending my existence. But I do believe this effect was due to the perspectives gained from being on a sufficient dose of psychedelics as many have talked about elsewhere (on the internet, at least) rather than LSD reducing survival instinct.

You won't kill yourself while on MDMA, because you will feel far too happy for wishing to die. Maybe if you take MDMA repeatedly in a short amount of time, the crash in the days afterwards may make it easier to ctb. There is actually the phenomena of "suicidal tuesday" as party goers who take MDMA all week-end for dancing come down in the following days and have a serotonin deficit that is worst on tuesday, causing an increase in suicide rates on tuesday for these people.

I know I've been on it before myself. Although my situation is different, I'm not depressed, I'm phisically ill, and deteriorating, I've known for long it's the right thing to do. Actually, maybe doing it while thinking happy or empathic thoughts would biohack of sorts, and would make things much more peaceful.
