How do severely anxious people pull off ctb?

[Ambivalent1]

It must be hardest for them.

As someone with generalized anxiety disorder, it is awful. I really want to die but I feel like my anxiety will not let me do so. Scared of everything.

I have severe anixety. It is actually one of the reasons that i CTB because living with it daily not different than hell. I will gather up my courage for the last time and end it all

Our ultimate test.

Yeah, it's awful. My anxiety makes everything feel impossible, even ctb at times.

Maybe those who succeed just get determined and have access to a method that they feel confident in, I guess that desperation might allow people to overcome anxiety and successfully free themselves from all the suffering. But suicide is too difficult in this world, what I would fear most is a suicide attempt failing just leading to more suffering as a result.

I sometimes wonder whether a lack of knowledge helps people CTB. The more information you gather, the more chance you have of seeing something off-putting and excusing yourself from that decision for another day?

I feel the same ! Since I'm on this website, I think I'm more afraid to attempt anything, reading aaall it takes to CTB "properly".

i agree with this. people were successfully CTB'ing long before they had resources and detailed guides on how to do so. impulsivity is potentially a factor.

Go to a place far away from people so even if you scream for help no one will come. This is exactly what I will do, I know once I drink the SN I will try to seek help.

Indeed. Just choosing a method can seem overwhelming, let alone the details of the specific said method. However, for some I think the more hours they research and test, the more they're able to justify the risk I.e. too much time sunken into something can prove powerful in itself.

Absolutely. For me, spontaneity is key. I don't know how I'll feel tomorrow, so there's no point pretending to make any postponed plans. Overall, knowledge has been power, but as an anxious person, it's definitely detered me too. I can't undo what I've read, but I'm grateful in at least that it's stopped me from trying something futile in the future. It's nice to know the odds right. I see it all as a process of elimination and whatever is left is what will be..
