Well let's say I have been preparing mentally for a few months now, the first step being the choice of method, then visualizing the deed, even practising it if possible (yes I agree you cannot practise shoving yourself under a train...). I have been taking classes to learn how to relax, breathe and focalize on something, lowering your heartbeat in the process etc. so I can stay in charge of myself and not have last minute SI. I am right now putting my things in order, writing my will etc. so I can leave "clean" which for me is important, I don't want my death to cause a mess in the lives of other people. As soon as that is done I'll be ready. As for the day of the final act....well I like using drugs, alcohol as well, but I just think alcohol will make me to drunk to execute myself correctly so I do not want ot take the risk. But some drugs like amphetamines or cocaine for the right frame of mind, plus some aspirin to liquify your blood, plus some opiates and strong corticos for the pain....might come in handy ! I'm keeping stash of 'last day meds and drugs" around so I have them whenever I want to go ahead. But I think the most important prep is the one in your head beforehand, you just need to figure out whether you really want it or not. And that's really up to every individual human being, there's no one that can help you with that final decision !
