How do you plan on overcoming the survival-/self-preservation instinct?

[Vvoiid]

It's the only thing holding most of us back. Would be nice if you could share any ideas.

 

[Gray Wounds]

I have no plan in particular. But what I do is kill it, erase its existence by intensifying the tempest of coveting death inside me.

I know that alcohol helps me. I almost did it a while ago while drunk but then I backed out because I didn't want to burn the house down and kill my neighbours.

Back when I attempted for the second time and was already on the floor I tried to push away every thought that could have made me feel regret. I simply kept telling myself that I was going to find peace, not giving me a chance to think about something that would make me want to live. Going to that again - just keep myself from thinking too much.

My method is pretty non threatening seeming so I'm hoping that helps. Couple of deep breaths and you are out so hopefully it won't be as strong as a more violent method would be.

 

[Tiburcio]

Alcohol doesn't seems to be helpul for me.

I'm really worried for the next time, the survival instinct ruined all my previous attempts.

 

[Threads]

Alcohol tends to help.

That instinct is protective trait that you have evolved to have. You have to overcome it, you can't really just shut it down.

Like many have already said liquid courage is the only way I can think of

What methods have you attempted?

 

[Volatile]

Mostly hanging and its varieties.

Why not jump while intoxicated?

 

[Volatile]

I know myself, I never could be able to jump.

Do you feel very in touch with reality? Everything seems a little unreal and dreamlike for me which should make jumping doable for me.

Yes, do you think my fear can be related with it?

If reality seems very real to you, then your fear would be heightened at the thought of jumping.

Vodka (alcohol makes me reckless) and the last broadcast of my favorite radio presenter who killed himself in 1999.
Every time I listen to his broadcasts I get so god damn sad, it should help me when the time comes, whenever that may be.
