I'm sorry I don't have any experience but I will try to do it soon, I actually have a question as well. But in my theory, SI is something you can never escape basically, we are built to avoid CTB but I think that people who are truly suicidal and have no reason to stay, can overcome SI but not caring, that's my theory :P but my question is that does everyone regret doing their method? Like if they jump or drink SN?

there are actually some golden gate bridge survivors that regretted jumping. there are videos and articles that talk about their experiences.
not entirely sure about SN. i know there are some that call ems on themselves.

For me personaly its not that hard, maybe its due to my isolation and circumstances, but i just have to think about depressing things and go on a lonely walk as example and my si is gone..
maybe it has to do with the (spiritual) concept of the ego, which is said to keep us safe from dangerous situations.
If this theory is true, it would make sense, since i mostly feel drawn to ctb at nights

I think you just do it.
Like Nike's old slogan.
It's probably shitty to have to do alone but if that's what it boils down to.

I have tried several years ago when I thought overdosing on pills would kill me. I tried 3 times. All 3 times I got drunk before because it definitely lowers your inhibitions making it easier to be impulsive.
Now that I'm more knowledgeable, I plan to ctb by partial hanging. I'm not sure when, but I know I'll get drunk and take some benzos to help overcome SI.

Overcoming SI is very difficult. SI is all that is stopping me, yet I do not understand why or how. I have considered using medication to try to overcome the anxiety of SI. In my mind slipping the noose around my neck and stepping off seems so easy and strangely something I really want to do. Yet there is what I guess is SI stopping me. I don't know if any of us really has the answer on how to overcome SI. Lots of people offer opinions and suggestions but they all seem easier said then done. For me, my method is planned. I just need to be able to make my plan happen.
I couldn't do something that would cause physical pain, like cutting, anything involving needles etc. I imagine I would be unlikely to jump, as there is a chance, no matter what height, that death would not be instant (I knew a guy who had a double malfunction on a skydive and survived, death isn't even certain). I tried an overdoes, so it was drinking a less than pleasant drink. I had no trouble at all actually drinking the substance, because even though I knew it would kill me, I believed it wouldn't hurt me. If only drug overdoses were as fatal as they appear in the media.
I know what's coming in life will be worse than CTBing, I have my method ready, I feel ready and yet I still can't do it. I've been trying for a month or two now. That's some impressive ninja SI, that can both push me to go and hold me back simultaneously
