How to overcome the instinct of self-preservation

[11April]

Hi all. I suddenly realized that the problem preventing me from leaving is not methods or anything else, it is, first of all, the instinct of self-preservation. Are there any ways to defeat him? Perhaps some pills or psychological practices.
So far, the only thing I have come up with is to indulge myself in everything that can somehow make life easier, like alcohol pills or delicious food.
Who thinks what?

Sorry, Google Translate.

I believe that many people who had access to a reliable method managed to go through with ctb when they got desperate/determined enough to do so, they just knew that it was the right time. I do envy those who succeeded as it really is so unnecessarily difficult to cease existing on our own terms.

 

[DEATH IS FREEDOM]

How to overcome the instinct of self-preservation (without the help of a physician) - there is nothing harder man have to do. The body is not created to kill itself. However, I believe that the bravest people with the worst pain do not need to ask this question. These people are in a state of fearlessness. Their pain is stronger than self-preservation. The bravest humans with the worst pain have already died by suicide and the cowards with less pain live on. Moreover, if we are in a situation of compulsion, where we must choose between suicide and worse options, suicide may become easier to carry out. For me, drugs have not worked, neither alcohol nor sleeping pills. I guess I am a coward. I have to change that! Self-preservation tries to force people to suffer for decades and die from old age. I think that the only solution is to remove the fear and replace it with courage. Fear is man´s greatest enemy. But anyone can do a brave act!

The problem is that I understand that I will commit suicide in a certain number of years. One year, two years, five years, ten years...?
It is possible that I will never have enough courage, then I will live my life without happiness and meaning and die as an old man (if I don't have a heart attack first). Therefore, dying now is a rational decision. I agree to suffer if there is a reason. But there is no purpose for which this can be done. However, my subconscious refuses to acknowledge this. And therefore, a primitive, animal fear of self-preservation is activated, which does not take into account human socialization and problems with it. This is a conflict between two stages of human development. I think this is due to the fact that man evolved too quickly.
We need to fight this primal instinct.

I'm struggling with this too and I think it is realizing that the instinct will always be there and never go away. There are ways to reduce it and "manage" it such as pills. I wonder if grounding would work too or something.

But just acknowledging that SI will be there and that you will never be 100% certain to go through with CTB.

SI is not real. It's a thing that we learn. We learn most things so it's possible to unlearn it. I wrote somewhere else on here https://sanctioned-suicide.net/thre...-act-like-suicide-is-easy.144833/post-2274449
It's not easy getting to a point where suicide is nice n easy but it's possible

I hope you are right. If you come up with any techniques, please share them. Perhaps there are medications that, after a certain period of use, will reduce fear? In other words, which will accelerate the neural changes that you wrote about.

Meditation, benzos, hitting rock bottom, physical pain. Best of luck.
