I stumbled upon the word "parasuicidal" not too long ago. To my understanding from looking through various sources, parasuicide is the act to deliberately self-harm oneself without being fatal. Therefore, is choosing methods that have low rates of succeeding rather than actual suicide, which is the act of intentionally killing oneself though more fatal methods such as many of the methods often seen here (SN and N being most common ones I've seen so far), often resulting in ctb. Appears to be that being parasuicidal is really synonymous with intentional self-harming and have be either suicidal intentions or not, with the previous be seen more as attempting suicide without actually going to ctb on purpose.
I often pondered that based on my past actions, that might be I'm actually be more parasuicidal than feeling suicidal. On purpose, one of my attempts was overdosing myself with around 50 pills of melatonin and 7 pills of 20g exitalopram when I used to visit my previous psychiatrist who "treated" my school/university anxiety issues, with both chemicals being hard to overdose. The thought of choosing a more dealier and painful methods leaves me unsettled and terrified as I have a fear of dying but also got a fear of living and going through an existential crisis simultaneously, which is really odd and bizarre state to be in, least for me. I have frequent suicidal and self-harm idealization which I find it, strangely enough, serene and peaceful. Must be really brave and having lots of courage to actually make a sucessful ctb.
I wonder if they're anyone who might feel the way I'm feeling similarly.
