i think i found a trick to get past Survival instinct

[xXSufferingXx]

if ever i were to do it, and SI kicked in, i would probably just think:
"think of all the future pain and suffering that is pretty much guaranteed to keep happening for the rest of your entire life,
compared to this brief pain for a few moments".

it's all in the numbers.

I keep telling myself this.

SI beat this for me. I think alcohol will get me past it. Combined with thinking about the pain.

Idk I think "SI" is multifarious so the effectiveness will vary depending on the person

 

[knowledgeseeking]

I have always thought of SI as more of a base almost animal instinct and not as something that is rational. I hope you are right and it does turn out to be something that you can logic your way around.

Yeah, I wish the dying process were only a few moments though.
