Discussion non-chemical ways to develop courage to part

[eremito]

If not by narcotic drugs, how can one overcome self-preservation instinct and have courage to take the final step?
I mean psychological, moral and mental methods.

Pilots flying

Space and beyond
Space, here we come

Kamikaze, kamikaze
You don't touch me!
Kamikaze
You don't touch me!

Space, here we come

I plan to CTB this evening. I've spent the day so far in a state of calm and feeling relieved. That might change this evening but I don't think it will. I know that this is what needs to happen and I'm happy that I don't have to wake up tomorrow to face the unending pain of it all.

My first attempt was not so peaceful. I was super emotional and ultimately failed due to SI.

I think if you have time to think about it beforehand and are absolutely certain then maybe it's easier.

I might update this tonight if I feel different!

My plan is to follow this https://wakeup-world.com/2016/10/25...s-instincts-that-dont-work-in-the-modern-day/ AND look at something that makes me lose hope in humanity, this might give me the courage to end it when the day comes

Yoga and deep breaths I heard can help, there is also loads of articles that tell you how to beat fight or flight (Survival Instinct) so I'll read some of those

Suicide can be very difficult as even know we want to die, we are programmed to survive. More than anything I wish that it was easier to leave all the pain behind and be free from everything. I think that many people get the courage to leave when they reach the point of desperation and the pain of living gets to be unbearable, all they want is to escape this world and they are determined.

However, of course I do not really know as I am still here after all. I do believe that if I had a guaranteed, peaceful way to exit this world, then that is what would give me the courage to leave. The fear of failure is what holds me back. We all deserve the option of a death which is like falling asleep and never waking up.
