I really thought about suicide very much in my life. I've noticed it comes closer when time passes. But what i do not really fathom people who can commit suicide without thinking a lot about it. I do not judge this but for me this is unimaginable. I think really a lot about the consequences of failing, i look at statistics. Do you think there are many people who do it without thinking much about it or is that a myth?

I'm sure some people do it on an impulse, but usually the decision to ctb comes from a long time of suffering and from what I've heard, a lot of research goes into it.

The problem is if you think about the consequences you'll back out of it because there's just too many, I think this is why some people just go for it when they're at their lowest. Survival Instinct is a bitch, I'd do anything to suppress it.

It is hard to fathom but suicide can be impulsive. There's a phenomenon where the brain kind of 'snaps' and you find yourself in some kind of severe altered state of consciousness and absolutely need to ctb. It can also be like a very high and unbearable rush of anxiety that leads to the same result. Like an extreme urge of feeling relief, sometimes also relief from terror.
I have personally experienced that kind of thing when I started to take an antidepressant. That's why they can be very dangerous in the beginning of the treatment.

My highest suicidality was also when i took an AD at the begining. I was really impulsive.
I wish I could be impulsive about it. I've spent years thinking about it everyday. I agree, it can get in your mind about the consequences and the people it can affect, and survival instict is a bitch. I feel like I am finally getting to the point I can push all that away and actually do it, I made a promise to myself I will do it this year and I am going to keep that promise. Maybe I will have it all planned out, or maybe I will "snap" and just do it one day, Who knows, but the end result will hopefully be the same. I am gone.
You either accept the consequences and deal with it if you fail or you deal with life and accept that this is how it'll always be, minus a few changes here and there that could improve things. Acceptance of your fate will trump survival instinct. There's YOLO, I call it YODO (You only die once)

Like with many things there needs to be a balance of balls and brains on this one. For example: If you think that a carefully executed full suspension is too risky, then you might be lacking in the "balls" department. If you're completely sure that you can get the job done with whatever garbage you have in the house (kitchen knife, sheets, bleach) then you might be lacking some "brains".

I think it has to do with the fact that they may have been thinking about it for a longtime, it just takes a " trigger." to finally release that thought into reality. It may have been in their throughout for a while, until something happens that causes them to be " done.', with everything, so it may seem impulsive in practice, but is actually a final push in hindsight.
Anything around you can be used to kill yourself, but how much consequence does that method entail and how willing are you to accept it. I think most in this community care about their methods since they want low consequence or none at all, plus painless if possible. You can use a filet boning knife to sever your jugular, but you won't want to use a bread or santoku knife (not pointy enough). Prisoners been using bedsheets for decades to hang themselves, so that's possible. Drinking bleach, anti-freeze, or any corrosive chemical is painful, but will lead to eventual death. Self-immolation is incredibly painful, but been used as a method of suicide for centuries. Running into a wall head first at full speed can lead to a massive headache or a broken neck.

Some do it on impulse, which they may or may not succeed. It just depends on how far beyond the breaking point of not caring.
For some of us on here, we're prone to overthinking. That's basically why I'm still here... granted, I want to be the one hit wonder, and to do that, I have to verify my method will work perfectly as I intended.

Many of us I believe!
Depression comes along with anxiety.
Anxiety produces overthinking tendencies.
Overthinking nurtures SI.
....Life's fucking sneaky in its way of preserving itself!

I agree with you.
Everybody should think about the consequences such as eternal trauma for your family, maybe some debts, what method is the "less" painful for them (it's not the same a body in a bloody bathtube in your parents house as finding someone hang in a hotel room), etc.
Also, the consequences of failing. I failed last year and I didn't imagine the hell I had to go through. (almost a psych ward, covid, one month in hospital and 5 months a "prisoner" in my parents' house).

I'd say the prisoner part is the worst implication. Pretty sure what I've read on attempting and failing suicide attempts is that parents or family doesn't treat you better. They just double down on the harshness and will likely use your past suicide attempts against you.
committing suicide or whatever it is
If you think too much, you can't act upon it. And if you are really going to commit suicide, I don't know what the point is to consider the consequences a lot because you will do it no matter what the consequences would be. Considering consequences mostly relates to why you do not, will not do it at least for the time being.
