[SeenMoreThanEnough]

People who've made a serious attempt before, what gave you the courage to do it? How did you override the fear? Sedatives? Not thinking about it? I so badly want to go through with it but I'm feeling the fear and it's getting in my way. :-(

It's usually a very stressful/negative life event that makes your internal suicide 'thermometer' go way above maximum. See: Jumping from heights, stepping in front of train at the Subway station, etc. I feel like well planned out suicides are dwarfed by impulsive ones. JMO.

What gave me the courage to begin my attempt last time was that I was extremely determined and had been planning it out for awhile. But in the middle, I chickened out and aborted the attempt because I was afraid I was going to throw up.

Don't think, just do. Once you engage your brain you're fucked.

The problem is, we have to engage our brain for the plan to work.
