I would like to create a list that describes how far a person is from committing CBT when this decision is not made spontaneously. This list can be thought of as a staircase, and the higher the step number, the closer the person is to death.
1) Initial thoughts
Initial thoughts may include phrases like "I'm fed up with all of this," "I can't continue living like this," "it's unbearable." The person unconsciously seeks a solution to some problem but cannot find the right way to solve it, and that's when they come across the idea of CBT. The first watershed, the first major step, is overcoming the psychological barrier. This psychological barrier consists of societal influences or other received messages that CBT is unacceptable, and even thinking about it is forbidden.
2) Obsessive thoughts
Obsessive thoughts are a transition from brief episodes of contemplation about CBT during challenging life situations to a constant thought that literally fills the mind, regardless of what is happening around. Such thoughts consume the mental potential of the brain. The phrase "I don't want to live" or "I want to die" keeps running through their head.
3) Planning
Planning involves searching for information, verifying that information, and possibly consulting more experienced individuals. No physical actions are taken at this stage.
4) Preparation for CBT
When the person who contemplates suicide presses the order button and purchases substances in a store, or when they buy a rope and soap, it is precisely at this moment that they can be classified as being on the 4th step of the CBT staircase. It is essential to distinguish between the plan of action and preparation because there is another factor that can stop a person on their path to CBT, and that is the confidence in the plan's reliability. If there is no complete confidence in the plan's reliability, the person is inclined to continue searching and not buying anything, meaning they remain on the third step.
5) CBT
The person is entirely certain that there is no less painful way out than CBT, so they make the final decision and begin to commit CBT. This phase is relatively short, as it includes only the time during which active actions directed at CBT take place, such as taking medications, poisons, or jumping from a height. Specifically, it encompasses only the moment when the person steps off the ledge, not the time they spend in the air.
6) The person is already dead, but still alive
In the period following the fifth step, there is a gap in time during which the action of substances takes place or the time while the person is in the air. They are still alive, but their death is inevitable. The duration of the sixth step can vary, from 10 seconds (falling from a height) to two weeks (acetaminophen poisoning).
These are just my thoughts on this matter. Don't take them seriously.

if you have anything to add I will be very glad to hear your opinion whether you agree or not.
