Don't worry about the darkness and nothingness, it will just be like going to sleep. Do you worry about "darkness and nothingness" every night when you go to sleep? If not, then why worry about it when dying? If anything, it will be even better than sleep because you won't get nightmares. Also, what's 15 mins of slight discomfort for an eternity of bliss?Weirdly, I'm really getting a lot more afraid than I anticipated. I also keep reading bad stuff on here about the SN method that I hope is not true. From suffocating in my saliva to gagging so loud I'll sounded like a dying cat which may cause the hotel to hear me. And finally, the darkness and nothingness. I respect everyone's wishes beyond this life but total darkness and/or nothingness freak me out.
Tell me something good about the SN method today, please? Restore my resolve to do it without fear. I know a few undercover lifers will continue to terrify me with their comments but I'm hoping a few can say something good about the method
In all seriousness though, I totally empathize with your fears. I too am very scared of killing myself and it's one of the main reasons I haven't managed to do it yet. Maybe you could come up with a strategic date or something to give you accountability? I attempted on New Year's Eve, thinking that if I fucked up, I would be much less likely to get saved since the nurses and doctors would be extra busy with drunk patients. Because I knew New Year's Eve was my only opportunity to take advantage of this, I forced myself to attempt. The urgency of it kind of numbed the anxious part of my brain and put me in a hyperfocused, productive state -- I methodically went through my ctb checklist, almost as if I was going through a studying checklist for an exam. I don't know if that would work again though. At this point I'm just hoping that D comes back so that I can get N. Getting N will probably be a lot less scary than SN. In either case, I'll be sure to have a playlist of my favorite songs ready, as that will probably distract me from fear or pain while I ctb. I'll try to make the experience as pleasant as possible.
