Those of you who plan to ctb, what methods are you using or plan to use to overcome your SI?

[Silent_cries]

Mostly just curious, but also looking for ideas I can use to fight my own SI.

 

[Praestat_Mori]

Honestly I hope in the case of an attempt I'm in so much desperation and hopelessness that SI will be easy to defeat. My method of choice is CO (or if I can get hands on certain drugs/meds I'd use an OD) both methods may not have a very strong SI as basically it can be arranged like going to sleep. That's my strategy for now.

 

[qw3rty259]

When you'll be really ready, there will be no need to fight it, so stop pushing yourself I guess. Personally I think that hanging is the best way. Once it's done - there is no way of coming back (if you planned everything well of course)

Alcohol as a precaution, but I already know how to get myself in ''the mood'' in order to make sure I push through it with determination

SUBSTANCES
I know lots of people don't feel like they need them, and can ctb just through sheer willpower. Personally though, I have a pretty anxious disposition, which has pulled me back from the brink of dying several times

Next time i attempt I will be as sedated as I need to be to not freak out when I ctb

What substances? btw I liked your cat pfp, it was cute

 

[Forveleth]

I'm planning to do full suspension where I will pass out almost immediately so hopefully that will take care of it.

I did have a precious attempt foiled by SI (automatic after I was already unconscious) and, in hindsight, I probably should have handcuffed myself to possibly prevent it.

 

[rozeske]

Some sort of benzo

Depends on the method I end up using. Alcohol is a really good one, but it doesn't really go well with N or SN.
In that case, I'd go with weed and pills, I've tried Xanax a couple times and it was really nice :p

Also that's my Roomate's cat he's a shithead but he's really cute

 

[Unknown21]

Since I don't have any access to benzos and can't use alcohol SN, etc. I will have to fight an epic battle with my survival instinct, I don't think it will go completely and I don't think I will ever be 100% ready. So I will try to go through it when the SI is relatively low. I will always remind myself of my reasons and my miserable life in order to strengthen my resolve.

 

[Ash]

When I meant it but it failed I my SI was so quiet it might as well have been silent. But I do have a few benzos which I may or may not use.

 

[mtoro998]

Im hoping that my anti anxiety meds will help with that.

 

[billie]

I will overcome my SI without alcohol or drugs

 

[72shane]

I'm thinking lots of vodka, no sleep for a night before, then crawl in my tent with my burned down charcoal. Was planning SN but it's sounds complicated to get what's needed. I'm als9 building a firearm but really don't want to go out like that.

 

[WaitingAllMyLife]

I never used to worry about SI. It wasn't even a thought in my head. But after finding this site, it started to terrify me. The one thing I have found that helps is rephrasing it in my head from suicide/killing myself to just going to sleep forever. One sounds so violent and final (which I appreciate, but my inner brain goes to town with) and the other, so peaceful.

 

[Ernest1964]

I have never ATTEMPTED suicide. I have no intention of attempting suicide. When I CTB, I will succeed. I suppose that, as a Buddhist I will meditate and get myself into a state where my mind is not thinking or obsessing over anything. I would take the Meto. a few hours a head of time, Open and pour out the two bottles of N into a large glass, put the nose plug over my nose, drink down both bottles fairly quickly, and follow the N with something sweet (I've read that Bailey's Irish Cream is suggested, though I don't drink alcohol so I wouldn't know). I would then lie down in bed and...

 

[gabmor4]

Por el momento estoy planificando utilizar el estrangulamiento de sangre o benzos. Quiero algo tranquilo (¿?) y que no impacte tanto a la persona que me encuentre, quien sea. Estoy en un departamento compartido, así que son las mejores opciones, supongo.

Translate reply (I used Cambridge translate):
At the moment I am planning to use blood choke or benzos. I want something quiet (?) and that doesn't impact so much the person who meets me, whoever it is. I'm in a shared apartment, so they're the best options, I guess.

 

[Ww42]

Depends on the method. Alcohols the #1 SI depressant for most cases. Thats why something like 70% of suicides have had alcohol in their system at the time of their death

 

[LunarGirl]

Also curious on this, tried to go a few years back (suspension hanging cutting off blood flow) and as I started blacking out my SI took over and stopped me. Annoying that my body wants to fight my brain...
