Discussion Those who imposively suicide..how do they do it?

[fkyou]

Those who impulsively suicide..how do they do it?..i second guess my ctb decision a million times..how do they not?..the idea that you'll end yr existence once and for all..the good parts of life.. it's true you are having big problems in yr life that push you to want to suicide..but..the idea that I'll leave everything I love about life is hard.so how do they do it?.
I consider an "impulsive" suicide what's performed after a short period of time.
The word 'impulsive' is a little bit degrading cause it assumes the person didn't know what he was doing.but we all know suicide isn't easy.it's not like someone who hang themselves didn't know what he's doing "with all the pain it involves".or whatever other method they used.

In my case I'm constantly wishing to do it but wanting to make sure everything's sorted (will, life insurance, declutter etc) before I ctb. But my ctb could end up impulsive because when I'm overwhelmed I forget about everything else and get braver. So far not complete obviously because I'm still here but my preparations are nearly done and I get overwhelmed nearly every day, then I'm done

yeah i can give you some insight. ive been in a train station after waking up feeling terrible and i was ridiculously close to jumping in front of the train, my body almost moved by itself. i obviously didn't do it but it seriously felt like my head just snapped from mental pain and went into some sort of out of body experience, almost like a high. my survival instinct completely disappeared and it was like someone was pushing me from behind onto the railtrack and i had to force myself to not get pushed. im guessing for others it's similar where it's sort of an out of body experience because survival instinct is STRONG. you rly need some sort of extreme mental break to escape it esp when it's a srsly impulsive method such as jumping/trains instead of SN

If something like a gun would kill me I'm going to do it. I'm impulsive with it because of the traumas I face internally and the pain of hiding from others pretending to be normal pulling the trigger isn't very hard. But if it's anything else I wouldn't I'd think plan and commit

This exactly. I have maybe DID traits and one part pushes in and gets me to call the crisis team when things get very close, but that part seems to be getting quieter and weaker....

Doing something impulsively is by definition an action without much forethought.
The mind narrows. All the "good parts" fade.
And they are left with desperation and determination.
It's not that they don't think about it.
It's that in that moment there is no place for reasons. Just the urge.

the idea that I'll leave everything I love about life

Well, some don't have much left to love.

I always wonder about this. Just how many suicides actually are that impulsive. Perhaps the act is but surely, they must have been having thoughts for a while. I imagine most people try to fix their problems before leaping to the idea of suicide straight away.

I guess it's different for everyone but I imagine the thought process to consider actually doing it has been established. In which case- how impulsive actually is it?

As for the act itself, I can see how someone would think that they would need to be in that frame of mind to actually do it. If it's a more violent/ scary method like jumping, I imagine you would need a more adrenalin fuelled wreckless moment to do it.

If your method is easy and fast... in a moment of crisis you execute it and everything is over.

There may be a situation where you're swept away into complete despair, and you just do it. Sometimes it's difficult to act rationally when mental pain/suffering consumes you.

It depends on how impulsive you normally are, whether you let yourself be carried away by your emotions or manage to control yourself.

When you've lost literally everything good in your life, exhausted every resource, and everything just feels like a nightmare you can't get away from. Imagine your deepest fear coming true, and then imagine something even more terrifying than that. The one thing you can't handle. And that's how impulsive suicides end up happening.

Most of the people who i heard killed themselves weren't in super strained situations.i heard someone killed themselves because their famille didn't let him choose the major he wants in university.meanwille some people struggle for long periods of times till we are exhausted and we still can't let go.
