What's the secret?

[throwaway123]

Okay, so I've seen a dozen goodbye posts now and I'm sick of it. Why can't I do it? What the hell is keeping me here? What is your secret guys? What made you overcome your survival instinct?

drugs and alcohol I guess. Or maybe truly hitting rock bottom.

Besides homelessness or a debilitating illness, I don't know what rock bottom is

It may seems strange, but failing. Last time i tried ctb it took me an hour to finally pass out. The first times i was scared, with so much anxiety, but doing doing over and over the knot helped me.
So that when i succeeded I took it lightly, as if I would not be able to make it.
(Hope you can understand, it was difficult to translate)

You really just hafe to be convinced of the utter hopelessness of your current situation, there are methods that a survival instinct isnt a factor at all. Survival instincts really only come into play when attempting something scary like jumping or getting hit by as train.

There's no secret. Ultimately, no one wants to die.

No secret but this list may help.

- Turn on the news (a station you don't agree with)
- Log onto facebook
- Look at yourself in the mirror
- Take a look at your bank account
- Watch an episode of The Kardashians

When someone is in a burning building you don't really ask why they jumped, they had to do it.

I think symptoms of (regular) depression make suicide less likely, because of lack of motivation, energy and clear thinking. There is a hypothesis that depression is so common in winter and in low sunlight regions (northern countries), because being sedative/inactive has a protective effect, it makes you less prone to take unnecessary risk. And that it's essentially the same behaviour you see in sickness.

You do need some physical and mental energy to actively end you life. People with mixed manic states have high suicide rates. And many anti-depressants actually increase risk of suicide, possibly because some recovery from depression gives people enough energy to end their life.

A study on suicide found that it generally requires three ingredients: a sense of alienation; fearlessness; and a kind of numbness to pain.

Sounds reasonable, I just need the fearlessness if thats the case

You have nothing that holds you back and being just tired. Tired of everything

Cutting ties with everyone.

My mind tries so hard. Hard sell that everyone truly hates me and would be better off with me dead. It does this, because I want out. I know that life can't be any good for me, but somehow it is for others. And they have fooled me into thinking they might need me around. They'll be fine without me, but I'm too stupid or maybe I have an inflated self importance. I am after all, a flawed pile of crap like everybody else.

Besides homelessness or a debilitating illness, I don't know what rock bottom is

To me hitting rock bottom is having no dreams/purpose/hope. I've been homeless before but I was happier then than I've ever been having my own apartment. Because I still believed I had a purpose then. I still had dreams. But once I knew my hope was gone no amount of money could make me feel as good as when I still had my dreams.

When life is painful enough then you have no instinct
