Best ways to overcome SI?

[antilife]

Hi everyone. My problem is that I haven't been able to overcome SI. It's the only thing that stands in the way and I hate it. This goes out to people who have already attempted and know how hard it is to overcome si too.

How do you prepare to avoid it?
Do you guys have included a plan within your attempt to avoid it?
medication you would take?

I replied to somebody in Russian a while ago. Can't be bothered to write it again in English, so here is an automatic translation for you.

It is always easier to overcome (fool, rather) the instinct of self-preservation if a peaceful method is used that does not result in instant death. But even here it can be difficult. In this case, it helps if you take pharmaceutical drugs that give suicidal thoughts as a side effect. Of course, medications work differently on different people, and you need to experiment with what you take. Google it and then experiment. In my case, this is long-term use of metronidazole. For you it may be something different. I don't think alcohol will help.

I must warn you that when this happens, everything must be ready, because in a suicidal state it is difficult to plan anything. But instincts do not interfere or can be overcome.
Good luck.

Honestly, I wish I had your problem. If I only had SI preventing me from ctb then it wouldn't be a month before I was able to do it. I've not even attempted yet but I wanna make my first my last, because otherwise I'd be in a hospital or something.

Just want to add, that these days metronidazol makes me suicidal in just a few days. I'm actually avoiding it because of that. I will keep it in mind if I need it when I need it. Again, research and experiment.

I speak russian so I can read the original too. Thank you!

I am already super suicidal, but still this instinct is stronger than that which surprises me. My mind doesnt think about anything else than suicide. I have no other interests beside that, none.

Well, I posted it in English.
Looks like being "supersuicidal" is not suicidal enough. It can and should be helped. With my med, I get so bad, that I wouldn't have problem with any relatively non-violent method. I wouldn't jumt off the cliff or in front of the train. But I refuse to do it, anyway. Most more peaceful methods I could use without hesitation and SI standing on the way. And did. But poor planning had been my downfall.

Which non-violent methods do you mean?

Which non-violent methods do you mean?

Any that doesn't involve jumping, hanging and drowning.

Here here. All of these are violent including guns. And I'm terrified of the ocean.

I am hoping a bottle of bourbon helps me with SI when my time comes...

My view is we've suffered enough. Why should we add to it? To be called brave by strangers on the Internet?

Because the peaceful ways are either really difficult to acquire or have a chance of failing and leaving you with permanent damage. I don't want to jump or drown or be hit by a train, but I don't want to wind up even more messed up and unable to end it after a botched CO or IG.

 

[randal_bond]

What is IG?

Side effects. Read the leaflet.

I'm not sure I've read everything bc I'm pretty tired but I have the same issue as you. I'm super suicidal as well and I'm getting increasingly more and more worn out yet can't overcome my SI. For me it's the pain and panic I'll feel that rly scares me, not death as death just sounds awsome for me rn. Since full suspension hanging is the only option for me where I'd succeed for sure due to my current situation, I'm just trying to convince myself that a few seconds to max 2 mins of pain and panic is nothing compared to what I've been through and will be going through if I don't do it. Alternatively I'm looking into ways to get myself to pass out so that I'll fall automatically. Not sure if this helps, but I figured I'd share anyways. Good luck!
