Help How do I get the courage to drink my SN

[cazza82]

I'm alone for one day a week Fridays when my son stays with his grandma I've been close a few times ie acting on impulse because bad shit always happens in my life but I just can't physically do it YET any ideas on how to get over the fear

Hey, I'm sorry both that you feel so desperate and that you're having trouble. I definitely empathise with the "bad shit always happens in my life" sentiment, as that's driving me too.

We can't encourage you to kill yourself - and of course, I'm sure you'll appreciate that many of us are particularly keen not to encourage the parents of young children.

Having a drink is relatively easy and detached from the violence of many methods of suicide. It's understandable that someone might not be prepared to shoot themselves or jump in front of a vehicle. If you can't bring yourself to drink it, then that's probably a good sign that something inside you doesn't really want to die.

I don't think it's about courage, I think it's about doing a physical action. your emotional state can't really control your physical movements, as in, you can be afraid and still swallow, it's hard to explain, you have to separate the two ideas, one your emotional state, and two what you can physically do. If you can't do it it may just not be your time

Essentially, suicide is an extremely serious step that should never be taken impulsively, but rather carefully, aware of all possible consequences and reasons pro et contra, because this act is irreversible and final, at least in terms of our current existence. The determination and intention to take such a final step must be firm and unwavering, and by no means sudden and affective. If you are in a dilemma and lack the firm determination to take that step, you are probably not ready for such a thing. Consider some alternative solutions and think carefully about the possible consequences for others in your environment. Maybe you need to give yourself a little more time and think about everything, it will never be too late for that step, and it is very important to be absolutely sure that you really want it, regardless of the reason. Whatever you decide and do, I wish you to resolve your dilemmas and find peace.
