Help How do I work up the courage to kill myself?

[silentvoice]

I'm scared of killing myself but I already decided it's something I need to do. I just lack the courage. How do I work up the courage to do it?

Get more desperate...

We can't help with that. It's entirely up to you and if you can't do it then please don't try.
There are worse things than death that can happen to a person who tries to catch the bus.

There's no other way but to research, visualize, and "try". Not that is easy.

If you need to put in effort to work up the courage then probably should drop CTB plans.

I often ask myself the same question. All you can do is hang in there and think about it.

I wish I had an answer. If I did, I wouldn't be here writing this

Suicide is what happens when our lives become more desperate than we have the ability to cope with. It's not something you need or should want to work up the "courage" to do. It's a way out when literally every other resource is exhausted.

When your desire to die exceeds your subconscious desire to live, then you will have the necessary courage to do it.

Ultimately, something has to tip you past breaking point
Whilst at the same time, totally disregarding anything that's preventing/stopping you from ctb.

Eg: Right now, at this exact moment there is something holding you back, that's keeping you from getting a rope right now, tying a noose and calling it a day.

You need to have total disregard to such things IMO.,,,even if it's just momentarily.

Imo, if somebody is suicidal they have at least one thing that's holding them back. Otherwise they simply wouldn't be here.

I feel your pain. If I had the courage then I would have already committed suicide.

 

[Efilismislife]

Yup same also with what people write

But to me the thing that holding me back is the fear of failure, choosing the wrong way/path/messing up.
the fear of dying also dont know what im gonna deal with since its unknown.


If i can find the truth/answer then i can choose. But how am i going to find it beforehand

There is no certainty - and if it works you will never know.

This is the exact right answer. When you reach the bottom of the pit of despair, and the pain of living outweighs the fear of death, you will have all the motivation you need. Thats what happened to me with my attempt. And the next time I get there, I will be better positioned to succeed this time.

 

[FuneralCry]

I agree with what others have said above. For me, its when you are desperate, you see no other option and you have no more doubts. The suicidal thoughts have taken over your mind. Then you will have the courage. However the survival instinct is harder to get over, as our brains are programmed to survive. Even if we want to die, many methods can be difficult. The SI would probably stop me, if I tried hanging and its the fear of failure too.

 

[brutalus]

why dont you start by commiting partial suicide? i use marihuana, alcohol, sleep, sex with prostitutes and videogames.

If it were easy this forum would be empty. Seriously, I think nature ducked up in a major way when it gave genetic waste such as myself SI.
