How do you calm yourself down knowing that you CTB anytime soon?

[AaronHernandez]

Benzos and alcohol do t seem to work for me anymore. Any ideas?

 

[Mr2005]

Peace and quiet

 

[FuneralCry]

I'm not sure it is possible for me to be calm. Ctb is difficult as we are programmed to survive. I think I will only ever be able to ctb once I reach a point of desperation. I never feel relaxed as there is no escape from myself and my thoughts.

the only time i feel calm is whenever i get closer to ctb

 

[trewer]

Death gives me comfort, the thought of continuing to live for decades is what scares me.

 

[suicidesheep31]

I imagine myself doing it and it calms me down. I was doing that to help me sleeping.
I was seeing myself taking N and I was feeling peace coming.

Music, evanescence helps me feel calm when i really want to die

Making myself understand it's never gonna be better…...

I think we have to prepare for death for a long time. No one really wants to die because we are programmed to live and the survival instinct will work against the suicide. The hardest thing to do is to consciously choose death. I believe that all people want to die if they suffer enough. If we are drunk or if we overdose sleeping pills we will probably lose control and the suicide attempt will fail. It is better to take only one or two sleeping pills or nothing at all if we want the suicide to be successful. It is better to suffer for a few minutes in the dying process - then at least we have achieved our goal.
