How do you mentally prepare for suicide?

How do you prepare so you don't feel fear, or anxiety or SI?

The million-dollar question...

i was ready, then my method didn't work and the police rocked up at my door

I believe in my case, things will get worse and I will get desperate. Only then do I believe I will be able to overcome the SI. I think it is a feeling I will have, that I know it is time to exit.

"Fuck it and just gulp it down, everyone dies in the end anyway". That's what I think I'll say to myself when the time comes. It's gonna be way easier said than done that's for sure

In terms of drugs you could take idk but otherwise there isn't one.

You've just got to want to die more than you want to live.

Things always get worse before I get desperate enough to actually overcome SI but I can't deal with the pain anymore.

One thing a dietitian once told me is that if I quit sugar I will never really stop craving it, the key is to make the decision in your mind to not eat it. I feel like suicide is sort of similar, once you decide you're going to do it and accept the pain and struggle you will do it, you will also gravitate towards options where your SI can't prevent you from doing it and gravitate away from those that are risky to follow through. Sadly I don't have a gun and it's to risky to search for one where I live.

I wish I knew the answer. If I did though, I would probably feel conflicted about sharing it with others. :-(

The question is interesting, I suppose that a part of me is prepared and feels the CTB as something inevitable, and sometimes it makes me feel death as an exciting experience in which I will be embraced by non-existence, that idea makes me feel good and prepare myself. for CTB

Your desire to die has to be greater than your will to live. How you get there, well I guess you have to die to find out.

Your desire to die has to be greater than your will to live.

I think there are exceptions, although I want to think that sometimes the body and mind have a natural desire to die.

The fear will always be there, no matter how deliberate the intent might be. I guess its all about piercing through SI with one Swift motion as in just downing that SN or finally kicking down the chair, so to speak.

Crossing the line will never get easy, but there are those who just dont care and meeting the void is the only thing they care about. On one hand, I envy that, on the other hand, I have some understanding about being in the process of ctb, almost entirely sure that theres no going back. Its both freeing and downright horrifying, so its best to have everything carefully settled.

I guess my ctb is only a matter of time, Im certain that one day I will erase myself. A swift transition is what I need, because I dont fear death - I fear the fear itself.

-It's very scary because you have to mentally prepare yourself to beat the fear of never breathing again.
-You have to beat biological survival instincts
-You have to beat the fear of the physical pain you will endure (as it won't be natural death)
-you have to accept that you're embracing the unknown
- you have to be at a point of sheer desperation

This year I really thought that I may not have to prepare for suicide as enough traumas have already happened and it is strangely not even an option for me anymore. It's a necessity! But damn those survival instincts! Now I try to tell myself that death is actually the opposite of life. So for me to want it, I have to let go of life. Fortunately I feel I am already on that path and it is thus becoming somewhat easier for me.
