Help How do you overcome the fear?

[scarletbriar]

Asking this especially to those who've managed to attempt before and (almost) succeeded. It's also kind of weird because I did attempt to in the past and I would've actually CTB if it weren't for the fact that the anchor broke—LOL—and it's like... why hesitate now, you know? My method in mind is hanging and I am confident because I managed to pass out in the previous attempt and this anchor will prove a lot stronger.

I guess the main fear is just... what happens if I fail this time? You know, amidst the thrashing and the convulsing, there's a possibility that my body will end up dislodging itself from the ligature. And it doesn't feel like I can be told to "take my time" because I've been delaying this for months (since I was either too sleepy or had something to do) and I don't wanna survive for New Years. Now, I don't have any good excuses to stop myself from doing so because I literally have nothing better to do and it's not even gonna get any better.

I get in a state where I think about why I'm doing it... and then my mind goes blank and I just do it.

Close your eyes
1. Breathe in quietly through your nose for a slow count of 4 seconds
2. Hold for a soft 4 seconds
3. Breathe out through your mouth for a longer 6 seconds
Repeat till your heart beat is slowed down, and your hearing is super sensitive
Open your eyes slowly
and
YEET

works for me :3

Most likely knowledge and experimentation make me more confident in this regard. What I feared most was when the attempt was spontaneous and poorly prepared. Now I not much hesitant about it as I feel I can do it.
