Thank you so much for posting this resource. I just read the OP and I really got a lot out of it. Especially the part about thinking of what comforts you in thinking about what you may be stepping into on the other side. It will help me to think about the eager anticipation of seeing my dead loved ones and running into their arms...right before I drink the SN. Hell, even if it's just nothingness and non-existence...I will gladly find solace in that as well .

Mark Twain said: "I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it."

This quote assuages my fears a bit. I don't believe in heaven or hell, and I have my doubts about any kind of afterlife.
But I admit it does sound comforting to imagine running into the arms of lost loved ones.
I suppose that's why religion exists.

It is impossible to fear death ! Fear is a feeling, and death is the essence of non-sentience. In a state in which you feel nothing, you cannot fear. So why fear a state in advance of which you know that once you are in that state you will not be able to fear? But maybe that's not what you mean, you mean fear of DYING, and that's a totally different story. It's a transition, and transitions are usually painful and disturbing. I can totally relate to that type of fear and all these questions pop up in my head "what's it going to be like?", "will I suffer physically?", "what tricks is my body going to play on me to try and keep me alive?". These are all very valid questions to be asked, and the possible answers can be worrying. But think about it: what are we all seeking on this forum? We are trying to share experiences, research, knowledge, so as to make us less worried about the transition from life to death, since we are taking matters into our own hands to make it as smooth and joyful as possible. We should pity the poor pro-lifers ! Because of their rejection of self-deliverance, they will have to just accept whatever will come to them, and bloody hell, most deaths of "natural causes" or accidents are just a plain horrible way to go, and I would never expose myself to the risk of dying in such an inhumane way. WE, the suicides, are holding our destiny in our own hands, we are in command, we can feel free and not let basic biology get the better of our bodies. So we should not fear dying either, since it's our method, our preparation, our deed, and that should give us joy and pride in our last moments.

my fear of death gets easily replaced by the sadness i get when i remember how things used to be.. i know this might not work for everyone but thinking about why you actually want to end it all could help, i just have to think about the few moments i actually used to enjoy waking up and running toward my pc when i was a kid.. that time when school wasn't that important.. oh man those short moments of joy... but its all over now..

Hi. Sorry, is an old post but I need help, I'm new here. I'm gonna leave soon, my method is partial suspension and I have tried and did some tests before, I'm sure will work, I just can't deal with the last seconds of consciousness. My senses start to fade and I feel a strange and powerful fear about die, because I don't know what will happen after I black out. Finally I start to hear weird sounds and see lights blinking, and they turn so strong and so uncomfortable that is impossible to keep going. And I tried it sober, very drunk, high on chloroform, but nothing seems to help me. I just need something to help me passing through this and keep me in the same position for a few seconds more. Someone can help me?

We all die. Why have fear of something that will happen to all of us??

when it comes to death, what people don't realize is that everyone has experienced death already in a way. ask yourself this question: "what was life like before you were born?"

I personally don't fear death itself. I fear that I will never get to experience certain things before dying. But death itself isn't scaring me.

I feel like letzteausfahrt worded it pretty well in this thread.
