How to train to get rid of SI

[AndroidAmongHumans]

I've been looking into documented ways that people have gotten rid of their survival instincts online, but none of the results have been helpful. The two options discussed in both informal and academic settings don't really work for suicide. The main one that gets discussed is as it relates to militaries around the world, as members are trained out of their survival instincts by intense training that teaches them to value the group/unit and their cause/nation more than anything to the point it overpowers survival instinct, and that's not the same goal as someone trying to CTB. The other one is repeated exposure to fatal violence in real life, as that can in some documented cases diminish SI, but that's not on any level dependable or something you can do intentionally. Does anyone know of any other methods of training to get rid of survival instincts?

i'm sorry if this is not helpful. don't want to annoy you.

but those two options ive kinda used in a way. and I'm ready to ctb.

the first one translates to your goal of suicide, of course. you're desperate. its a tangible thing for you. focus on what you value by suicide. because its obviously bigger than yourself lol.
basically don't focus on death. focus on why. focus on the suicide.

the second one, the repeated exposure. ask yourself if you fear pain. if you want to die, do you still fear death? its nirvana. I somehow allowed myself to not fear the concepts of pain or death in the ways of 'fatal violence exposure'


its basically..once you realize. what was there all along. if you truly, truly wish or need to die of course. probably to someone who doesn't really need to this might be a lot harder to do. but your choice.

Not the answer you are looking for but my belief is that it's not possible to fight off the SI.

If we have SI, it means there is still a glimmer of hope within us for recovery and getting better.

If we really have given up and want to dampen the SI, I think taking actions which disconnect us from the future will help. Ending relationships, getting rid of money, leaving our job etc. Whilst we hold onto those things, we are not ready to let go of life.

I don't think you consciously can, it's the way life fucks you that decides that. Without SI i wouldnt be here anymore
