How do you overcome the fear that stops you ending your life?

[SuicideByBelt]

Would like to know

 

[BeansOfRequirement]

For me it's just pain, no fear.

 

[StateOfMind]

There is no way of knowing for sure.
And the people that succeeded can't report back..

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

My guess is it has something to do with trying to outweigh it with the fear of whatever continuing to live will be like.

Inebriation

Alcohol really helps me with that but unfortunately, that won't work with SN and I'm really scared of the other methods.

I've read threads on here about overcoming SI. I don't recall exactly. One possibility was desensitization. The body/mind can get used to anything. Or drugs.

Inebriation

Indeed.

Subconsciously I'm ruining my life so that it gets so bad that I'll have no choice but to end my life

I used to have fear. Fear of the unknown. Fear of how people would take it. But now, I have finally allowed myself to have a "I don't give a fuck about anything attitude". And now, the fear is subsiding, the caring is subsiding and i've never been closer to ctb. It feels so good and I hope I can keep rolling with this feeling to finish the job.

I hope one day I can have your attitude.

I fear CTB. Not death itself. I think overcoming the fear of the act itself is an mixture of impulsivity and desperation. As for dying, I welcome the unknown. I belong on the other side of this existence.

Unfortunately I don't think any of us have the actual answer to that important question, we're all still here.

I haven't been able to put my self destructive habits into words before but wow that's exactly what I've been doing^

 

[demuic]

I think about all the things I hate about life the world, and myself.

Same tbh, sick and tired of life, yet fear is holding me back :/

 

[keyakizaka]

honestly the only fear i have when it comes to dying is the fear of missing out.

 

[ClownMe]

I wish I knew.

 

[Pure]

You don't, the want to die just has to be a greater driver
