I wish I could help you with a good advice, but I have none. I'm stuck here myself……

In my case I think I will only be able to overcome the survival instinct when I reach a point of desperation/hopelessness and I cannot think past the suicidal thoughts. It is hard to overcome as we are programmed to survive. As for fear of death itself, the thought of nothingness is comforting for me. I do not understand how someone could be scared of that as you simply do not experience anything. I'm sorry you are suffering, I hope you find the peace you are looking for.

Maybe you also fear of the consequences of failing to achieve death? For me, I believe that's another reason that stops me aside from my stupid survival instinct. Like many here, I accept death and I'm waiting for a time where I don't care anymore of what happens when I try to finally ctb.

This. I'm scared I will fail at killing myself just as I fail at everything in my life. I'm scared I won't die causing just more problems for people around me.

I'd say, just think about life and all your problems. All the suffering you'd be able to avoid by dying. There is a good chance that you'll just disappear, and even if there is an after-life, it certainly won't be as bad as life right now...
