Tips for.psychologically preparing for physical pain?

[Hope:-)]

Got any? I desperately don't want to live but I am truly phobic of physical pain. Also, any tips on coping whilst in physical pain? People who have made a serious previous attempt/s may be helpful to this thread. How did you cope with the pain and/or psychologically prepare for it enough to be able to attempt?
All feedback appreciated.
Thanks.

@Hope:-) good idea, also how to deal with stuff like dizziness and breathlessness cos that freaks me out as much as physical pain and I'm sure panic makes things worse.

when people vaccine kids they sometimes press their hand to overshadow the pain of the vaccine, some neurological effect where the body can only focus on so many stimuli at once and pain is relative
but i guess its hard to overshadow the pain of suffocating

another method to withstand pain is to focus on your breathing.. also not practical while suffocating

otherwise i can only think of painkillers

Is there a method you have in mind? Every method would have its own different set of pain/ symptoms to cope with. Can you be more specific?

make yourself pass out by hyperventilating

I listen to 'positive' suicide songs, read 'positive' death poems and nihilistic literatures. It will keep the good side imagination of death in my mind; However much lies I tell myself because we truly will never know what death is, the mind doesn't make the pain go away but it makes me feel ready to embrace the glory of death.
Well, actually the diazepam knocked me off, I didn't felt anything significant in an instance after drinking.
I have this idea of professional hypnosis but never tried it.

I just meant for general physical pain. Apparently aerobic exercise helps....yeah, like I'm actually going to do that. I'm starting to do kind of CBT on myself- just reminding myself that the pain will be shortlived compared to my miserable life. Things like that. I know it sounds bad but I kinda hope this place pushes me over the edge. I don't want to live. I just don't want to have to go through with killing myself. I'm so frustrated with myself. Some people aren't afraid of the pain at all. They're afraid of death. I'm the other way. Death doesn't really scare me. I'm going to keep trying to be okay with the pain because I can't go on like this. Let me know how I can get round it.x

Drinking what sorry? Diazapam doesn't do quite that much for me regarding as fas as knocking me out but it may help.x

Why don't you select a painless method?

Diazepam or known as Valium, I forgot already how much I took since it was 17 years ago, but I'm sure 2g is quite safe without long term effect because the LD50 is pretty high: 1g/kg in mice

Apart from n I don't think there really is one.

for general pain breathing really is your friend! try to relax all of your muscles, just everything while you've exhaled. do that for 5-10 minutes and youll feel like another person.
the hard thing about this for me is to see a point in doing it.. just for the physiology..
its like eating healthy.. why should i do it if i just want to ctb.. also you reach more of a contemplative state of mind, where youre just more conscious of your problems..
i hate life there is no solution god damn it.. just ctb, it aint easy anyway i guess
what kind of pain do you try to withstand?

My favorite is "suicide is painless" original song by MASH, I think I'm gonna listen to smooth jazz instrumental version while CTB, link in my bio.

 

[justwanttogo]

i like the ironic smooth jazz idea, also really like the original! i unfortunately cant look at your bio..

you might like the song 'when you die' by 'MGMT' its also kinda ironic but also weirdly happy..

feel free to post more songs in that direction, i would greatly appreciate it :)

Being in chronic physical neuropathi pain for years that reaches intensities close to nine out of ten, having gone through renal colics for hours where pethide and morphine were useless, having had acute gastritis leading to perforation and peritonitis.....I honestly do not care one second for some 20 minutes pain regardless how intense it is....
You think a person with trigeminal neuralgia would even consider the subject of pain ?

Jumping, nitrogen inhalation, firearm.....

Must be quite a lot of psychological anguish involved in the lead up to these.

Especially jumping/fa
