I don't know if it's just me, but (like the title says) does anyone here fantasize about their own suicide or death? Although not in the title, I'm also including self-harm fantasies.

For instance, whenever I feel like I humiliated myself, I imagine myself banging against the nearest hard object until I feel lightheaded as punishment for being so foolish before hanging myself right then and there with everyone to cheer me on and encourage what I'm doing for the sake of repenting for my wrongdoing.

These fantasies usually don't follow the rules of reality since I am unable to feel pain from these actions; it doesn't negatively affect anyone; no one stops me from my imagined attempt, and if they do, they only make the attempt more gruesome; and certain scenarios I imagine would be impossible to do alone, rather someone would have to murder me if they were to make these fantasies real.

Sometimes, if I'm feeling extra artistic, I tend to add "symbolic meaning" to my imagined CTB location and time. Generally, the effort and method of CTB varies wildly depending on my mood, interests, and external events.

If you do, feel free to share an imagined scenario (or as many as you want) of yours if you're comfortable!

To me the most ideal method for suicide is Nembutal and I often think about how relieved I would be if I managed to get some and I imagine drinking the N and peacefully just falling asleep for all eternity where this existence won't even be a distant memory. But of course such a thing is just a fantasy in this horrible world, having the option to just leave in peace is of course far too good to be true.

Hmm... I don't think I really fantasize about it so much as.... Just maybe Trying to imagine how everything will go down and what I might do / say leading up to it. Kinda hard to really describe I guess.

I fantasize about it arguably more than I actually plan it. Kind of backwards from what it should be if I really wanna go through with it. Fantasies, not just about CTB, brings me comfort. It is a coping mechanism and form of escapism I use to avoid reality.

i fantasise a lot about both my death and suicide, kind of similarly to you, when im distressed or ive done something unbearably embarrassing. my most common one is i imagine roughly ten hand guns pointed at my head, kind of suspended in a circle around my head if that makes sense. sometimes its just that, but sometimes they all go off and i see my head just explode lol. other than that its just any and every kind of way i could die in the situation im in at that moment (if im walking along a road i walk into the road and get hit by an eight wheeler, im in a shop and find a box cutter and slit my throat etc.) all very impractical or unreliable ways of dying, but for some reason its calming to me to imagine me dying. i also fantasise about deep cuts on my body and being so thin i look like a skeleton. ig its just a way of escaping reality for a bit.

I rehearse my attempt. I do dry firing exercises. In addition, I turn out all of the lights, and just lay with my eyes closed. I block out all the sound around me. I imagine what it is going to feel like to die. To feel myself die. I wonder what it will be like to shut down. What it will feel like. I'm not afraid, because it is an eventuality of life anyway. I angle my gun, so that I'm aiming at my brain stem. I visualize the gunshot and the initial shock of it. I'm confident in my coming attempt, and can't wait to leave this world.

Regardless of whether or not it's a fantasy, I hope that you're able to get some and obtain the peace you desire. Being able to achieve an eternal, peaceful rest despite the chaotic apathy of life sounds commendable in a sense.

Would it be like "scheduling"/"planning" your final moments up to your death? You have an established or preferred method, and all you have to do is figure out what you'd like to do before you CTB.

Thanks for taking to the time to read this! I didn't expect so many people to respond, but I appreciate all of them nonetheless. It makes me feel less insane in this world.

yeah, i also fantasise quite a lot about committing , it's on a daily basis but its like i fantasise every single way possible of committing lmao
It's on a daily basis? The longest I've ever fantasized about committing was a week straight. The large amount of work I have tends to interrupt these fantasies of mine.

I hope that you're able to find a method of committing that suits you best, or if you're trying to seek help, I hope that your journey of recovery is as smooth as possible.

Also, on an unrelated note, I love your pfp! NEEDY GIRL OVERDOSE is an amazing game with an interesting concept. (Personally, my favorite is the cult ending. It's fascinating to see the Angel slowly descend into insanity the more she discusses conspiracy theories.) Even its theme song, INTERNET OVERDOSE, is a good song! I listen to it frequently since it's somewhat relatable and gives off ME!ME!ME! vibes.

Sorry for going on a tangent, I don't get a chance to talk about these things often with people since I'm seen as weird for doing so.

I fantasize about it arguably more than I actually plan it. Kind of backwards from what it should be if I really wanna go through with it. Fantasies, not just about CTB, brings me comfort. It is a coping mechanism and form of escapism I use to avoid reality.
It's the same for me, to be honest. I have no actual plan that I will go through despite the amount of times I've pictured specific methods and scenarios I could CTB. Like you said, I think it's just about how it's a form of escapism. It would certainly explain why I'm obsessed with certain games.

A ring of guns around your head… I know there's probably no deeper meaning behind it, but the literary nerd within me wants to explore the symbolism of a halo of guns rather than light. Regardless, it's a very interesting sight to imagine.

I tend to imagine spears surrounding me instead of guns that pierce every inch of my flesh. Picturing the spray of blood on initial penetration before my blood slowly flows/drips down to the earth below me is soothing to me.

Picturing every way to die based on your surroundings is extremely relatable lol. I'd like to think everyone does that at some point in their life whether it be intentional or not.

Wow, you're very dedicated! Your ability to bypass your SI and ensure your attempt doesn't fail (and even familiarizing yourself with the consequences of said attempt) is extremely admirable too!

Hopefully, your attempt will succeed, but with the steps you're taking, I'm also confident that you'll achieve your wish to leave this world.

I fantasise gruesome ways to ctb but only seriously consider painless or near painless ways to ctb
That's understandable! Practically speaking, N is most likely the best way to CTB, but in one's own fantasy, there's no harm or shame in imagining an extremely detailed scenario of one's death.

For over a decade. Too bad the transition from fantasy to reality is so difficult...
Maybe, with technology and increasing apathy towards each other, that transition will eventually become easier.

Whenever I reach a certain level of depression that I'm sort of numb and just going through the motions to get through the day it's almost unconscious. I find myself just unconsciously staring at the ceiling of wherever I'm at, imagining my body there dead from hanging, or like I'm at the side of the street, waiting for the crosswalk lights to change but I find myself just fantasizing running onto incoming traffic. It's ridiculous I know, especially since those are not my primary methods.

There's also the common fanstasy/ futile wish I have of just going to sleep and never waking up.
I wouldn't call it ridiculous. There's nothing absurd about indulging oneself mentally. Plus, you're not alone in imagining yourself hanging from the ceiling or running into traffic. If anything, I'd consider it quite normal!

ive never thought about it as a halo before :o i think my main reason for that specifically being my most common one is because of how quick of a death it would be, when im embarrassed i just want it to end in a blink of an eye, and also picturing my head being obliterated maybe means even when im dead my face will never be seen again to avoid anymore shame if that makes sense. i think the times when the guns dont shoot is more of a comforting thing like, im not dead yet but one pull of the trigger and it could all be gone. idk if that made any sense sry im very tired lol but its definitely interesting how differently we subconsciously cope with different things. i like your imagery, you described it very beautifully, i can definitely see how it would be soothing to experience.

yes. as scared as i am of pain, i constantly think about sh and someday being able to ctb. in the moment i get lost in thought, it's nice not having to think about anything except the peace that'll follow. i wish doing it for real was as easy as imagining it.

although I'd likely never CBT with this method; I often think about stabbing myself and slowly slipping out of consciousness in a pool of blood. not sure what makes this method so appealing to me- it's just how I've always imagined I'd go out

Many times. I've fantasized about sodium nitrite but also heroine overdose. I've heard opiod overdose (like heroine) is fairly painless, cause you pass out and just stop breathing. Like dying in your sleep I guess.

I do this a lot. Most often, I think about falling from a very tall building. I would never dare to do it irl, but the thought of being able to let go of all pain and misery, to let go of this shitty meat cage and just the thought of the city lights flashing before my eyes as I fell down sounds incredibly beautiful. Sounds kinda cringe lmao but that's my thought.

Often, and using a wide variety of methods- Some more likely to how I'll actually ctb, something on the more peaceful side like SN, and others more how I want/think I deserve to die, something violent and gory, like jumping or bleeding out after repeatedly stabbing myself or decapitation.

I've always been known for having my head in the clouds, so I suppose it's not that unexpected for me.

I generally fantasize a lot and these fantasies often include suicide or self-harming. I like to imagine myself as a cute femboy who is a popular streamer and one day I decide to make my last stream ever. I like to imagine I kill myself via various methods, often during tragic, romantic scenes like trying to save myself from a stalker or being sent to stop someone's sucidal attempt and deciding to join them and ctb together. In my imagination I already hanged myself countless times, overdosed opioids, poisoned via SN, inhaled some kind of deadly gas, cut off my left hand and later arm, cut most veins and arteries, injected acid via a syringe, shot myself with dozens of firearms, purposely crashed my car, jumped off plane, jumped off high building and many, many more.

Oh all the time. It's easy, habitual and it's a relief. When everything is too much, the thought of death is one of the most consistent comforts. I know it's probably not a healthy coping mechanism or whatever, but it's not like I have anything more accessible or reliable. I also just stopped caring if other people don't agree with how I cope (as long as it isn't hurting others of course)

I do remember as far back as 2015 or so, I do think about how death would be like, such as the instantaneous unconsciousness from a gunshot wound. Albeit violent, it is reliable and quick exit provided one doesn't fail. Sometimes I just imagine scenarios where the aftermath of the gruesome death is everywhere and lots of in the surrounding area as well as shock and horror for those that discover the scene of a violent CTB. However, in the succeeding years, I don't really fault the people who choose violent methods as we live in an anti-choice, prohibitionist society, the State and masses will do everything and anything they can (within their ability and means) to prevent CTB, even banning peaceful means and what not, thus forcing people who are desperate to choose violent, brutal, and messy ways to exit suffering..

As often as anyone else, i'd assume. Mostly thinking about how i'd do it and finally tying the knot or whatever. But personally what I always catch myself thinking about is the aftermath. My family finding me, my funeral, the reactions of others, etc. Don't really know why. I think it might be because my subconscious feels like i'd finally get the attention it wants? Not really sure, as I also feel bad making my family go through something like that, but I can't stop fantasizing about finally being gone and there being people to miss me

I fantasize about it all the time. It's very comforting to me. What a relief to be able to retreat into a fantasy world where I don't exist. For me it's a lot like window shopping for a vacation. I might not have the money or the passport that I would need to take that trip to paradise, but it's still fun to look at hotel webpages and imagine what I would do. Suicide fantasy is the same way - a nice, comfortable mental escape from reality.
Honestly I think idle fantasy about suicide is more helpful than harmful - it wastes time, but it provides a risk-free outlet for my suicidal thoughts. I'm interested to know what others think, though. Do you see it as harmful to fantasize about suicide?
