How do people have the balls to kill themselves? (srs)

Been thinking about suicide lately, not that I'd actually do it even though my life is abit of a mess (from my perspective) my survival instinct is too strong tbh.

This thread isn't a cry for help btw, just a discussion.

How do people who commit suicide pretty much override there natural instinct to survive? Does that instinct dissapear when they're severely mentally ill?

I think it boils down to a few ways.

1) an emotionless (or minimal emotion) assessment of the current and probable future situation being bleak
2) doing it while in the storm of emotions
3) tiredness of carrying whatever burden they have

Humans capacity for higher thought than animals overrides instinct srs. That's why humans do dumb chit like skydiving which has no utility and invites injury/death.

When life is in shambles and the outlook is only going to get worse or there's no way out of the situation then opting out might be the best thing.

There a variety of reasons.

It can stem from mental health, apathy in life, a loss or lack of a loved one/relationships, debt and so forth.

The emergence of social media also have impacted everyone mental health.

Also not to be EOD, but after 2012 everything has change. Politics have been jarring. Too many trannies and twitter heads trying to change society to fit their dim witted view points.

Suicide is a easy and cheap solution.

I would rather be alive and suffering than dead and at peace.

It's one reason why using a gun to the head is a bad way to attempt it because your survival instinct is going to make it hard to get a effective shot. High chance you'll flinch and just end up severely injured. If you hang yourself or whatever as you black out you can have second thoughts and back out if you want.

As far as mentality you have to be in that mode of depression. Anything to make the pain stop.
