Agreed. This is just an in-the-moment bandaid, but I figured that's worth sharing!

Just fyi in case folks aren’t aware

It’s not just suicide it’s a crisis hotline as well.

The kinds of activities that OP mentioned is fine if effective, but I'd say not to take drugs of any kind / engage in dangerous activities for a dopamine hit, but rather call hotline/ get professional help asap.

Thank you. I initially read this post as, “If you’re considering self harm, do a line or two of cocaine instead.”
