kill oneself
Take one's life
To kill oneself is to commit suicide—to deliberately end one's own life.
The phrase also has a common hyperbolic use meaning to exert extreme effort: Don't kill yourself over this project, She's killing herself trying to make everyone happy.
The reflexive form distinguishes intentional self-harm from accidents or homicide.
