suicidally

With death-seeking intent

In a manner suggesting or risking self-destruction.

Literally, it describes actions intended to end one's own life.

More commonly, it's hyperbolic for reckless disregard of consequences: suicidally dangerous driving, suicidally honest with his boss.

The word often emphasizes extreme foolishness rather than actual death wish: They priced themselves suicidally out of the market.
