Many Buddhists practice something similar regarding negativity. They often see it as opportunity.
In my genuine life or death experiences I have prayed to a god I don't believe in. I have laughed at myself after them when my conciousness eventually keeps up with the logical sequence of events that happened.
However, there are always urges that tell me to jump off bridges, step out in front of cars, blow my head off, etc. but when I'm trapped in fear of life I often overcome it eventually.
I sort of have these pacts when I hit rock bottom. Living becomes a synonym for dying. Might as well max out credit cards and travel the world first.
