Best way to ctb by knife?

[It'llNeverEnd]

I know it's not the best way, but it's just about the only way I have now

 

[STRIKER19966]

Are you sure you don't have any other options? Like partial hanging ?

 

[It'llNeverEnd]

I've heard of it failing too much

 

[lostangel]

I guess maybe in the heart but it's hard to pull off and it causes a lot of pain. Even if you cut your throat it will still a long time to die.
I would recommend to not choose this method. I would recommend partial or full suspension.
Best of luck.

Knife isn't a way to go peacefully ,cleanly or quickly. Hanging can reset in almost instant unconscious if research and done right. Your body even when cut has a good chance of clotting before you would bleedout s many who have slit there wrists can testify. Here are ways around this but I'm not here to help you kill yourself. Just tell you what is a bad idea. Like the knife idea I used in an earlier post which was totally mental and epic. But unless want slow and painful and if survived scars and maybe life changing injuries based on where you stop yourself. It isn't. Good plan when there are so many more out there.

I filmed an interview with a retired doctor sometime last year as part of a documentary I was shooting. For various reasons, he was suicidal and had decided that to end his pain he would take a steak knife from the kitchen and plunge it directly through his heart.

He commented that he knew exactly where to target and that unconsciousness would follow within seconds, swiftly pursued by death.

It struck me as neither painless nor dignified, the plight of a desperate man and an option only because with his medical knowledge he knew where to aim.

We didn't explore the technicalities with him, although I would imagine that your survival instinct would be strong in such a situation.

If this is genuinely your only option then careful research is a necessity. Consider the risk of failure and indeed the scene you will leave behind. If a peaceful and dignified exit 'on your terms' is what you ultimately desire, I would echo the advice of the other posters - this is perhaps not the best option.

Whatever your ultimate decision, I'm sure that we will all do our best to support you in the circumstances that prevail, stay strong

I don't care about going out clean and painless, going it clean just leaves more option to fail. I know cutting in a bathtub is an option because the water will help it to stop clotting, or attaching tubes to your veins to keep the blood flowing.

 

[TAW122]

I don't really think this would be a good idea due to the immense amount of pain (maybe if you were under a lot of pain-killers to numb out the pain) and also your SI would kick in long before you bled out. For people who died by cutting, it's very likely they have hit a major artery, resulting in massive blood loss and dying from that instead.

 

[It'llNeverEnd]

there's nothing but pain. a little more isn't going to change anything. I'll find a bridge to jump off, fuck
I figured this would be the last place I would have to defend myself. I don't need clean and painless and I don't understand why it's so popular

 

[ghostspace]

I would go for the femoral artery near the groin or inner thigh. If done correctly, a person can die in 15-30 minutes.

Also, your carotid artery on the side of your neck. It's a bit harder to hit, however.

I don't think people are attacking you; they're just looking out for you in terms of minimising pain & risk of failure.

If you try to go in a quick, painful/messy manner and fail, the consequences could be horrendous. And it's not until you're actually facing the moment of going that your fears/SI will suddenly kick in and the conviction you have now will be called into question. This is what people are saying needs to be considered.

Well, if a knife is the way, (assuming it's a large enough knife) the Japanese had a ritual known as Seppuku:


I would concur with some of the sentiments of some on this thread that your chosen path is pretty hardcore. That said, it's pretty fucking metal. Anyway, let's hope it all works out for you either way.

 

[It'llNeverEnd]

will have to go slow and the cutting will get deeper and deeper. as I am right now I can barely get a scratch in. been a while since I've cut. tried cutting off a boob since they're my main problem and it'll be over a year before I can get surgery.
I'll get there eventually. bipolar isn't going to change. things may seem good at times, but depression is coming.

I would advise against this. Take a look at this: https://lostallhope.com/suicide-methods/statistics-most-lethal-methods.

Clearly the odds of even succeeding are not in your favour, not to mention the misery involved.

the misery is half the appeal and the amount of blood would send the right kind of message. i'm not worried about statistics. they're usually skewed by the amount of people who don't try hard enough.

Please don't suggest this to anyone as a) it's a heinous, extremely painful and gruesome way to die and b) it's highly unlikely to be succesful. There's nothing cool about this and the samurai at least had a second ready to cut off their head after making the incision.

the misery is half the appeal and the amount of blood would send the right kind of message. i'm not worried about statistics. they're usually skewed by the amount of people who don't try hard enough.

I don't get why anyone would want to die in agony not to mention think that anything that happens after their death has any real significance. I would at least consider the possibility you may regret this during the act (when you've likely already done significant damage to yourself) and think about the message you'd be sending. What most people would think of such a suicide is that the person was stark raving mad. They'll be horrified probably but likely not impressed.

Look up how Yukio Mishima died: even with help his suicide was still bungled and a sad spectacle rather than the honourable, impressive death he intended it to be.

I have treated a man who cut his own throat from ear to ear. Somehow, he missed all the important veins and arteries. Even the trauma docs were shocked as we brought him in. Not saying it is the best way, study where your landmarks are located. Easy web search. Hope you find peace.

femoral artery

 

[It'llNeverEnd]

femoral's my ultimate goal after the boobs are chopped off if that doesn't do me in
e: basically another hosptial trip from lopping a body part off just means it'll take longer

 

[antler]

That's hardcore

You really can't find any other way to do this other than to chop yourself to pieces?

 

[cazwiz]

I thought through logically on the stabbing action vs neck and chest and the only way you can get enough force into your own body and get through the tissue layers is in a downward motion - it's using your arm in its strongest action, and must surely be the quickest most decisive stroke. I think pushing through your neck or chest would be much more difficult, physically and mentally. So, sitting down, and a good hard jab into the femoral artery with a big enough knife. I figure the bleed out would be pretty comprehensive too, and difficult to save, and you should pass out pretty quick.

It will be very quick..in the minutes range. If you use a very sharp knife, it will go pretty quick. On a side note, it is one of the easiest injuries to treat so allow a bit of alone time. PM me if you want to talk.

Hello,
I think the best thing to do with this knife would be... to chop some fruits and make a fruit salad.
Honestly, I don't wish anybody the death like that.
Cutting yourself to death is very painful and it is hard to do when you feel your first pain.
So, please, take your time and do a research on methods.

I've heard of it failing too much

Don't let that discourage you though. It's definitely possible. I would go with partial first.

 

[Sensei]

I would go for the femoral artery near the groin or inner thigh. If done correctly, a person can die in 15-30 minutes.

The femoral triangle is the absolutely best place. The artery is only 0.5–1.5 cm beneath the surface there. According to the estimates I've read, you will bleed out in 2–3 minutes if the stab is correctly executed. In some accounts of people who have stabbed themselves by accident, it has been difficult to save them even when pressure has been applied quickly.

 

[It'llNeverEnd]

I'm taking taking it slow for now, but I really just don't want to hang myself.

 

[Sensei]

Cutting yourself to death is very painful and it is hard to do when you feel your first pain.

Cutting yes, but not necessarily stabbing. People who have stabbed themselves in the femoral artery by mistake has barely noticed it and report that the bleeding out isn't paniful. Not that it really matters, because you lose consciousness in 20–30 seconds.

so I just need to sharpen a knife as much as my sharpener will allow it and I'm golden

Hmmm, but it has to be a direct "shot" otherwise pain is inevitable.
