Help Can I CTB by cutting?

[Gloomislost]

Cutting has been my main coping mechanism and I've always had the idea that I could attempt to CTB by using that method, but is it effective? I need some opinions if this method will actually work or not because I don't wanna fuck it up and end up waking up in a hospital bed. (Though my plan is to be in the bathroom stall in a park while doing so)

You have to go REALLY deep to even think of reaching major blood vessels in order to bleed out. I don't know for certain, having never done it, but I would imagine it would bring about some EXCRUCIATING pain, much more than just surface cutting. Then again, others have slit their wrists and have been successful on rare occasion. Maybe they were on blood thinners or something. IDK. I think success with this method is extremely rare.

It's technically possible but it's gonna be extra difficult and painful. For this reason I'm just gonna outright say, don't do it. Odds are it will fail, and draw concern from family, doctors, etc.

Not reliable at all, success rate is so low.

Cutting is one of the most unreliable methods. If you fail, everybody can see the scars for the rest of your life. And if you do not have anatomical knowledge, there is a risk of injury to tendons and nerves.

Cut the jugular or carotid arteries otherwise don't bother. Arteries are really deep in your wrist and the pain with the lack of blood will most likely trigger your survival instinct and make you stop.

won't work. its unreliable.

I don't really think it's worth even considering this if one wishes to ctb, it's a self harm method rather than a suicide one and has a less than 2% success rate, I think that trying to attempt this would just lead to more suffering.

The only case that comes to mind is Avicii and he was in a hotel room and used a broken wine bottle. I imagine it was a nasty scene.

I don't recommend cutting as a method, though if you do attempt, maybe reconsider doing it at park in the restrooms - unless said park is abandoned/low-no traffic. That would be horrific for a kid to walk in on.

I see where they have taken access to this page down so i thought it may be a good resource to post it here. It seems to be the most and best list i have seen like this and gives us a good pall park at to suffering and time and success...
