Hoping people will chime in.
Let's get the obvious out of the way first: I know hanging is by FAR the cheapest/easiest route. It requires next to nothing to accomplish, other than good ligature and a will to die. But for us squeamish-types (look, there's no judgement. I've been trying to avoid this method at all costs myself) what are some other more cheap, reliable methods?
I should probably go into more detail on some things I've tried: Chemical injestion, Cutting, Self-Strangulation, all duds FR. Didn't even come close. I like the idea of cutting in general as it releases endorphins and I guess it just "feels" good, but it is one of the most worthless methods out there. I slit both of my fucking arms and it barely affected me. I guess I felt tired but that was pretty much it and I think that was more from adrenaline than anything. You would literally have to be a surgeon to make that shit work. And you'd need a pretty good dose of painkillers cuz those arteries are deep in there. You'd have more luck with water-intoxication which I've also considered.
So far my only least painful alternatives I've found is inert gas and carbon monoxide, which I'm looking into. My main issue is that I'm surrounded by my "family". I put that in quotes because they feel less like loved ones and more like prison wardens, making sure I don't try anything stupid. If they loved me they would leave me alone and let me die. It's not like they actually care, more that they don't want to feel implicated in my death. So, at this point I don't care if they find my body. I just don't wanna be hospitalized.
Now I'm sure there's things you can ingest that WILL do the job given decent amounts. I mean anything is fatal given enough of it. But is it practical? And do you really wanna deal with the side effects of it? Like others have said, most OTC drugs are a non-method. They don't work. Pure and simple. If they did, they wouldn't be available to the public like that. I've drank bleach which did absolutely fuck all and I drank half the damn bottle. Gasoline will just make you sick. You'd need a lot of it and it's a pretty shitty way to go.
I really like the idea of SN (sodium nitrite), but my problem is cost. While not super-expensive, it is when you're flat-ass broke. And the whole regimen of needing to fast, taking certain drugs around a schedule, and needing an pretty powerful antiemetic, it almost seems like a science-experiment and limits its availability somewhat. Like as good as it sounds, it just seems less and less practical to me. Like it's so outside my means of obtaining it.
SO, I think I covered some of the things I've thought up. I'd like to know other people's opinions. Their ideas. Things they've tried. Whether it worked or not. How close they came. And just overall experiences. Thank you!
