Help CTB by cutting the wrist

[HangingTree]

Hey everyone,

I consider to CTB by cutting my wrists / forearms, but I don't no very much about it. Only to cut along my arm and take a warm bath before. Do you think a hot shower could replace the bath? I will also take aspirin so my blood can flow better. Is there anything else to know?
I'm not 100% sure about to kill myself. Sometimes I don't think about it and sometimes I'm very close to do it. It drives me crazy and nobody can understand that mix of feelings, even I can't understand that.
This thread is just in case I'm sure about it and I don't want to do any mistakes with this method. One week ago I thought if I die today (on my birthday) would be nice, but then I had 2-3 days which were better, so I don't know. I think I'm going to wait for the next down.

Thanks for reading and for your help :)

I read on Lost All Hope that it is not very effective at all. Something like five percent. There is a wiki on this site too, I could be wrong. Sorry you're here.

Cutting your wrists is generally not very effective. The radial artery is deeper than a lot of people anticipate, and it takes quite a bit of courage/determination/balls to cut that deeply. If you don't cut your artery, the chances of you bleeding out are very very little.

Like the others said, it's not very effective. Most likely you'll be in extreme pain.

Most likely you'll just end up bleeding a lot but not enough to kill you. Also you'll be left with a huge scar for everyone to see.

Ahhh shit... okay thanks for your answers :)
The scar is not the problem. I harmed myself in the past and already cut really deep and reached the vein, but it was a cut a cross my arm and not along the arm and it was more an accident than a planned attempt where I just harmed myself "a little bit" more than usual. But I remember that it was really deep.
I can imagine that the possibility to survive is really high :/ but I think it's a cool way to leave and I like the image in my head how I just sit in my clean bath with a black suit and everything looks just nice.
My alternate option is to order helium and make an exit-bag... but I read some articles about this method and these confused me to much XD so I thought cutting my wrist is much easier :/
Anyways, this method looks peaceful, so I'm going to order helium in the next few days, make an exit-bag and finish all suicide-notes... just in case that I have nothing left to lose. But I will definitely post another thread about this method if I think I have everything for this method, because I don't want to fail.

Sorry you're here.

Thank you :) May I ask you how you come to this side?

It's not effective at all, partly due to the survival instinct and death would likely be from blood loss. Furthermore, assuming that (hypothetically) you are able to fight the pain and cut deeper and deeper, at some point your body will find a way for your blood to clot, thus stopping the bleeding and you would be alive and in a lot of pain.

Yeah the scar wouldn't be a problem for me but you could have nerve damage and permanent ligament damage and junk...I like to draw lately (so silly)... But then again any other method if messed up could leave you brain damaged or with bed sores or dead limbs. No judgement, just presenting the unfortunate statistic i found. Bodies are fragile and yet hardy? If you research something new on helium or run into new stuff or just wanna hang out let peeps know.

SN would be a much much better dignified method, and it doens't cost much.

I don't know if it's that easy to get SN in Germany like it is in other state, especially in the required concentration. I looked on amazon and eBay and didn't found anything with that high concentration which i would need to CTB :/ and this method looks even more difficult for me than the method with helium + exitbag... but thank you for this suggestion :)

at some point your body will find a way for your blood to clot, thus stopping the bleeding and you would be alive and in a lot of pain.

Hmmm, and do you think that an overdose of aspirin and a hot shower wouldn't change anything?

So my next attempt will be my last and this would be well planned, to get the risk to survive to a minimum... The risk to survive with an incurable damage is so annoying, but it's a fact we have to face :/ so I'm very thankful for all of your advices. This shows me the worst case scenarios and keeps me from doing anything stupid and how important it is to plan my suicide very carefully.

Yes, it's very strange to understand sometimes. I'm going to read something about this method and can inform you if I have some news if you want to, but you have to write me a message at first, because I haven't the permission yet. This forum helps me a lot, because this thoughts are understandable for everyone on this side.

Hey. When I was a teenager I taped a razor blade to the edge of my dresser and swiped my wrist across it. Don't use this method. The body has a remarkable ability to concentrate blood flow to essential organs, and your hand is not among them. I cut pretty freakin' deep and saw all the colorful stuff inside, bled a lot too, but even then I missed all the major stuff. To get to the things where you have even a slim chance of dying, you'd likely also have to cut through all the ligaments. And if you survive, and you probably will, you're going to want them.

Hey,
Thank you for your information and for sharing your experiences :) That means a lot to me (and I think to this community, too)... I'm going to put this plan in the trash and order helium :)
Thank you all for your help :)
