Freezing myself to death

[zerocontrol]

I've been looking through all the potential methods I could go for, and one of them is hypothermia. Currently it'd be the most effortless way of going about this, as all I'd need is to wait till winter (which is when I'm planning to off myself anyway), go outside semi-clothed, go to the nearby forest, maybe take off my clothes, lay down and simply wait until the deed is done. Since I ideally would like to not experience the pain of being submerged in a pile of snow, I thought of blacking out beforehand by mixing alcohol (vodka, rum etc.) with a carbonated drink, since I remember being told that this is how you get alcohol faster into your bloodstream.
I wanted to know if this method is reliable enough, and whether there's something I should take into consideration before actually attempting it. My only concerns so far are: which weather temperature I should aim for, and whether the alcohol might ruin the process of hypothermia, since it will warm me up.

Hmm i actually think alcohol would be good if it would make you sleep through the whole thing

Here's a guide that includes hypothermia.

Hypothermia & Diphenhydramine(chloride) method

Translation from the German book "Selbstbestimmtes Sterben. Sanfter Tod bei klarem Geist" Victor Niculescu Hypothermia & Diphenhydramine(chloride) "The lethal dose of Diphenhydramine(chloride) is 50mg per kg body weight. also required: Zopiclon 20 tablets Bromazepam or Triazolam 30-50...

I would consider this method as well.

I'd just keep my clothes on. Don't think they'll make that much of a difference, It's the core temp we need to bring down. Skin and extrematies will get cold fast enough either way I think.

Plus it saves whoever finds me another trauma if I'm at least somewhat dressed
That being said it would probably take a while, don't want to be found to soon.

Just be sure you dont get frostbite first. SI will kick in and you will get up and move. It takes days for hypothermia to set in and according to survivors of the Titanic feels like being stabbed with a 1000 swords.

Is there any way life doesn't get better? Maybe consider this b cause being cold sucks. You'll get desperate and do anything to get back to warmth.

Best of luck...

Lots can go wrong & it might be a slow torture

I remember this was the method for member @Linda.
Have not seen Linda for a while, i miss her posting.

Temperature here can get as low as -20 degrees Celsius, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't actually take days.

That's why I'm thinking of intoxicating myself with alcohol beforehand, so I can just blackout and not feel the pain from the cold.

I thought of this too but the fear of frostbite turns me off. If that were to happen you'll end up a lot worse off.
