Funny question on a serious topic: what's your silliest attempt?

[Querlista]

I'll start!
When I was about 13 I thought I could just hold my breath until I die. I tried to but of course I had to take a breath at one point, interpreted it as a strong sign of an uncounscience will to live back then which gave me a surprising amount of new motivation to keep on living.

paracetamol OD. I was in middle school. I was young and stupid to be fair.

 

[Wrennie]

Jumping out a window. It wasn't high enough to kill me but I was too messed up from a drug to properly evaluate my situation.

 

[Belaya Noch]

When I was 15, I tried to ctb by drinking water overdose - it is actually possible but not very practical

 

[AprilsBlessings]

Same

 

[WornOutLife]

I was 14 and jumped off from some stairs about 3 meters high.
Thought the impact was gonna kill me lol

 

[catalepsy]

I got really drunk one winter night - whiskey - and ran out into the woods, got totally ass backwards lost, then laid down in a snowdrift and thought, "I'll just go to sleep and let hypothermia do it's work..."

Then I had to pee and stumbled out into the street and realized my apartment was about 60' away, and the stupid will to not be cold won the battle.

Took an overdose of Klonopin while in a tub of water then about a month later put enough vodka in me for an alcohol overdose with sedatives in a bathtub. Apparently it has worked for a few but not me. Black out drinker and I can't trust that drunk part of me to kill myself. Got mad, kicked the suicide prompts over, puked and went to sleep in my bed. Instead of in the bathtub. Woke up next morning with a vague foggy memory of what happened.

I tried to choke myself on a feeding tube that was still up my nose when I was 13. It snapped and the tube came flying out my nose along with massive amounts of snot! I ended up covered in snot and the contents of a feeding bag lol

 

[in hell out soon]

Tried to take 30 paracetamol at once. Like, at the same time.

ended up choking and spitting them up in the sink. Proceeded to take 32 pills and ended up failing that attempt.

next time I hope I manage to find or share SN with someone...

 

[Mentalmick]

Starvation. I went for ten days without eating. I was losing two pounds a day then I realized I would have to keep it up for another 20 or so days. I thought fuck that and had something to eat.

 

[BandAddict]

Hmmmm. Maybe when I tried to OD on impulse.

Wait.

That was all of the times. Lol

But in all seriousness, maybe my first "official" attempt when I was 16. Tried to OD on my depression meds, but freaked out part way through and spit some of it up. Definitely wasn't enough to do much of anything.

 

[FinalDestination]

lol it was so stupid now thinking on it but around ~15-16 I read that white oil paint is toxic (at the time you'd even get i.d'd just to buy it) and I woke up at 4 am and drank a tall glass 1:1 with water certain it would work; alas it did not. and another time I drank a glass of shower gel and mouth wash and lay in the bath tub thinking it would make it easier to drown. It just tasted really gross tbh- still can't use that scent of gel without gagging. Makes me more relieved knowing I have sn ready for when I finally ctb

 

[ZardozOmega]

I can think of a couple. There was this one time I ate uranium ore.
There's also the one where I tried to electrocute myself, it just made my arms spasm.

 

[Deleted member 22624]

In hospital I tried to hang myself on the door with shoe laces. They broke and left an obvious mark which noone mentioned in the remaining 3 weeks, I guess that means they pegged it as a cry for help they should ignore. I didn't care too much, although to be fair if they'd get out of their chair to get something for migraines it would have made it worth it. Job's worth is pushing it

 

[shadowchaser]

When I was thirteen I came home one day from school, wrote a little note, and went into the bathroom with a pencil sharpener blade that, in hindsight, couldn't have reached anywhere near the arteries.

Of course, then, I literally thought I was going to die. I made the cut and just sat there for fifteen minutes until it stopped bleeding, and then, not knowing wtf to do, went on regularly with my day lmao.

13 reasons why makes it look way easier than it really is haha

 

[Pen>Sword]

paracetamol OD. I was in middle school. I was young and stupid to be fair.

I was thinking of that too, and I'm in my 20's. I bought 500mg in 100 tablets for $25 just last year. I thought it was enough to CTB, I guess I'm still naïve.

 

[illbeinthegarage]

i tried to drink nail polish remover when i was around 14/15 lmao

I think this is funny! Lol

Lmao I opened the thread just write that. I used to try to kill myself in that way when I was 8/9

 

[makingsure4]

Lmao I opened the thread just write that. I used to try to kill myself like that when I was 8/9

When I was probably around two I was rushed to the Dr. because I passed out and he said I had just been holding my breath. Wish I could do that now...while in water. Sometimes little kids can make themselves go unconscious by holding their breath. Usually ends around three.

This gave me a giggle lol

 

[sadbadpsychogirl]

drank a big glass of antifreeze (it always worked on tv)

 

[ZardozOmega]

how much? did you go to the hospital?

 

[sadworld]

My attempt at life.

 

[DuckieWaddles]

Two immediately come to mind: zipping myself up in a ski jacket with duct tape around the sleeves and waste and hopefully die of CO2 inhalation, and eating random plants in the backyard. Those were some fun times.

 

[Antiquated]

The good ol' toaster in the bathtub method.

[heatherwoof]
