How do you decide on a method?

[Idkwhattopick]

I'm currently torn between 3 methods and I wondered what your approach's are to choosing?
Do you look at the practicality of each method, is it based more on preference etc? I'm really not sure which to go with. I just need it to work this time

 

[hdead]

I meditate and visualize. What methods are you stricken between and why?

 

[historiaegiptu]

For me its about practicality, i don't have access to a gun and i don't want to involve the public (jumping, train etc). Co and Sn seem the most doable for me but i dont have a place for Co.

 

[Forveleth]

Two factors that determined it for me. One, do I have access to it? And two, was I comfortable with the idea of how I would die? Meaning, was I okay with the length of time or any amount of pain involved.

I think about efficiency first because I want to die, not just attempt. Then I think about how much and for how long will it hurt. I do think about the social aspect as well because I think about my mum. If not for her I would have been long gone by now. Of course if not for her I would not have been at all.

I will choose that is very effective and accessible. Unfortunately there's no 100% effective method. There's always has a chance of surviving even a little in the last moment. But if doing right you can die. And what fears me most is failed attempts with demage that will take a toll on my life. My desired way to ctb is fentanyl overdose as it is very very euphoric and relatively painless. But I don't have the access to it. So I will go with hanging, jumping or poison. ( But all of those has the surviving records:/)

I am living in my own house alone (with 2 cats).
So, the methode depends on my preference and availbility.
Guns (I live in europe) are hard to get.
I dont trust in medications or hard drugs. Worst case is you get rat poisen as N. No, thanks...
Gas (N2) is easy available for me with high purity (99,999%).
So, this is my way...
It always depends, where you live and get your hands on...
(Jumping, car crash, train, etc. not mentioned here, because this is not a "methode" in my eyes...)

Peacefulness and reliability are probably my top criteria, I'm scared of a failed attempt leaving me even worse off.

Have you read the PPH? If not, it could be helpful to narrow down your choice, I remember they had a few criteria for each method and ratings assigned in it with explanations on how they arrived at the ratings.

I read statistics on Lost All Hope. (Which is now unavailable unless you verify you age. I will not share personal data.) What is PPH?

I like the idea of mediating. For me I'm torn between f/psh, jumping, and sn.

Hanging and sn share the same issue of the location, I would have to book a hotel, my funds are limited and I struggle with the guilt of someone finding me (I know that's pretty much gonna happen with any method but the thought of someone just expecting to clean a room and finding a body etc is hard) I'm very confident I'd be able to carry out fsh correctly, psh I struggle with finding the sweet spot still.

Sn sounds very promising, especially now I've found mic but I do worry about how uncomfortable the process is, I struggle with the feeling of nausea after so many failed otc overdoses

Jumping is less easy for me, geographically my area is incredibly flat so I'd have to travel a fair distance to some cliffs that meet the height requirements. I have had a few attempts at the highest bridge near me (28m), one of which being earlier in the week. I know it's not high enough for certain death but it is a known successful suicide spot and sometimes the impulsivity beats me. But each time I've spent too long debating the height and whether i should risk it and someone has intervened.

I might make a pros and cons list

I will choose that is very effective and accessible. Unfortunately there's no 100% effective method. There's always has a chance of surviving even a little in the last moment.

I have the same fear about failed attempts, the thought of making things so much worse with no ability to re attempt is so scary

I have read the pph a while back, I tried to access it again after sn became possible for me but I can't get the links to open:(

Ah! But it seems that this book does not provide statistics on all methods. : (

 

[burninghill]

Accessibility, fatality rate and… drama, I guess?

In other words, can I access this method, is it likely to be lethal, and do I care about dying quietly?

I can access an open railway, it's a likely fatal method and I do not care about dying quietly.

Ease of access to the materials needed, the location you wish to exit at, and choosing the correct time to go through with it.. It's like planning out camping trip: It's easy to say you want to go camping, but it's a whole other thing to actually plan it out, because then you have to think of all the details. It's very interesting to think about, considering hundreds of thousands ctb every year.

People who claim ctb is the easy way out are ignorant optimists. There are logistics and variables to it.

 

[hmnow]

to be truthfull, you don't choose a method, a method chooses you.

Suddenly you realize that is how you will die

I chose hanging, - and that's how I see my ending - so it really chose me because it filled my thoughts

I like that way of thinking, that helps me narrow it down thank you

 

[iwkmsssb]

i really want to ctb with a peaceful method, the least painful as possible, i've already suffered too much living all this time. i also want my body intact so i wont upset my family or those who find me. but also has to be accessible to make it possible.

You don't really have to verify your age. Just choose any random picture and press that you are eighteen years old

What is n2 and how does one get it?

 

[nitrogenous]

Mine are practicality (of obtaining and using), lethality, peacefulness and reversibility (in case I fail, I would rather not be stuck in a vegetative state or be in so much physical pain).

 

[emptinessrevolve]

I chose my method because it is the only one that will cause the least amount of SI.
