Hello all. I'm Magnus, no, it's not my real name but it's what you can call me. I've been actively suicidal for several months now. I've made several attempts which I will detail following so you can learn from my mistakes. Hope you guys have an easier time than I did. Each of these attempts required me to take at least one week to recover from the effects of the attempt and at least another week to gather courage to try again or find ways to try something new. This is what has taken so long. I find myself unable to cause myself direct physical harm, such as stabbing myself or driving my car into traffic. This has limited my options severely, and poisoning has been my go to choice. My body is incredibly durable to harm that comes to it and with no major allergies, ailments, or natural ways to ctb, It's been quite an adventure trying to end my life.
A side note, all versions of Tylenol listed below are Meijer Brand Arthritis Strength 650mg tablets
Attempt #1 Medicine Overdose
My first attempt I tried taking three times my normal amount of medicine I take at night
Reason for Failure:None of the meds would kill me if overdosed
Side Effects:Headache
Notes:This was my first, half-hearted attempt and I'm not sure if I expected it to work or not as I never even looked into what would happen if I took them all at once
Attempt #2 Cold Medicine
For the first try I downed 2 full bottles of acetaminophen full cold medicine, along with about 20 Tylenol pills
Reason for failure: Unknown
Side Effects: Felt like head was full of cotton, vomiting, slept for nearly 24 hours, lightheadedness
Notes: As with all my attempts with Tylenol and acetaminophen, I'm still unsure why this didn't work
Attempt #3 Water poisoning
Next I drank 3 gallons of water in 6 hours
Reason for failure: My survival instinct would not let me down the water fast enough and the poisoning was unable to work correctly
Side Effects: Constant urination, headache, loss of appetite
Notes: I don't know if I expected this one to truly work or not, I wasn't fully aware of how to properly do this method
Attempt #4 Bitter Apricot Kernels
I bought 2 and a half pounds of bitter apricot kernels from a local organic health food store and used a blender to chop them up. I then baked the chopped nuts into brownies
Reason for failure: Baking/Cooking stone pit kernels makes them safe to eat, and to work correctly they must be eaten all at once, not slowly over two days
Side Effects: None other than a really nasty taste
Notes: I didn't find out until much later about the actual toxicity of cyanide poisoning from stone pits like this, much to my dismay
Attempt #5 Apple Seeds
I bought dozens of apples and saved the seeds, eating the seeds all at once
Reason for failure: Not enough seeds
Side Effects: None noted
Notes: While I attempted this once, I failed to gather the courage to try again. Also, note that apple seeds must be chewed for this to work, if you simply swallow them they pass through you. My advice if you choose this method, gather as many apple seeds as you can, at least more than 60, and chew them all at once. It will be unpleasant but it'll do the job better than other stone pits
Attempt #6 Tylenol pills #1- 40 pills
Reason for failure: Unknown
Side Effects: Headache, vomiting, sleeping for nearly 24 hours, stomachache, and when taking these you get this smell in your nose like you've inhaled crushed Tylenol.
Notes: I took these pills on an empty stomach and vomited early, and on my next try I had food in my stomach, so for my third try I ate before hand, and still this method failed
Attempt #7 Tylenol pills #2- 70 pills
After the lower amount failed, I figured I'd up the amount of pills
Reason for failure:Unknown
Side Effects:Same
Notes: I'm unsure why this many pills failed to kill me. So I upped the amount again
Attempt #8 Tylenol pills #3- 90 pills
After 70 pills failed to ctb, I wanted to take 100 pills, but I couldn't stomach them, but I nearly finished the 2 bottles of 50 pills.
Reason for failure: Every website agreed that the amount needed to kill someone was 16,000 mg and 90 pills equated to nearly 60,000 mg, almost 4 times the amount agreed upon. Why this time didn't ctb I still don't know
Side Effects: Same
Notes: Nearly 100 Tylenol pills and I faced no long term effects. I recently had blood work done and nothing unusual showed up in my liver panel and other bloodwork which means that all of the acetaminophen I ingested not only failed to ctb in the massive amounts that I took but also failed to cause any damage, which is astounding
Attempt #9 Cherry Pits
When Cherries came into season, I bought 2 bulging bags, about 3-4 pounds worth, and blended them all up, pits and all (I removed the stems, though). I then drank the blended cherries hoping that the cyanide in them would work as planned
Reason For Failure: I suspect I didn't have enough cherries, and I drank the mixture in halves separated by 3-4 hours, so it may have also been a time limit
Side Effects: constipation, stomachache
Notes:Cherry pits have a considerably less amount of cyanide in them that apple seeds. If this is the method you choose, go with apple seeds, they amount faster and are easier to swallow.
Attempt #10 Castor Bean
I read that Ricin is a powerful poison, so I ordered small castor beans from Etsy and ate them
Reason for failure:Unknown
Side Effects:Burning mouth, violent vomiting, diarrhea
Notes: I ate these in their shell in some baked beans. I DO NOT recommend this. It was completely disgusting and I still gag thinking about it, the shells crush in a really disgusting way
Attempt #11 Large Castor Bean #1
After the failure of the small castor bean, I bought large ones from Etsy.
Reason for Failure:Unknown
Side Effects: Same
Notes: This time I ate them, again in their shell, in an instant brownie microwave meal. I still can't stomach the food anymore
Attempt #12 Large Castor Bean #2
With some left over Castor beans, I boiled them and ate them as they were. They were gross but mostly stayed down until later that night when they came up again, just like the others
Reason for Failure: Unknown
Side Effects: Same
Notes: Castor beans taste disgusting. If they work for you, great. But they taste horrible and the side effects are the second worst of all methods I've tried
Attempt #13 Pong Pong Seed
I bought multiple Pong Pong seeds from Ebay, the only place that I could find multiple sellers for them. I bought seeds from 5 different sellers, a total of 21 seeds. The Kernels inside were so dried and dead they wouldn't even grow if planted, let alone work for the intended purpose. I finally found two seeds that had a perfect kernel that was healthy and would work. I cooked some dirty rice and ate them, having read that the pong pong seed flavor can be disguised with spicy food. Let me be clear, when they say spicy, they mean really spicy, because the pong pong seeds are completely gross. I'm gagging now just typing this.
Reason for Failure: Unknown
Side Effects: light vomiting, diarrhea, burning mouth, these seeds also made me sick for a few days, and have the worst, most unpleasant side effects of anything I've tried so far
Notes: If you can disguise the taste and have a less durable body this method may work for you. But let me be clear, if you choose the pong pong seed, choose how you eat it carefully, because it is the most disgusting thing I've ever had the misfortune to put in my mouth
This coming Saturday I'm heading down to a Halloween Party, where I've decided to try Zip-ties around the neck. I doubt my body can fight off suffocation like it apparently can poisoning
