Venting I get so irrationally jealous when I read about Golden Age of Hollywood suicides

[astonishedturnip]

"CTB via Seconal overdose"
"overdosed on sleeping pills"
"overdosed on barbiturates mixed with alcohol"

Like keeping rubbing it in that you had it easy smh just took some pills and drifted off to sleep. Golden Age of CTB by OD more like.

Is it true that these things are just unobtainable now?

 

[Abyssal]

God yes! So accessible! Thought this was just me

 

[AkaRed]

I would kill someone to have CTB be so blatantly accessible rn. I agree 100% :')

<3

The things that killed were made to not kill anymore. I mean as medication goes that's a good thing that you can't die when you just wanna sleep but it's also to ward off suicides too. Haha jk companies don't care it's to ward off lawsuits

If I ever meet one of the pro-life activists or surviving relatives who make sure reliable CTB methods are completely banned and even removed from search engines, I'm going full orangutan mode. Like I'm sorry for your mf loss but your kid got their hands on SN and died a relatively peaceful death, now you're making ME throw myself off of a hotel balcony and my parents get to cremate literal pulp? FOH. Bring back Seconal already

People are often wistful about the 50's and 60's when it comes to suicide. But having the internet is a pretty good boon I'd say. Not that carbon monoxide and barbiturates technically stopped being options.

 

[divinemistress36]

Didn't Marilyn Monroe ctb from barbiturates?

 

[uncat_]

my parents get to cremate literal pulp

is it bad to laugh at that.. oh my goodness ajkg

 

[UKscotty]

I don't know, these methods are so unreliable which is why they are not so popular.

 

[lnlybnny]

Sameeee. Also Prince and Michael Jackson, amongst others. I think they had a peaceful death

 

[FuneralCry]

I really envy them as well, those who were able to die peacefully on their own terms were so fortunate to me. It's devastating to me how we cannot just have the option to die in peace, it's cruel and horrible how I cannot just fall into an eternal, dreamless sleep. It must had been such a relief for those people to be able to die in such a peaceful way.

Where I live, barbiturates are still prescribed to treat seizures, but it's very rare, it's a last resort treatment. You'd better look for phenobarbital or primidone on the darknet.

 

[TheDruBo]

This is the worst time period in history. Not just for ctb, but for everything. Imagine being able to just go to your doctor from the 40s to the late 80s and simply say you can't sleep very well. Barbiturate presciption on it's way...That'll do nicely!

 

[hellispink]

They had it so easy. I am jealous too. I was born in the wrong generation. This 21st century has been a disgrace, humans are deep into a hole instead of advancing with time. They should have made euthanasia a right for everybody regardless of age mental state race religion whatever it is. But that doesnt give them money so of course they wont.

 

[Little_Suzy]

Are y'all forgetting about crack and opioids? and, the Covid…? lol

Those were the good old days. Harder to live, maybe, but so much easier to die. … lucky, glamorous, VD-ridden, beautiful jerks. Live fast, sort of, use a lot of hair spray, kiss Don Draper looking mofos with perfect pompadours, smoke anywhere and everywhere, and when you get blue, if you don't get forced ECT in an asylum, which frankly would be more exciting than a lot of things, you could just take your current script, die in your sleep, and look fantastic while doing it. Not a her out of place and not a chance of those pills failing you with enough hooch
