Easy, quick and painless are the ideals.. not just for suicide but for any person and all ways of dying, but in most cases it seems too good to be true. So I've carefully planned mine to try and achieve those things as closely as possible. My preferred method is hanging.. I've done a lot of reading, research and I've got my set up and practiced before so I'm satisfied with my choice and I feel confident about it. I know I can do it but held back by SI and finding courage. One thing that helps comfort me is to remind myself and be aware of all the numbers of people now and in the past who have gone through the same method as I will. Young, old, men, women, impulsive, planned, whatever their reason may be - I'm not the first and I won't be the last. If they can do it, so can I. I also try to remind myself that, although suicide isn't the ideal scenario, and hanging isn't others ideal death, there are always worse deaths out there. So I try to be aware that hanging, when done right and in the least painful way, is far easier than all the unfortunate people who die from being attacked or murderer, being in an accident where they possibly died slowly and painfully, the thousands of people (even today) who get severely injured during war and bleed out slowly.. I know to some people it may sound bizarre or twisted to think this way but it's definitely a coping mechanism for me. I try to be grateful that if I'm going to die by hanging, it's not the worst way to die compared to many other ways..
