Help Is drinking bleach reliable?

[CyanideSoup]

I'm currently unable to buy anything dangerous because I'm under the careful watch of my family. So I'm a bit limited on resources. Is household bleach a reliable method? I know it will be painful but Im desperate.

 

[KiraLittleOwl]

Please don't. It is only reliable to cause horrible permanent damage.

I am sorry you are feeling desperate; stay safe, don't hurt yourself unecessarily.

It will reliably cause you horrific pain and suffering and permanent damage, but not death. Please don't.

 

[Jean Améry]

I'm not an expert but from what I've read no. You'll likely survive with horrible injuries. I understand feeling desperate but bleach is without a doubt one of the worst ways to go, if it even kills you and you're not rushed to the hospital and 'saved'. Imo it's absolutely not worth the gamble and it's highly likely you'll not only end up in horrible pain for a very long time (perhaps the rest of your life) but also your situation will be even more hopeless. Surviving bleach is the stuff of nightmares.

I'd advise to talk about what you're going through to at least keep the desperation (which I'm sure many here are familiar with) managable untill you can figure out what to do. I'm not suggesting anything but almost anything is better than what you suggested here. Don't do this.

That one can and will leave your throat and esophagus burned and then likely not kill you at all but have your stomach throw up all the contents and then burn on the way back up. But the burn will leave permanent scarring and ghastly upper GI, mouth and throat problems. This is not reliable, not a sure way and not something you should consider. Please don't try this, it is not even really a method of suicide just a way to cause burning and scarring of delicate tissue.

 

[BeeLoyal]

Like most of people said... horrible idea. Horrible, veeery horrible.

 

[GoodPersonEffed]

Suggest you do a Google search of the term "bleach suicide." Results show it doesn't end in death very often, but instead with the long-term effects described here and even worse ones.

 

[serah]

I also wanted to try this method since it's inexpensive and sounds simple. But after some research it's not only extremely painful, you'll probably end up throwing it up. You'll end up with several fucked up organs and a lot of regrets. Don't try it man.

 

[blivogade]

From what ive read in the past, No.
As everyone above has stated, it will most likely just cause horrific pain, Im sorry that you feel so desperate to even consider this.

holy shit do not drink bleach. this would be like setting yourself on fire as a CTB method, like you might not even die.

please reach out to some motherfuckers here before you do anything buddy i'm talking to a few people. i would never tell you NOT to CTB as i am pro choice but i'm willing to talk with ppl

Well put. Especially the 'a place of informed consent'. I'm very much in favour of people making rational decisions, whatever they may be. Even if we recognise the individual's right to self-determination it's clear sometimes strong emotions make rational thinking difficult and it is indeed better to wait. To recognise when one isn't rational or in a good state of mind is a sure sign of wisdom. To point this out to others (respectfully of course) is sure sign of benevolence and good will.

nah based is like internet slang for when something is true/agreeable. like if i thought starcraft was a shitty game and i said "starcraft sucks ass", and if you agreed with me you'd say "based"

Thanks very much. I suppose the op asked if the method was reliable, but i do feel a level of care for people on this forum and dont want anybody to feel any more pain than necessary. Seems like most of us have tolerated enough pain to the point where we are considering ending our lives early.

Here's What Really Happens If You Drink Bleach, Drain Cleaner, or Other Toxic Chemicals

We all know that we shouldn't drink toxic chemicals like bleach and drain cleaner, but what happens if you do?

[CyanideSoup]

Yeah I shouldve listened

 

[WhatIsMyLife]

Yeah I shouldve listened

Wait... You drank it?

 

[MissKatrina]

Bleach was my first attempt. It tastes absolutely awful. Even a little will induce vomiting. It will severely irritate your mouth nose oesophagus and stomach so if you survive, recovery isn't great. It will take time for you to die and be very painful. Self instinct will likely kick in or you'll be rescued

I put bleach up there with paracetamol OD, dehydration and trains. All under a big NOPE.

 

[CyanideSoup]

Drank it a few hours ago. It was so painful and tasted absolutely disgusting. I threw up instantly. Now at the hospital and my throat and mouth is burned but other than that it did nothing

For real? How much did you drink? What is the treatment?

 

[WhatIsMyLife]

Ugh... That's awful I hope you don't have any long term effects as a result.

Why are you controlled by your family if you dont mind asking?

 

[Kumachan]

even self immolation ranks above that in peacefulness!

You asked for opinions, every one was strongly against the idea, including some with references, and you still went ahead with it? What was the purpose in asking if you weren't going to take any notice of the mass of advice and concern shown for you?

Not trying to be an asshole here, just genuinely perplexed.

Maybe drink the bleach to put the fire out, get the worst of both worlds!

 

[Jumper Geo]

Probably because they drink bleach when there not looking, even against every bodies advice on SS with links to what damage can be caused.

If you are not still in the hospital , call ambulance . it is acide and it make a permanent damage

I'm surprised those users who blindly support people making badly-bungled SN attempts aren't acting similarly here – claiming that individual differences mean bleach isn't painful for some people, saying the effects of drinking bleach aren't intuitive to those without medical backgrounds, saying our warnings against bleach are in fact unfair personal criticisms of the OP, and finally thanking the OP for providing us with such a useful data point (!)
