Is there a specific method you'd never even consider using to ctb?

[vergi]

What's the most unreliable/brutal/inconvenient method you can think of, that you'd never attempt no matter the desperation?
My ideal method would probably be SN, or maybe trying to OD on benzos and downing a bunch of vodka in the hopes of making my death seem more like an accident

But is there any specific method you'd never even consider using?
I'm just curious about people's personal feelings and views on certain methods, since I don't think I have many "hot takes" regarding them.
For me personally, I'd do anything to avoid the most painful methods like self immolation or drowning, but that's honestly it.
I might prefer things like ODing or using SN over other methods, but I could also see myself doing something like decapitation by train or jumping if things got extremely messy in my life, even if I'd do almost anything to avoid causing problems for other people who have to deal with recovering my body... I'd still choose being able to ctb effectively over some stranger having the displeasure of wiping my blood off of some train. Firearms would be an easy way out too but I couldn't get my hands on any sadly.. I just want to hear other people's thoughts on the matter

 

[Agon321]

Generally, throwing myself in front of a vehicle (including trains).
Self-immolation, drowning, taking chemicals that will cause extreme pain (SN, etc., is within my tolerance).
I also have a very serious problem with hanging myself, and I don't think I'd choose that method. I'd have to be very very desperate to try it.

 

[fedup1982]

I'd never do hanging. The suffering is unreal

 

[The Unanswered Q]

People really only do self-immolation to make some sort of statement, highly doubt someone would do it if their goal was to die and nothing else.

To answer the question though, probably jumping, either off a building or in front of a train because you'll end up severely maimed if you survive. Also ODs and cutting because of how ineffective they are.

 

[Liebestod]

Drowning or intentionally crashing a vehicle.

 

[FuneralCry]

Anything that would just lead to more suffering instead of me finally being at true permanent peace, I find it so terrifying how trying to cease existing can go wrong and lead to way worse pain and torture as a result.

It's horrific to me how there is no limit as to how much a human can suffer in this existence and I only continue to suffer as I'm so cruelly denied the option to cease existing painlessly that is guaranteed with no more suffering.

 

[Intoxicated]

For me personally, I'd do anything to avoid the most painful methods

Sounds like those "most painful" methods chase you and you have to make a huge effort to get away from the pursuit )) I noticed that anti-drowning propaganda is pretty common on this forum, but sometimes it has remarkably weird forms. Well, I wouldn't try to consciously drown myself in boiling water or concentrated hydrochloric acid - this could be really painful indeed )

 

[anonymousperson]

Wondering why you think this? All the videos I've seen the person doesn't look in pain amd passes out within seconds.

SN for me, can't deal with waiting and how long it takes.

 

[InTheAbyss]

For me things like jumping in front of a vehicle, intentionally crashing a vehicle, self immolation are a no go.

 

[qwert3948]

honestly nothing is off the table for me if i'm desperate enough
i probably just wouldn't do a very obviously risky method. i wouldn't throw myself in front of a car, for example. but i might do if it's a train.
i probably would not try to bleed to death either or starve, since it's highly painful methods and you most likely end up tapping out midway

 

[tiredcat]

personally, nothing including hanging/firearms. i don't even think i'd have the guts to put myself in front of traffic or jump from anything. if i ever did make the decision it'd have to be in my sleep or something </3

Obvious question with an obvious answer: I would not consider any of the methods that have a significant chance of failing and/or resulting in greater suffering or injury. Shouldn't be too hard of a concept to grasp.

 

[Upon a hanging Body]

Here's a short list of methods I would never attempt even if I was given the chance .
Freezing to death
Heatstroke
Electrocution (I tried this as a dumb kid and omfg never again)
Radiation Poisoning
Rat Poisoning
Starvation
Dehydration
Venom poisoning
Self immolation

 

[Unicron]

Hanging, jumping and drowning all scare me. In fact, almost everything other than OD'ing does.

 

[CatLvr]

Drowning. Ever been waterboarded?? Before you want to drown yourself, get 6 of your closest friends together and give it a go. It is horrible. IMHO, of course.

 

[Freedomm]

I think there's nothing scarier than fire and water.

 

[Permanoir]

Jumping and drowning. I can't mention methods like train, decapitation and self immolation because I don't even think about them.

 

[mirror_mercury]

hanging

i've been choked by cousin countless times

it's painful

 

[SomewhereAlongThe]

A few actually,

I don't know how the few people who were on here and declared they would do this did it, if they did but,

Burning to death

I am NOT going out a failed cooking experiment. No way, like I don't know how a person could muster up the courage to BURN THEMSELVES ALIVE but that's not me... too crazy. The pain would be tremendous and I think you'd be able to smell yourself cooking. Just no.

Then there's the famous

SN

I don't get how everyone chooses this method. I can't imagine willingly ingesting poison into my system, that would take a lot of strength to just do. I worry about the pain and the discomfort of this method, plus the vomiting which I've seen. Maybe I just don't know much about SN but it doesn't seem like it's for me.

Then there's others like:

Drowning - I imagine there's lots of panic involved
Jumping off a Cliff - Don't have the nerve to fall
Jumping in front of a train - I imagine you really feel it
Hanging - Can't stand the idea of being strangled to death

I really don't know why SN is so popular on this site. There are way easier methods that are highly effective. Getting SN is a whole process, and then you need a bunch of drugs to prevent the extreme discomfort. To each their own I guess.

 

[Dusk till dawn]

Hanging, and especially full suspension hanging

 

[kopebaldy]

Drowning

Almost drowned twice as a kid. Miss me with that shit.

 

[rainwillneverstop]

Any method that involuntarily involves other people into the CTB.
So train, cars etc.

 

[NeverMore21]

No, there is no method I can't use.

 

[westerly_merlin]

Would not choose a method that involves others (train, car crash etc). I want to end my own suffering not inflict it on others.

 

[Hangman.]

• Self Immolation
• Car/Train
• Voluntary starving/dehydration
• Overdosing on prescription medications

Assuming "SN" here refers to the sleep drug, I don't see how you can levy any complaints against it. It puts you to sleep then cuts breathing. You don't even "know" you're dying. It's just highly illegal and hard to get, and then there is the chance of barfing it up after swallowing. But if you can't eat a slice of bread or follow simple instructions for a peaceful exit . . . I don't know what to tell you except "skill issue."

Personally, I think that medications that are easy to buy or over the counter are very risky, in the sense that they may not work or may lead to a more serious problem — and that would not be death.
I will use as an example a medicine that my family frequently buys because of long car trips, this medicine is capable of inducing an absurd drowsiness, but if used excessively it causes dry mouth, severe stomach pain and urinary retention.

There was a time when I thought about throwing myself in front of trains and other vehicles, but I realized that this idea is pathetic because, if I wanted to die quickly, the vehicle would have to be in high speed or being strategically hit in some vital spot directly while high on something or BOTH. Which is really hard for me, especially the high part.

Jumping off a building also sounds easy and simple to do, as long as the building has 20+ floors and I can climb to the rooftop. Which is complicated, since I live in a house and I don't know anyone who lives in a building like that.

Regarding firearms, my country is a bit complicated in this regard. Anyone who has access to them (and it's not political, police or whatever) needs a license and a good reason for doing so. I don't have time, money, psychological report or patience.

Dehydration, starvation, self-immolation = long, painful, easy to report to authorities or some health organization, rarely works and is not a method you see every day (in other words, you can't say it was done unintentionally, only in EXTREME CASES)
