Method changers, why?

[christinadler]

Has anybody here changed their preferred method? If so, what method did you drop for which other one? And why?

 

[opheliaoveragain]

I dropped F for SN. The F supply in my country is so completely fucked.

 

[AboutTimeToDepart]

I initially wanted to use partial, then I switched to jumping, then to beheading via rope + car, and then finally back to jumping.

There were a few reasons really. I dropped partial since I'm no longer living alone, and as such can't ensure I will be alone long enough for it to be viable. I dropped the beheading method for jumping because I didn't want someone to have to stumble across that mess. Jumping will likely be messy, sure, but at least in my head, finding someone who has fallen would be less traumatising. I could be wrong though.

I was seriously considering full hanging. As a matter of fact, I'd already chosen three possible anchor points in my home to execute this method.

Then - after finding out about the PP e-Handbook, the FLA book, and eventually this forum - I realized I didn't like full hanging, anymore.

As of this writing, my first preferred method is Nitrogen and my backup method would be Night-night.

 

[Unspoken7612]

As a child I wanted to try suffocation, but you don't need me to say why that doesn't really work.

Then I wanted to try jumping out of a bedroom window. Not far enough to be reliable.

Tried partial suspension quite a lot but eventually concluded the pain was too intense for an attempt to be successful. Couldn't get it to compress my arteries enough without crushing my windpipe.

I wanted to do helium asphyxiation, then nitrogen asphyxiation, but getting hold of either (at least at high enough purity) was difficult.

I strongly considered jumping in front of a train. I think I know the steps that would make this reliable, but in general it is unreliable. Also traumatic for more people than just the bereaved.

This forum turned me onto SN thanks to the BBC's article.

Initially I thought of CO by burning charcoal in the car. After reading through the CO mega thread I found out it was not reliable enough and I was afraid of failing because it can cause horrible damage. Then thought of drowning under OD of ambien but that is to unpredictable and may cause a lot of suffering. Considered train but to complicated because the rails are protected by a fence. I'm now thinking of jumping from 9th floor though its also not fool proof and if I land on my feet I can just be amputated or live paralyzed. I came up with a method to land on my head though.

 

[candy578]

I originally was going for partial, but I've ended up transitioning to using ligatures as a SH method, so I can't personally view it as a viable CTB method anymore. Plus, I live with other people so it'd be hard planning it for a time when they aren't in. I also got caught using it last year, so whenever someone wants to monitor my risk, they ask about if I'm planning to hang myself and I am a terrible liar so it's easier for me to change method and be honest in saying no.

I've moved onto SN, because I feel like it has a good probability of death, I think I would be able to overcome SI easier compared to other methods, it's easier to get away with in my current living situation and it's a relatively easy method to enact.

 

[DeadNotSleeping]

My method is truly due to what I have available to me at the moment. If I could get it I'd choose SN. Not working right now so financially I just can't get it.

Why?

 

[Valhala]

I replaced the inert gas method with SN. SN is a much simpler method and you have a much wider choice in terms of choosing a place for CTB. The inert gas method, despite being smaller, is far more complicated and expensive, and it also limits you greatly in terms of where you want to do it. CTB.

 

[Abyssal]

Because the first one didn't work LOL

 

[Lost Magic]

Yeah, I've hopped around different method ideas. When I do it, I just want to do it right. Lights out goodnight Vienna!

 

[ramon]

Why?

Because, even before reading the aforementioned books and meeting this forum, I've always believed full hanging is just too painful and slow (watch gore site videos of people taking their lives via full hanging).

The books and (mostly) this forum showed me it's possible to CTB through more expensive and more complex, yet faster and less painful ways. Such ways include my now favorite - CTB via inert gas.

I hope I answered your question to your full satisfaction.

I thought it takes like 10 seconds before consciousness is lost

 

[Praestat_Mori]

I would "drop" the CO method for N.

It appears I may be missing information on the matter.

I would dare to say that partial hanging and night-night (compression strangulation) are the ones that, when done correctly, should make you lose consciousness in about 10 seconds.

However, I must confess I let mainstream media and gore site videos influence me to the point of writing off full hanging as too painful, neglecting additional research, and searching other methods.

If you have any sources or any information of your own that favors full hanging as painless, I'd appreciate you leading me them as full hanging's simplicity makes it convenient when you're out of resources (privacy included).

 

[coffeebeany]

I meant to use yew tree leaves. But the process of dying can be long and there is only an estimated time frame. I ll probably use SN now.

I got my information from here: https://sanctioned-suicide.net/thre...h-partial-and-full-suspension-hanging.175612/
It claims that full suspension leads to loss of consciousness within 20 seconds due to compression of the carotid arteries.
I doubt it is painless. I dont know how bad it will be, but personally i dont care about 20 seconds of pain, regardless of how intense it is, and it seems like a very high confidence method.
I havent done extensive research so i could be misinformed myself

 

[ezziiooo678]

i was really close to just using the CO method but then got approved for an account here and found out about SN and switched to that

 

[ordep91]

My initial method was total hanging, as it was easy and lethal, but after reading the forum a little more I ended up discovering SN, which is very accessible in my country and seems to be a completely peaceful method.

i really envy you. i can hardly find any available SN in my country. gonna keep looking i suppose.

 

[Chaosire]

I had everything for the exit bag method and got it all set up. But I noticed it scared me. Was forced to get rid of the tank, but I have the rest of the supplies still.

I think it was the instant finality that scared me off. I've tried suffocating myself and hanging, which resulted in a similar response. So I quit due to SI.
I've also tried OD'ing in the past. This is slower and caused a lot more suffering, yet I was able to start it twice and see it through both times. But sadly got found to early, the first time, and didn't take enough the second time. They reduced the size of my prescribed boxes due to my first attempt.

So I'm thinking of ordering SN, now I found DMC. I'm pretty sure I can get the meds needed for the full regime, to make it as comfortable and successful as possible.

I think the fact that the action of taking it and the effect of it are somewhat separated makes it easier for me. I've tested it, recently, with the same medication I've OD'd on. It was really easy for me to take triple my prescribed dose, even though I knew it would result in extreme physical suffering for a few hours and the very, very, very slight chance I wouldn't wake up. But that only started about an hour after me taking the pills.

So yeah.. I do hope that a slower loss of consciousness into eternity will work for me, once more.

 

[backtoearth]

I have multiple failed ODs from OTC meds from my teenage years, which I now know is completely unreliable so ditched it (also I don't know if I could stomach that again)

Then I turned to full hanging, realized I would need to go outside, so dropped that for partial. I found that too difficult/painful and couldn't deal with the sensation of that amount of pressure so couldn't follow through.

Now my preferred would be opioid OD or SN (if I could be so lucky), I just haven't had money or enough certainty that I will never improve my life so I am taking my time to decide and prep properly so if I do choose to CTB I will only have to do it once.

 

[deadzombie6]

Yes at first I overdosed it dint work and then I was obsessed with dying with hanging especially partial but it dint work and I was too much of a coward for full suspension hanging so currently I'm thinking of going with SN

 

[CantDoIt]

SN to N! I'm pretty sure I'm able to find a supplier.

 

[KillingPain267]

I switched from slicing my throat, to train, to jumping, to train again, to hanging, to SN, to opioid OD, to SN again, to hanging again, to nitrogen and finally to SN. Nitrogen would be preferred but I'm to stupid to figure out the setup and it's a bit too expensive. SN is within a few week's reach. If I survive SN, I'm gonna go with nitrogen if I still retain freedom, or with hanging or train if I get exposed as a "harm to myself" and watched closely by my family.

 

[[EmptySpace]]

I wanted to ctb by train or SN and 10000% I didn't want to hang myself. Buuut SN is not my choice because I think my SI will work and I'll call emergency servies. And train ehhh... I saw a video with a person who tried this method. It was really bloody and he shouted in pain because the train didn't kill him. It was horryfiing.
So I decide partial hanging because I don't know... I started liking the idea of being hanged and it's perfect for me

 

[destinationlosangel]

Hanging to N to SN

 

[zenirsar]

Jumping to SN

 

[Tuonetar_]

A firearm would be my top choice, but I live in an apartment complex and I don't want to unintentionally cause harm to anyone else. I also hate to think of someone scrubbing my brains off the walls or picking up pieces of my skull after my death--I realize that there are professionals for that sort of thing but why add to the workload? Lol.

Inert gas sounded good, but it has too many variables. For now SN is my top choice.
