I am pretty close to the end. For the last 9 years the only reason I stayed alive was for the sake of my dog. But now he's dying. He has maybe another couple of weeks left.

Here's the thing, my plan was through SI, right? But now I'm not sure because I'm letting my dog die at home and I'd like to go holdhling him. I really don't want him to get covered in blood, so now I'm thinking pills.
I originally wanted to do it away from home so as not to decrease property values for my parents. But with chance of survival being higher, I can't risk doing it in public.

What do you think? Can I get some personal opinions please?

Yes, it's from the acronyms page
Well, here it's more commonly used as an acronym for Survival Instinct, so hence the need for clarification. Also, SN is a common way to "hurt" oneself, and since "typos" happen all the time, wasn't sure if you really meant that.

Ohh I see, I was just trying to be a bit gentler or something so as not to upset anyone 🤦🏻‍♀️ I had just seen someone else use it as self injury a few minutes before, so i thought it was more common. My bad! I suppose there's not really a need to sensor yourself here anyway

It's all good. You're right - everyone here has pretty much heard it all, so really no need to censor "in most cases". If in doubt, you can always put whatever might be in question under a "Spoiler".

Thank you 😊 I'm not very active on here (I might be more so for the foreseeable though) so I don't quite know how it works

Cutting is a very unreliable method. You have a 1-4% chance of success. More than likely you'll get nerve damage and make a massive mess with all the blood but survive.

it is so incredibly unlikely that you'd be able to bring yourself to do that. if you don't believe me, I think you may find out for yourself if you attempt to give it a try. the human body was not made to injure itself in such a manner as this, unless you're severely mentally unstable or extremely motivated with absolutely zero hope of acquiring literally any other method. but this method involves an extreme body envelope violation and suffering, and most people could not bring themselves to do this no matter what the situation is.

you also mentioned pills. while this is certainly easier to do from a survival instinct perspective, this is also incredibly unlikely to work. most pills these days are generally quite safe even in extreme doses.

i'd recommend avoiding both of these to spare yourself any headaches or hard feelings from failing. you've been on this site for a while it seems, but have you checked out the suicide resource compilation? you may find something better there. and remember, if you ever have any questions, hesitations, or ideas about any method, it's important to ask questions like you're doing now rather than go in blind on assumptions. people here are quite knowledgeable, and with something as important and consequential as CTB, it's imperative that you don't do it impulsively on little information.

I'm sorry for the dog, and you too- that sounds so sad. :/

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. I was looking through the resources a little earlier but I don't have the means or guts for most of them. I will probably go with the pills and maybe SH too and hope for the best. I will be thinking about it more seriously when the time comes though. I'll make an informed decision

if you're still determined to go down the pills route, be extremely careful with what pills you choose. the side effects and long term damage can be quite extensive depending on which drug you choose. i will say that tylenol/paracetamol is a big NO. it has a chance to kill you if you take enough, but it will be a long, grueling, and torturous death as your liver fails.

but i'm glad to hear you'll do some more thinking, that is good to hear. be careful. and remember, we're here if you have any more questions or ideas.

I've tried paracetamol before so I know it's not worth it. I have a lot of pregabalin at my disposal so I was going to use that

Both cutting and that medication are not going to do anything but make you sick and bloody. "Hoping for the best" with two unreliable methods is a terrible idea. I know you are in a lot of pain and want out but this will not get you out, it will only get you in a worse off position. Do not do this.

doesn't look like that will be fatal at all, just unpleasant. have you researched that drug before?

Yeah, it's got something of a death rate, I couldn't figure out how much I'd need to take though. (35mg/L) I think that's 35mg per litre of blood. But I gave no idea how many pills I'd have to take to get that. I think I have enough but I'm not 100% obviously

Everything has something of a death rate. You can die by drinking too much water or going on a walk or eating too many bananas. Anything can kill you. Doesn't mean the odds are in your favor. You'd probably vomit before reaching toxic levels in your blood, and if you do reach toxic levels it seems to be a bunch of unpleasant symptoms with an incredibly slim chance of death. Don't do it.

Unfortunately, cutting and ODing on pills are ineffective suicide methods. You shouldn't do either of those methods. Instead, do something that's more reliable and more peaceful
