Shallow Water Blackout

[SuicideByBelt]

Hey there,

I'm hoping to kill myself through Shallow Water Blackout.

I will hyperventilate, and then jump in the water once I'm in a weak state.

I've been trying to practice by trying to make myself faint - by hyperventilating for 60 seconds and then holding my breath. It doesn't work.

Would you have any advice on trying to faint?

i dont think fainting would be enough. u may have better luck if unconscious

This method seems like it would be almost impossible to execute without any kind of additional equipment. Perhaps you could combine it with something like night night so you would actually be unconscious as opposed to just light-headed.

I had a friend who died in less-than-knee-deep water. He was totally drunk.

I'm sorry about whatever has led you to contemplate this, and wish you good outcomes going forward.

Hi, how do you exactly plan to do this? Give some details if you can (for ex. if you are using a hot-tub/sea/lake)

@SuicideByBelt you can read about some SWB experiments here: https://kefkaponders.wordpress.com/category/suicide-2/
Seems it is impossible for an average person, but users in one thread found a possible alternative: you induce fainting while standing in water and breath in water in unconscious state (fainting method is shown in youtube video). However, nobody tested it yet.

Heard from multiple sources that this method isn't very reliable. Your best bet would probably to either drug yourself to find another method.

You might have more luck doing inducing unconsciousness on a beachy head, side of a bridge or (if you have access to one where you won't be disturbed) the bow of a boat. I think it's going to be unsuccessful anywhere else.

If you do it any of those places, though, just know that you'll probably regain consciousness mid-air. It will just be too late to do anything about it.

What drugs should I take? Is it painless?
