Slitting my throat?

[arcadia]

I really need to die as soon as possible. I don't have access to my own funds, and my family checks any packages I get. Would cutting my throat with a butcher knife be a good idea? I'm really desperate.
I just want to leave

i don't think that's a very reliable idea.. it's too risky, imo. theres a big chance youd be alive and just have a now very fucked up neck with it's own plethora of issues. i havent done much research on it myself but i remember a thread about it and yeah you'd have an easier time going for shallow water blackout or partial hanging or something. those two have a lot more research behind em and should be possible even without much funds or the ability to order things (since most people already own a long belt/jumprope/idk)

Very hard. SI would stop most people, plus the pain

Find somewhere accessible to jump, if you really want to go.

I'm sure you can find somewhere high enough, if you're that intent.

I have always wanted to slip my throat. But if it just not a reliable method. Jumping should be easier with less room for errors as long as the height is about 8 floors above the better. There should be somewhere, one needs to think straight where where

8 floors

i think it's supposed to be 10+ ? theres a jumping megathread and they measured it in like. meters. let me find that

edit: there is no jumping megathread, but it was discussed here:

Jumping off a high building - Lost All Hope

Whilst jumping from height can be a very effective method of suicide (providing it is from sufficient height), it does not account for a particularly high percentage of suicides in either the US or the UK. Having said that, in Honk Kong it accounted for over half of all suicides in 20061, so...

That method sounds so incredibly horrific and risky to me, at least I wouldn't try to die that way, I know that I couldn't ever bring myself to ctb in such a way. But I very much understand just wanting to be gone, I hate this hellish world where we were forced to exist so unfairly yet are denied options of peaceful ways to leave. If someone wants to leave they should just be able to die in peace and others should have no right to interfere with this.

Yeah, I wish I could just press a button and leave to be honest. We're hard wired to have SI which makes leaving hard enough, every method has some risks (what if you become a vegetable, what if it fails ect). And ontop of that, finding graceful methods is just incredibly difficult. Most people try to make leaving so hard, I'd be gone if I had access to N. I think jumping as everybody mentioned is the best choice for me. I just need to find a day where my family wouldn't know.

Probably not. How sharp is it?

It's honestly pretty blunt. Took a good amount of pressure to cut my arm. It wouldn't work I feel.

Can be less if you go head first

Can be less if you go head first

meh. when choosing a method i try not to focus on the "can be"s. with methods like jumping or trains or shit its gotta be 100% or nothing

 

[dw33ter]

would 20+ floors be enough to pretty much guarantee success for jumping?

ofc I know that nothing is 100%, but chances of surviving should be v low with that height??

 

[lukas19]

Nothing is 100%. People have survived falling from airplanes before but at the same time people have died falling from 20ft.

Reckon so as long it is on solid ground.

Yes the higher the better. However i would jump of a 8th if no more options were given.
