Venting Suicide is "easy"

[unlucky melancholia]

My ex said I was dumb and told me finding reliable suicide methods is common sense knowledge and one would easily do it successfully if one wants to ctb. I know he's smart (a genius who went to college at a young age). But still what he said made me feel like I was dumb af...

No, he's wrong. It's one thing to be able to find information, but another thing entirely to be able to find a method that you feel comfortable enough with, obtain materials, actually go through with it, and succeed...

It's easy to think that until you try. I never thought my first attempt at hanging would fail. I didn't realize there were so many details to get right and underestimated the power of SI. Multiple times I considered jumping and assumed (likely wrongly) the height would be sufficient. The more reliable (extreme height, gunshot) or peaceful (N) a method is, the less accessible it is. Sure, we'll always have good 'ole hanging and other forms of asphyxiation, but anyone who's really, genuinely been on the brink of suicide knows it's a lot harder than just tying a noose.

 

[unlucky melancholia]

I don't think I can obtain N or SN... And I'm afraid if my hanging attempt fails, I would end up becoming a vegetable...
Maybe a reliable method is jumping off a cliff near me... Someone succeeded with this method 2 years ago

I always thought suicide would be easy until my first attempt. Everything has to be basically perfect for it to work, the doses have to be right, the height has to be high enough. Hanging seemed easy to me before but the more I researched the harder it all became. A lot of attempts fail, it's not as easy as he thinks.
Even with N or SN it's hard to obtain. Sure finding methods is easy enough but being able to do it isn't

Only someone who is clueless about suicide would say such a thing. So much is involved, from availability of stuff to social restrictions and survival instinct.

I would even go further and say that's it's a lack of empathy to say such thing

I have a nitrogen tank, SN and N (accumulated over a couple of years). It's still not easy. Never will be. Your ex has no clue.

 

[Red Scare]

Dying is easy. Very easy, the human body is not that strong. It's living that is hard.

it is pretty easy if you live in america with access to fired arms

No, to pull the trigger that one little inch is the hardest thing in the world, and then there is the fear of failure. I think if was as easy as just reaching out and pushing a button with a 100% painless guarantee of success most of us would be long gone by now.

If suicide were easy, more people would be doing it. Your friend is so, so misguided.

 

[lostmylove]

Suicide is easy. The act itself can be done proven painlessly in several methods or low pain in others.

Issue is the mentality leading up to it, crossing the line, overriding the feelings of survival etc that's what isn't easy. But yeah he's right in a sense but probably not for the reasons he thinks he is

 

[Pluto]

If it were that easy, why do the majority of attempts fail? Being smart doesn't stop someone from being ignorant.

If u want to ctb , live with the agony , ctb without any reasons is just dumb.

More people are doing it, like more than ever. Suicides are up especially among males in the 25-35 age demographic.

 

[Graytaichi]

Every hour there is 3 males died of ctb. Being dumb is a blessing for those who intend to ctb. Its a blessingg. Suicide is never easy,unless u have N

 

[FuneralCry]

There is nothing easy about suicide, we live in a world where our right to die is not respected and we are denied the option of a peaceful way to exit. People have to resort to risky methods that can fail in order to end their pain. Even with access to peaceful methods, there would still be the survival instinct which can make it very difficult to ctb. I think that if it was easier to leave this world, I would already be gone.

He's an idiot.

 

[rabbitlinnt10]

Ugh that's cringe, some loser told me the same thing a few months ago. Saying instructions to something is easy while not giving an direct answer is basically them basically jerkin off in your ear while they brag about their IQ, they're absolute melts

Obviously spoken by someone who has never been suicidal and has no idea what he is talking about. Committing suicide is harder than it first appears to be. You have to prepare yourself mentally to be ready to die. You can have everything you need for your method available to use any time, but it is hard to overcome your SI, take the final step and do it.

Your ex is a jerk. Who makes fun of a suicidal person and tells them that they are dumb for failing to commit suicide, and if they really wanted to die, they would have succeeded? Even people with a reliable method and a good plan in place can fail sometimes.

 

[Livingvsdying25]

Glad to read thats an EX. Even if you have easy access to methofs to actually execute and fight the bodies like survival instincts and such is not easy. It's really annoying when people don't get the depths of like killing yourself. If it was simple a lot of us would be gone by now.

Mine as well.

 

[that_guy2611]

It's easy in the sense of there are clear methods that work so pick one but it's not easy in the mental sense.

 

[thedaywillcome]

SI dude! SI dude! If you have N, firearm or rope SI is the problem.

Actually my ex is depressed and has social anxiety, so he doesn't really talk to anyone besides me. He has a lot of insecurities himself. He is passively suicidal and understands why I want to commit suicide. Actually he's the only person irl who knows I'm suicidal and empathizes with me. He's just very insecure and very arrogant at the same time. He's a child prodigy and is arrogant about his intelligence and thinks that he always has the right judgments.

It's neither easy nor hard, which are actually pretty useless descriptions when it comes to something as complex as suicidal behaviour. For one thing, there appears to be a genetic component, which means if you don't have those genes present you're not going to be suicidal. Of course folks generally are famously ignorant, so you'll forever hear things as being easy, or taking the easy way out. Ignorance is everywhere, unfortunately.
