Viability of Drowning?

Viability of drowning?

I live in a coastal region, so naturally I've been growing an affection for the sea. When it comes to CTB, FSH has been the way I've accepted I'll do it. I wonder how it might compare? Hanging is more painful, but considering I get the technique right I should be lights out pretty quick. Drowning, I imagine it'll be slower, but perhaps not so painful?

I could take out one of those blow up boats and head out during the night. Maybe take my meds first, so I'm tired, tie some weights to my ankles and down I'd go, maybe it would even stop me coming ashore some time after. I'd love to never be found. Although I'll be dead so I suppose it wouldn't matter anyway. The water is cold here too, I wonder how that might affect the experience.

Do you think that it's a reliable method, considering I weight myself down and wouldn't be able to fight against it even if I tried? If I go out at night no one would find me to save me.

I never thought I'd be okay going out in a way where I can't breathe, but it's becoming more and more... I'm not sure the word I want to describe that. It's just, suffocating seems very... fitting for me.

Believe me, you don't want to try this method. It's excruciating painful. As someone who survived dworning in my youth, there's no pain I can compare to what I felt during this experience.

Drowning would be much harder, painful and scarier than hanging - at least if you hang yourself and make sure to block the carotid arteries.
But yes, weighing yourself down and making a knot that is difficult to untie and jumping off a boat (dont go too deep, the pressure will cause extra pain), with a long way to shallower water is a viable method.

I see, I never imagined it to be so painful. I'm sorry you had to experience that. Thank you for the information

I never thought about the effects of pressure at depths at all, thanks for letting me know. I'm not sure how deep the water goes in my area, but seems hanging may still be my best option.

I've almost drowned twice. It was not painful at all to me even when the water entered my lungs. I wasn't thinking about pain at all because I was just trying to stay above the water. But it is panic inducing to a degree I've never felt in my life since. SI is going to be extremely strong. It would not be a peaceful way to go out

Can you share a bit more detail what it's like? Such as it not being painful at all

I've also read in other forums of different people's experiences who have also almost drowned but survived it, and them also saying the same thing, of it not being painful

Some even mentioned it feeling peaceful and blissful. Is this true??

But have also heard some people saying it was extremely painful. Just kind of confused how come for some people it was peaceful, while for some people it was painful

Thank you for your input. Seems with this method, it might be a bit of a flip of the coin on whether it ends up painful or not, and whether it works out peaceful or not. The panic reaction appears to be the only thing set in stone that I'd definitely experience. I'm still curious about it as a method, but I will be doing some more thinking about it.

My guess is that the presence, degree, and duration of laryngospasm can make a difference. If you try to hold your breath for as long as you can, you may notice strong tension and contractions in your chest, which are significantly unpleasant. The same thing may happen if your airways are obstructed due to muscle spasms. On the other hand, if water can freely enter the lungs and air can freely escape from there, this may prevent or reduce the tension, so the person wouldn't experience significant discomfort. Just my thoughts, maybe there are other factors.

Good to know. Always appreciate your input and insights. Thanks

The problem is that there is no way to know how painful it would be to have your lungs filled up with water

One way to potentially decrease the pain and discomfort, is to try passing out before falling into the water, so hopefully can drown while already unconscious

Look up N20. It's a type of laughing gas to inhale. Try searching for N20 and drowning on this forum. You will find some old and recent discussions about it

I'm actually considering using that method as well

Me too. I've concluded passing out and drowning is the way to go but I need more research on whats going to make me stay unconscious long enough

The main thing I remember feeling both times was just pure fear and terror and trying to just stay alive. I was passively suicidal during both instances but my instincts completely took over. The first time my cousin came to save me and I almost drowned him as well in the process but we both made it. I had swallowed two mouthfuls of water into my lungs and was coughing and gagging trying to get it out while losing strength in the process and my mind was in a state of pure fear and panic. Ive never been a very amphibious person though, im sure it could potentially be peaceful to someone who loves the water and was under the influence

Can imagine it to be extremely painful to have your lungs filled with water

Why? It's just water, not sulfuric acid ))

i think there will be an unbearable sense of pressure in your chest when you drown

 

[AntarusDragon]

what about having had a lot of alcohol? It, so to speak, suppresses the central nervous system

What would cause that sense of pressure? Water itself is not so heavy. If you fill your lungs with mercury, then its pressure to the lungs' surface could be high enough to cause such perceptions.
