What factors did you take into account when choosing your method?

[MasonMadeThings]

I hhave decided to use SN. I chose this because I want my mom to be able to look at my body without being scared. I want to look the same way I did when I was alive without any reconstruction needed. What methods did you guys choose and why?

I am also using sn, but the body could be in bad condition with this method. The skin will be blue and very sickly looking and a person is likely to throw up a lot and a person will release their bowels with this- #1 and #2 will be all around. The body iks likely to be in poor condition after using this method.

Speed and the least painful. Some of you may know I went with N2 but I had some problems with the regulator so my back up plan is partial hanging. It will be more painful but if I do it correctly then I should pass out within seconds

It's much better than having my brains blown out on the wall right next to me, tbf.

 

[HermitLonerGuy]

well i chose to drown myself in the ocean by jumping off the pier.

for me its because i have no money and im not good with my hands so id fuck up hanging and tying a good knot and im no good with mixing stuff or making complicated devices etc. it seems normal to a normal person but im so useless i cant even do simple things.

We all have our strengths and weaknesses, don't let that out you down. I can't tie a knot for the death of me either

That's true, it's just best to be realistic about this. For me I don't care about the condition of my body once I am gone. Some other methods may be better for this if it matters to you.

release their bowels? I wouldn't like that!

 

[SamTam33]

My original method is jumping and drowning because it will be permanent. The body has all kinds of defense mechanisms that might cause other methods to fail.

There is no defense mechanism to drowning. OK, technically there is. I think the trachea or some part in the back of the throat closes to stave off water, but that's rather useless when you're submerged.

I recently switched to asphyxiation with a plastic bag because it's simple and can be done anywhere. No traveling to a jump spot. No people to interfere.

I used to be averse to possible brain damage but hello? My brain is already damaged. I think I might welcome the opportunity to no longer be responsible for living a "normal" life.

That happens with every method pretty much- once you die your muscles can't hold it in any more. I supposed if you fast for a day there won't be much to release.

Nitrogen--You just go to sleep and pass out

 

[Lily (Osako)]

My criteria is pretty simple.
I'm looking for the quickest, easiest, least painful, and least messy.
There are only a few out there like that, most of which seem impossible to ascertain.
Still searching and holding out hope for a miracle, but have a less desirable yet acceptable backup.

I'm no good with knots either but there are videos to show you how.

You can always buy some adult diapers. I don't like the thought of this either

 

[ANR123]

My criteria is it has to be peaceful, simple, and have a high likelihood of it working out as planned...

 

[HelloIamSummer]

I chose SN because it's the least morbid method I have access to (hanging, jumping, cutting). I'm really afraid of pain, but that comes with almost all methods. I would go with N if I could, though.

 

[marcy2022]

Peaceful (less pain or sleeping/unconscious), easy access, simple (not too complicated for me), reliable and fast like less than 12 hours or something.

 

[Lavender Dreams]

Similarly to others, something lighter on the survival instinct, reliable and with the smallest risk of permanent damage if failed, but I might have to go with hanging in the end.

 

[FuneralCry]

In my case, I have limited access of ways to ctb as after all we live in such a cruel, pro suffering world that makes dying as difficult as possible for us and denies us peaceful ways to finally be free from everything. Therefore the main factor that I have been considering as I think about methods is accessibility, but of course it's essential to make sure that the method doesn't fail. The thought of ctb failing really is so horrifying to me and is what I fear.

The methods that I've always thought about are hanging and drowning yet both of them sound horrible and difficult to me. I just hate the fact that for so many of us, ctb can be very difficult. I'm certainly very tired of everything and it would be ideal if we all had the option to exit this world in a peaceful and reliable way.

 

[SamTam33]

It's (morbidly) amusing that so many of us want to go "painlessly and peacefully" as if those are features we have access to.

As if Painless and Peaceful know where we live.

It's like a blind person wishing to die while watching the sun set.

It's precious to think about, but unrealistic.

 

[Samsal112]

I chose drowning for a couple of reasons. I wanted something that is reliable and will guarantee death with the least amount of blood. Shotgun was a no because everyone I know who has used this method is at least alive for days and we have enough information to know that this isn't always fatal. I guess a shot to the heart might work. But, I have heard that can take hours until your dead (someone in my town did this). I didn't choose SN because it is difficult to acquire and I almost OD off pills, which I feel has the same effect on the body. It was an unpleasant and scary experience. SI kicked in like I wouldn't believe. Not all benzos work the same on my body and there were too many meds involved in this method. Drowning is going to be painful. I wasn't trying to get rid of the pain as this is no guarantee. BUT, you stay under the water long enough with no one to help and you're dead lol I plan to take Ambien since I know that body reacts well to this and then drown. Drowning, or at least passing out from it takes no more than 5 minutes, which is nicer than laying in a hospital bed waiting to die for hours from hanging or a shotgun. It just seems the most reliable with little chance of surviving. Again, not worried about the pain. Dying is painful I would assume.

 

[Musketeer]

I chose hanging as mine, it's reliable, easily accessible, and i can do it without being caught. i have an understanding of engineering and physics.

 

[Forest Fire]

Jumping off a cliff.
As horrific as it is to think about, this one seems like the least brutal to me.
Also i took into account the time it would take from start to finish and the chance of success.

 

[jackie_boy1337]

1. Effectiveness- chance of me ending up in the hospital.

2. Ease- I seriously have no idea how people do things like die in a bathtub or some prolonged OD. 5 mins of suffering max.

3. Chances of me getting caught preparing- I've ended up in the hospital before and I'm never going back there, and I'm definitely not going to get caught ordering some highly toxic chemical off the internet and risk getting jail time for it.

 

[👁️👃👁️]

Sn.

Accessibility.
Reliability.

 

[freevoid]

SN for me too. I'm used to all the symptoms of SN poisoning thanks to my chronic illnesses, so that will be a piece of cake. It's relatively fast, easy/simple and peaceful (I have propranolol to keep heart rate in check).

Jumping, hanging or drowning I could not make myself do even if i wanted to. Too psychologically intense.

Too brain fogged for technical aspects of inert gas.

 

[Sapphire]

My method is N. The most important criteria for me when I chose my method was reliability and something that is quick and as painless as possible so that my SI doesn't interfere.

 

[Anon1337]

I want to die outside in a sentimental place, the method needs to be portable. Exit bag or a firearm would be ideal. If a method is already there then I might go with that e.g. railway.

 

[BipolarExpress]

SN. It's accessible (or it was at the time, at least), relatively reliable, and mostly painless from the reports I've seen here. If I were able to find and afford N, I'd use that instead. If it weren't SN, I'd probably try hanging or jumping, though those are far from ideal.

 

[Scythe]

Fast, ease of access(as in little preparation), and a little pain as possible, but as long as it's fast I won't mind. If only I had the balls to jump a subway or had a deadly pill that I can bring with me a gun works too. Right now my method is yew poisoning and partial hanging.

 

[Rairii]

OD, it has been the way I've saw myself going out since the age of 11. It's the one method I'll always have available. I also know from the last time I attempted but failed because I was found; it will work (as long as im not found but I wont make that mistake again), the process of doing it/after taking it leaves me with no fears or regrets, and there was no pain/nausea I just simply fell asleep.
