What method are you leaning towards?

[hopelessdreams]

Drowning is my intended method. I realize that struggling to breathe is painful and 3-5 minutes of this is going to feel longer when I can't breathe. BUT, drowning is not bloody or gruesome. Also, it is a no brainer for someone like me who is afraid of messing up my method. Anyone can drown. I think I might take 15 to 30 Ambien to help fall asleep and be incoherent and then drown in a pool. I was thinking that if I can't get a full sized pool, there are now inflatable ones with enough water to submerge in. I have read on here that people are scared that after passing out in a bathtub or small pool, that they will resurface to the top, but I don't know if that is something to worry about. From what I read, once you pass out, you're dead. I guess another way to ensure death would be to lay face down in the water versus on back.

i'm leaning toward drowning to. for me tho i'll do it in a river and put on a weighted backpack so that i don't resurface.

Drowning isn't for me. I would not want to traumatize someone by having them find my waterlogged corpse.

i think we'll be traumatizing someone which ever method you choose. a dead body isn't exactly nice to look at. i'm just hoping i'll be reported missing and a professional will have to deal with me

A weighted backpack is a good idea. I would love to go somewhere like a river or lake, but where I live, the rivers and lakes are filled with things like alligators. Ideally, I would love to be able to do it in a pool.

Wouldn't that accomplish the goal anyways??

Hanging, so many people succeed with hanging, it just gotta work

I don't want to be eaten by an alligator or fight to stay under water while ALSO fighting pollution and things I can't see under water. I don't believe that there is a painless way to leave when you're dying by your own hands, but I don't want to leave in the most painful or inconvenient way possible either. Usually about 3-5 minutes, you pass out under water and then die. That seems better than having an alligator terrorize me or submerge myself in water that is icky and dangerous while fighting SI.

If I eventually ctb, I'd like to use N (or SN if that's not available).

"Mauled by alligator" makes for a great headline, but not a great death.

 

[Pain In The Ass]

I'm leaning towards drowning or hanging

I think both are grim as anything

But with limited resources that's my choice

Drowning sounds like after a while it's incredibly peaceful

Hanging sounds pretty harsh but has a good success rate

I would prefer something less violent but can't think of how

Once you're in the midst of both of these, there's no backing out, so they're pretty good options. I'm guessing you've read this... https://drowningsupportnetwork.wordpress.com/2019/05/31/what-happens-when-someone-drowns/

I'm pondering upon going out to sea in an inflatable dingy with a motor at night, then taking 100 benzos, 10 x 100mg oxys, 300ml morphine, lots of booze, then using a knife to pop the boat.

 

[°Celsuis_Caesar]

Full-Suspension. (Research in progress)

 

[xo777]

N I have it

 

[Ligottian]

Step one: Crush all my hoarded benzos into water and drink.
Step two: Light some charcoal in my fireplace.
Step three: Put a .357 Magnum bullet into the side of my head.

Anyone think I could survive that?

Sounds kind of gentle actually

there will always be some initial terror, as with most methods, but if you're sedated as fuck, it sounds like it would be mostly just confusing and uncomfortable

Thanks for that article

 

[Pain In The Ass]

Thanks for that article

Surprisingly peaceful sounding, isn't it?! The brain has ways of dealing with shit, so it's not so bad. I learned recently that the reason people are sick when they see grim gory stuff is because your brain dumps a shitload of serotonin into your CNS to 'cheer you up' quickly, after seeing someone else's brains smeared over the road, or whatever!

 

[WantToQuit]

I managed to obtain SN. This is my only real option.

Thank you for providing the word mauled. I am suicidal due to a chronic illness which includes brain fog. While writing that, I was like, "what the hell is the word for being attacked by an animal?!" I came up with being terrorized lol Anyways, my point was that being killed by an alligator would suck compared to just drowning, so I landed on terrorized.

 

[Treeline589]

I'll be drinking N

 

[lofticries]

N if I can get it and gun followed by jumping if i can't. Although I might go back to the bag method.

I hate how we don't have an off switch somewhere.

Glad I could be of assistance. I don't have brain fog, but I do I have some trouble remembering things. It is pleasant finally coming across the word one is looking for.

 

[eternalflame]

Partial hanging.

 

[PopsicleToes]

which is your preferred method now?

From what I read N is most peaceful & reliable SN is my 2nd choice. I don't want my kids to have nightmares the rest of their lives so blowing out my brains is not at the top of my list.

 

[WorthlessTrash]

Why can't I just be wrongly accused of a murder in Texas and be given the death penalty? It'd be so much easier to commit legally sponsored suicide.

Are you a Michael Franks fan?

 

[HubbaHubba]

No 1 choice: VAD. Have a number of experts who KNOW how to administer the drug and ensure I actually CTB.

Unfortunately, VAD org like Pegasos won't take someone who is depressed, not terminally ill and close to 50 years old.

Getting myself eaten by a grizzly…

Why is no one saying gun? Am I crazy?

 

[LifeHasNoOptIn]

Why is no one saying gun? Am I crazy?

It gets mentioned, but is not one of the more sought after due to the violent nature, obvious mess and the possibility of failure leaving a much bigger problem for what remains of your life. Realistically though, the odds of failure are pretty low and is probably the closest to truly painless as the brain would not even have time to comprehend what occurred before becoming incapacitated either by total destruction or the concussive force of the bullet. If one wanted to increase the percentages, shotgun or AR are pretty much guaranteed unless you miss amazingly badly.

That being said, I have a pistol, shotgun, and an AR but lean towards other methods myself for the reasons mentioned above.
