Discussion What method did you attempt and why it failed? How will you address your mistake next time you ctb?

[curiousbeing]

I share my own experience below. Please, share yours

My method: My method was to drown myself by entering sea, inhaling gas asphyxiant in February, winter, temperature 8C

Why I failed: I failed because my fear got intense, I didn't hurry and wasted 10 minutes. During 10 minutes some car appeared, saw me at wilderness middle of nowhere, felt suspicious and took me home. If I didn't waste that time and quickly entered sea, I would be dead

What will I do next time? Before I drown myself, choking myself by swallowing something while I am on land. I can't decide yet what will it be. It must be something soft and slippery so it will go deeper. Probably marshmallows. This way, even if someone finds me, they will have to rush me to nearest hospital and I will be dead. So, swallow and enter sea. No need for wasting hour of time going into somewhere far away into wilderness. And I can make an excuse telling them I just accidentally swallowed marshmallows while preparing to swim at public beach, even if I do survive whole thing.

How about you?

i've had one attempt at suicide i overdose on olanzapine, zopiclone, and amitriptyline was found shortly after i had passed out unconscious by my mum she rang an ambulance
the paramedics found me unconscious i was in respiratory arrest i was taken to the hospital where i was in a coma for 2 day

I stabbed myself three times last year which you can read about here. I failed because I didn't stab myself a fourth time, didn't sever any arteries, or should have waited longer (seven hours wasn't enough). Next time I'll follow SN protocol to the dot to make sure I don't fail.

My first attempt was cutting my wrists - I've only tried that because I was desperate at the moment and that was the only available method. I've failed because I couldn't cut deep enough due to pain (I still hate myself for being such a wuss).

My second attempt was by helium inhalation and honestly, I've failed because I didn't do enough research. Knowing what I know now, my attempt was downright comical.

Inert gas asphyxiation is one of my preferred methods at the moment and hopefully next time will be a success!
