What's the likelihood of succeeding?

[NothingJolly]

I'm thinking about buying a sword or some other long, sharp kind of stabby thing and propping it up somehow so that it's more or less standing straight on its own (even if it's not perfect) and then impaling myself on it. More specifically, I would try to "fall" on it by standing on some steps or something similarly high up enough that gravity could theoretically be doing most of the work instead of, you know, actually having to posses the balls to literally stab myself.

Obviously this would be VERY painful, but would it work? I don't have a lot of other options - I don't have the confidence or social skills to ask my doctor for any kind of prescription drug that I could potentially overdose with, I can't get a firearm, I don't have the ability to buy N or SN, and even worse I live with people that know I'm suicidal so buying random things like rope, helium .etc. would definitely be noticed and asked about, but I'm pretty sure I could buy a sword and convince them I'm into collecting them for weeb reasons or something like that.

I'm not looking for a peaceful end, just an effective one. I've given up on trying to die peacefully at this point and I'll happily settle for dying in an agonizing way as long as I can't easily get out of it, if that makes sense. I could gag myself to muffle the noise I'd probably make, and maybe there are OTC things I could take to increase bleeding? I'd try to impale my heart/chest region, but I'm a moron so.. yeah... Help?

Also, there is nowhere to hang myself from in my home. Forgot to mention that. I'm alone the majority of the time so being discovered is not an issue as long as it takes hours and not days for me to die.

Gosh Damnt Fck I would highly recommend you to Not impale yourself on a sword. Idk what the chances are of being successful w / that....... But something tells me it could Possibly go horribly wrong and you are saved somehow.... Idk,. Sorry I'm not much help.

It's up to you but you could survive it. Look at the comedian, Artie Lange. He tried to kill himself with a 13 inch blade but instead of dying, he ended up needing surgery and survived the attempt. Are you sure you are just not being impulsive right now? Death awaits us all my friend. Take all the time you need.

That's pretty hardcore. The cause of death is usually when you pull the sword out of you because you end up bleeding to death. Otherwise if you're impaled, you would be in agony for many hours, allowing gravity to pool your blood over time in one spot. And of course, someone hearing your cries will come save you.

As far as I know, jumping on sword was quite often used as a suicide method in the Middle Ages. But you must jump on it from a sufficient height so that it pierces right through you.
