Discussion Why did you choose YOUR method?

[TheGoodGuy]

I am just curious why did you choose your method? Of course it´s because it´s the one you feel the most comfortable with but why though?

And is there a reason you won´t do certain methods?

gunshot is quick and irreversible. if I ingested some drugs/n, I would have second thoughts in a second.

 

[Kikoo Loool]

I have no access to guns nor poison and my vertigo prevents me from jumping, hence I think I'll hang myself.

But are you comfortable with hanging? Like do you have some pro´s and con´s to it or are you just totally comfortable with this method?

I have no choice!

I have no choice!

It comes down to EXACTLY this ^^^^

Well in that case I hope you use partial it seems to be a nice method with not much discomfort.

Please elaborate, so you can´t get drugs or guns but do you feel comfortable with hanging and what type of hanging will you use and is there certain methods you don´t trust?

 

[Volomori83]

There is a raw simplicity in the execution of full suspension hanging that still permits an illusion of control, this hopefully makes the process of dying this way far less terrifying than the other methods I'd researched.

It's just a decision I made, I don't advocate it. I wouldn't want to recommend anything though in those terms, I don't have the right, or the knowledge, to do that.

I'm most comfortable with overdosing and the only past attempts of mine that were close to being a success were overdoses. I also find them less painful and there's less stress (for me) and preparation. I would want to go with either SN because there is supposedly no lasting damage if you survive, it's cheap and relatively easy to obtain or N because it's quick, peaceful and reliable.

 

[agreement]

IDK I always thought that our chosen method has a deeper meaning, like it was an astrological sign or a personality type.

Hangers born from * to *

Jumpers like the outdoors

etc etc

BTW I'm an Hanger (ascendant Overdoser)

 

[usernameNotFound]

Honestly I don't have a method yet. I keep trying partial suspension but I always panic and back out. I've also tried strangulation + hanging but same thing. I'm trying to warm my doctor up to the idea of prescribing me benzos, because if I have those I should have enough drugs to die via Amytriptyline cocktail.

But right now, hanging. Because it seems to be the most peaceful, less terrifying way of dying.

 

[Watery5]

Because it's clean. I don't wanna blood, vomit, any kind os mess.

 

[phoenixx]

My main method is jumping from a bridge. I dont know why I chose this method, but the location I've chosen is beautiful so it will be a nice place to ctb. But if I'm unable to do that for some reason then I will resort to hanging (not the way I want to go out but I'd have no other choice)

If I jump, it'd be ggb and because... If you watch the documentary, people fall in love with it. They catch the allure and I myself have. It'd be a dream to leap off of it
Carbon monoxide, boring, but it leaves a pretty body for my mama.
I wanna jump though, no where else will do

 

[IronTusk]

Amitriptyline because with benzos its suppose to be peacrful

 

[Divine Trinity]

Partial S. Hanging, can do it at home, attracts no attention, fairly lethal, and about as painless as it gets.

Cons: takes practice to do properly, SI is tough to deal with, technique determines outcome.

 

[lemon17]

I'm going to do full suspension hanging. Simple and 100% effective

 

[Worndown]

There are hundreds of videos from the middle east with hanging. With rare exception they go limp in 10 to 15 seconds. Probably not comfortable, but what way is?

 

[lemon17]

I have already made an attempt. It hurt a little...it was dull pain only. However, I wrongly set length of rope and hit the floor with my feet. The next time will be done right.

 

[Broken]

I'm going with N as I'm to scared to go any other way.

 

[Cookiedough8956]

I'm using SN because I'm I suck at hanging, don't have access to firearms, and too much of a pussy to inflict painful methods on me. Also, I don't wanna get in trouble for obtaining N. Too risky.

 

[TAW122]

I chose my method (firearm via shotgun with 00 buckshot) because it is the most reliable and accessible method I have. I didn't want to chance with legality and sneaking around (more trouble than it's worth and too risky) with N or other drugs or chemicals, and hanging isn't as reliable unless I have the technique down and even then too variable on the ligature and surroundings, structure, which of course some are outside of my control (environment based). I suppose others who live in countries or areas with tight gun laws and regulations may have to find other methods.

I really wish that I live in the US since anyone can get a gun in there. If I have lived in the US, a gunshot would be my preferred way of going, just a little pull and everything is done, but alas, I don't live there.

My preferred way would be jumping. I have very little access to chemicals and drugs for an overdose and I simply won't have the courage to hang. I've seen stories of people being "rescued" after hanging and living in even worse conditions than they were before their attempt. I live in a crowded concrete jungle and I don't have faith that I could hang myself in a small forest somewhere without someone discovering me. (There's nowhere in my apartment that I could hang myself with and I will not do it in my home.)

I don't think I will have much in the way of me standing on a ledge and making that leap of faith. Who knows? I should go and try it for myself and see if I quickly gain major doubts when I stand on that ledge. Frankly I'm also still finding a high, secluded place where I could jump. This city I'm in is chalk full of high, multi story car parks and they would be an easy choice to jump from. But they are in crowded places and the last thing I want to do is disturb everyone else with my lifeless body.

 

[Strumgewehr]

SN:
Cheap
Reliable if done right
Not terribly painful
Legal

 

[Purgatory]

My access to guns is plentiful. I am reluctant to use them because of the mess. I also do not wish to add myself to the gun violence statistics.

I tried to OD once. It was awful! I suffered for at least a day or more. Unsure of the timespan. Seemed eternity. I do know it was at least a day before I could not take anymore and went to the hospital. I detailed that in another thread. Don't care to rewrite it. OD is out for me. I fear having another experience like that.

CO or inert gas seems best to me. I am very familiar with cooking with charcoal. Most difficult part of charcoal method for me would be not tossing on a steak or burger! Lol! For that reason, I have multiple grills and a chimney starter for each. One grill should be sufficient for this method, but I plan 2 for certainty. Have a third to toss on a steak or burger, because I know the smell of the charcoal being started will cause food cravings.

Inert gas seem nice. Nitrogen and the use of it are part of my job. Obtaining the materials and using them are simple to me. Except the bag. Not sure I could tolerate the bag over my head. Even the Sarco looks claustiphobic to me.

I do have a fantasy. I have the skill to do it. Just not the money or space. Build a room like the Sarco. At least big enough for a bed. Airtight with check valves to allow air to flow out as nitrogen flows in. Check valves would open at .5 psi. A comfortable amount of pressure. Much less pressure than an aircraft in flight. This is only fantasy though. I have the skill, but unless I win the lotto, not gonna happen.

CO (with food cooking on the extra grill) is my favorite realistic choice.
A picture of my long guns (handguns not shown) and a grill with perfectly grayed charcoal. (Not a ctb attempt. Was cooking using indirect heat method. Those who like grilling food will understand)

Exit bag with N2, because of its reliability, peacefulness, and availability of exhaustive step-by-step instructions in both PPeH and 'Five Last Acts'. The fact there is published research available and it's time-tested makes me feel confident in using it. @TiredHorse's vast knowledge and willingness to answer questions have both been enormously invaluable.

But I am also keeping my eye on SN developments. Because, frankly, I'd rather lay down and die in my bed, but unfortunately that's not recommended with the exit bag as it may come dislodged, interfere with the flow of N2 or exhalations, etc. I've got the Primperan and the SN and acid reducers are both easily obtainable in the U.S.

I love that. There is just something special over that method because humans has killed themselves with this method for hundreds if not thousands of years and as you said it´s simple and 100% effective, once you kick the chair away there is no turning back the only downside is the discomfort and panic but it will be over in seconds I imagine.

 

[wanttodie]

I keep trying partial suspension but I always panic and back out. choose Method as I have allways wanted to die by hanging

 

[bluesleep]

Hanging because it's really hard to get guns here where I live.
