Discussion Would thinking you OD'd as a heroin addict be preferable to knowing you suicided? For your family, friends etc

[LittleJem]

Just read the UK thread below and realised that maybe if I start taking heroin (I tried it once and didn't like it) then I died from an OD, then at least my family and boyfriend and friends could blame drugs. Even though I've been telling them for so long that I cannot take this suffering anymore.

I think OD-ing as a heroin addict is more acceptable to grieving people than suicide - thoughts?!

I literally feel like I can't talk to my family about this anymore as it will upset them - and my brother has a disabled daughter and a lot of stress - but I cannot take many more months of this depression.

So maybe heroin is the way to go? I really really don't like it - I don't like that it gives me nausea. I found the experience of it boring (I snorted it) but maybe this is better than suffering for longer.

I really would not recommend becoming a heroin addict. You are thinking about killing yourself right now but once the drug has you in its arms, you won't be able to.

No because either way, my family or friends would suspect I had some sort of a problem that led to my passing.

Although I am a bit reluctant to say it, it would seem to me that overdose by heroin would be glamorous; who cares if family and friends thought you took the rock star approach?

If you have never used the drug (I have'nt) would'nt lethality be guaranteed with first use? How do you obtain the drug? (Heroin)

If it's too out of character drug od would raise just as many questions as suicide.

A thousand times yes!!
There's always a sense of shame in suicide to the family, I'll hope that in last moment before I'll kill myself, will happen some miracle and I'll get Cancer
