3 survivors talk about SN-experience

[WhyIsLife56]

After reading that story I think it's completely bs. It doesn't sound like a story of someone who's under a lot of stress. I've been in the hospital and I was freaking out for days, I would not calmly write such a succinct and self-reflective, calm report right away. I'm honestly mad at the poster because I'm 99% sure it's made up. "Am I dead?" "No I can't be" Give me a frigging break, are you an author or did you just survive death? I wonder how many of the "police stopped me" stories are false.

The report does seem to be too reflective for a failed attempt. I would be in panic and despair 24/7 if that happened.

It's sad, but that person probably just wants attention so I need to let it go...

I am more worried about the reports of getting raided that happened over summer and the early fall of last year. But I guess there's no point in worrying about that, what will be will be - I'm going to have to order what I need regardless.

Whenever there's a failed attempt, it needs to be analyzed rather than to believe it right away completely.

I'm not sure I agree. There are substances which are euphoria-inducing and not very risky when it comes to injury after a failed attempt. Admittedly, most of them are difficult to come by, though. Well, each to their own.

The point is was making is that some people may endure weeks or even months of stress trying to look for a better method, just to avoid some discomfort that might only last for 20 minutes....
However I fully understand that each person has a unique outlook, and must do what feels best to them....

20 minutes isn't really that long especially if you put on a playlist of some sort

I see. Then I paritally misunderstood you and I apologize.

Indeed. Some people may find 20 minutes to be a long death struggle and gasping for air to be disincentive, and then they should of course choose another method.

I prefer 20 minutes of pain to keep on living. And I've been in pain the last years so 20 min more of pain is nothing for me.

It may be a pain nothing like anything you've ever experienced before. I'm not trying to scare anyone, just saying that they should think through their decision carefully. To each their own.

I don't doubt it, what my concern has always been is the promotion of this as quick and peaceful. Because for some people it is not. The reason I bring this up is purely for awareness. If you happen to be one of those people that do not pass out for 20 minutes, when you are expecting 5 minutes. That extra 15 minutes is a lot of time for anxiety and Survival Instinct to take over. Then if you call for help you're in the psych ward.

I really do not doubt it's effectiveness, i do however object to it being recklessly promoted as peaceful by EI.

Stan did a great job covering everything I am talking about. The possible side effects, the time to unconciousness, the anxiety, the variables. Stan did not sugar coat it. But I think EI is really dropping the ball on this, they do not even mention the permanent discoloration.

From all the accounts I have read. For some it is very fast and easy, but for some it is not. What "peaceful" is could vary from person to person. I think people associate peaceful with a sedative type feeling. If you happen to have slow metabolism and are completely aware and awake for 20 minutes, The Anxiety from the SI may make this far from peaceful.

I just do not believe SN is 1 size fits all, mainly because of the variations in blood pressure and metabolism. from the posts I have read , the way it feels and the time to being unconscious is greatly different from person to person.

Again I think Stan did a great job in giving accurate information, he covered all the possible variables. Exit is not really doing any of that.

What do you mean by discoloration?
