I obviously haven't tried this combo yet as I'm here writing this but I have a REALLY strong case for it. And I mean REALLY strong This should be a more or less risk-free method as well which is a huge plus. Either it works and you're gone, or it doesn't, and then it's back to normal every day life. No scars or anything. The simple combo we are going for is water, breath holding, and nitrous, but before I tell you HOW, let me tell you WHY it works.
Now, just breathing in and out of a balloon full of no2 is not going to work, since the carbon dioxide buildup is what gives you an urge to breathe. A continuous supply of an inert gas while weathering out the co2 can work, but requires a lot of prep, and the success rate isn't the best.
(Now the next part is a bit more technical, but I will state some plain facts. I am a freediver, and what I'm saying isnt something controversial or up for debate, but plain facts)
1. The urge to breathe comes from a buildup of co2 in your body. NOT oxygen. So in theory, if you have low oxygen levels AND low carbon dioxide levels you can pass out despite not feeling an urge to breathe.
2. Hyperventilation is a big nono in freediving. The reason is it flushes your body of carbon dioxide, so youre more likely to pass out before feeling the urge to breathe since it takes longer for your body to reach a "I need to breathe" level of carbon dioxide.
3. In freediving, when surfacing again, we take small breaths instead of big ones to get oxygen into our system WITHOUT purging out the remaining little oxygen we have left. A lot of beginners even start breathing out on their way up towards the surface because it also removes some of the carbon dioxide from their system and makes it a bit easier to, well handle the urge to breathe until surfacing. The problem is this also removes the oxygen. This is one of the most common reasons for shallow water blackouts (you can read up on it if you want. It's pretty interesing. But it's pretty much what it sounds like)
4. Freediving is (to my surprise at least) considered an extreme sport. The recreational death rate is 1 in 500 people! Thats huge! (I'm not kidding. You can look it up). And that brings me to the next point..
5. No matter the freediving forum you look at. Another (and an even bigger) nono is diving alone. The reason is because passing out is shockingly common in this sport, so you ALWAYS want to have a buddy with you that can help you. If one thing is repeated the most, then it's this one. So despite these security rules in place. Its still 1 in 500 (not that everyone follows this, but still really high either way)
Okay, with this you've learned freediving basics 101. But rules are meant to be broken. Now let's apply this to suicide.
1. Buy nitrous and a popper to fill a balloon safely.
2. Make a bath in water that is comfortable, but not cold (helps you activate your mammalian dive reflex while remaining calm. Too cold water is not helpful in this regard)
3. Get in the bath with two balloons in either hand
4. Hyperventilate for some time. Big breaths, not shallow ones (Bad and dangerous in freediving. Good and helpful for us)
5. Get under the water (or stay above the surface if that is more comfortable for you) and hold your breath. Hold your breath for as long as you can. When you get your first contraction and if you're untrained, you still DEFINITELY have more than 1/3 of the oxygen that you need left in you. The only reason you feel the need to breathe is the bastard carbon dioxide. Try to make a game of it. Count to 20 contractions. Easier said than done, but then again. This is easy compared to most methods. If you want this, 20 or 30 contractions are a hell of a lot easier than slitting your wrists. Now that takes commitment.
6. When you feel like you can't go any longer. Surface and breath out. This will help you that extra bit and make you hold out a little bit longer before breathing.
7. Breathe in the balloon full of that sweet sweet nitrous. Take a big breath, breathe it out in the air. Repeat until the baloon is emty. This way we are flushing out both the oxygen and carbon dioxide in your system. In other words, lower oxygen levels, and less of an urge to breathe. Win win! Take a big breath of balloon number 2 and use it to hold your breath again. Once again, this way you effectively purge your body of the carbon dioxide and the need to breathe WITHOUT giving it oxygen. At this point, holding the last bit before passing out won't be a problem. You'll simply pass out, and drown. Completely pain free. We are simply doing the opposite of freediving rules. Breaking every rule to the extreme and then some we give us really good odds. Like REALLY good odds.
Also, no need to worry about brain damage. You will lose consciousness long before brain damage. Otherwise, every world champion in freediving would be brain dead since long ago. So once again. You have nothing to lose except your life, but that's more someting to gain in my book. Wishing everyone the best, whatever that is for you
