Anyone else changed methods?

[BrokenLine]

So my plan was to CTB with SN since getting N wasn't really an option and definitely not a gun. Hanging was always something i was really put off by, jumping was my pick out of the two.
Now hanging is oddly ok. There's a steel beam outside my door so I bought rope it came yesterday. After weeks of shit weather its a beautiful day, and feel today is a good day.

So anyone else had a changer of opinions on methods?

 

[Lost Magic]

Yeah, this is a good one. I changed my methods (over a few years) from hanging, to inert gas, to SN and now Nembutal. It has been like playing a video game were I kept levelling up haha

 

[danlippers67]

My plan went: Long suspension hanging Jumping off a building Pill overdose Short suspension hanging Shallow water blackout Sodium nitrite Short suspension hanging Now finally I'm settling with long suspension hanging

 

[Squalo]

I just went from partial hanging to full suspension, because it is more effective.
this site convinced me about SN, but in my country it is too hard to find, since it has been used by several people for ctb.

Interesting thanks.

 

[stupidldiot]

a shotgun to the mouth would be my top pick after N. sadly ive very little chance of getting that where i live.

Full suspension hanging used to sound terrifying to me, which is why I initially chose partial hanging. Now it's the other way around: partial scares me because it seems too easy to mess up and full suspension makes me feel calm enough to actually go through with it – sure, it's not N, but it will do.

Yeah same, accidently came across a video of someone CTB by shotgun.

Hanging in general scared the crap out of me, I really had no idea how someone could do that. Now I'm ok with partial hanging have my own set up, just can't seem to get it quite right I try and try. Yeah the calmness is both a weird and amazing thing.

For a while I planned to do H2S inhalation in a tent, these days it's hard to get stuff potent enough to make it. That and I couldn't guarantee it'd be instant & painless.
Thought about decapitation through long drop hanging, I used to live next to a bridge perfect for it, but couldn't guarantee the rope would hold and not just give me broken legs.
Then SN, but I dawdled too long and the time to buy it easily came and went, though that did save me from a police wellness check while I still lived with parents. Moved out now.
Still SN if I can get some, if not, guillotined by a train.

I have SN but thinking about taking a skil saw to my neck.

I have SN, but couldn't get everything i needed just recently tested it again and don't trust it to do the job. Could probably buy N but would have same issue as SN.
My options now is one that scared me in the past, now it really doesn't.

Ski saw, Ok they're very different methods.

 

[Bedrock48]

Yeah, my methods have changed a lot over the years. The original was full suspension, then varies overdoses (I lost access to a secure place to use for hanging), then caffeine poisoning and I feel like I've eventually settled on CO as a main method.

I would still say hanging is up there as a main method but I still have no anchor points in my house. CO just seems to fit my needs best, I don't need to ingest any poison and it doesn't feel as violent or scary as say jumping.

You couldn't trust N to do the job? Why? Gag reflex or something?

Now I've got use to the idea of hanging, I can see why its peoples main method, but partial just doesn't work for me I hit the right spot a couple of weeks ago. though i could hit that spot again but nope. Have a place i can use as an anchor point for full suspension that should be fine, will be fine.

For me at least when i have a method SN for example i can think maybe something else will be easier, so I wait. I think for me its just my SI.

That's really weird jumping was not so much an issue for me, I just have nowhere high enough.

Yes its just gag reflex. Its just antiemetic I had a lot of trouble getting them, the other stuff and SN i had no issue with. So N without antiemetic is a no because its a lot of money to waste.

 

[sharky]

I went from N to partial hanging. The more I read about partial the more I leaned towards full suspension. But it really scared me. So now I'm going with SN. Just need antiemetics

For me trying to get antiemetic was a nightmare, but that was more to do with my situation my doc simply wouldn't give me a prescription.

Have you tried different doctors?

Yeah partial didn't work for me either so fulls always been on my mind. SI plays a huge role too.

Jumping is very much a last resort option which I could probably achieve it if desperate enough. I have a bridge near me that, although works for some, it isn't high enough to trust it'll do much.

Yes tried, the GP practice i go to covers a certain area. I've tried to register with a new doctors but get told I cant because I'm outside there practice area.
When I've seen a different doc they just go by what's on my records and wont change anything, only says for me to speak to my regular doctor about it.

Yes SI is a bit of a bastard, but lately for me its not as big an issue as it was. I think for me its practicing and practicing partial knowing if i started to black out i would go through with it, made it easier for me full suspension is just an extra step. SI is still a very little issue.

Barring a gun most methods need you to overcoming your SI then you have to fight it, to stop yourself trying to get help. With jumping there's nothing you can do while falling.

I'm either doing VSED or SN. I recently have heard of SN and am doing research. VSED takes weeks and that's the only downside of it. And if you're looking into what VSED means, ignore "You can't do it alone". Yes you can. People have died from starvation and dehydration alone. And that's it.
So originally I was planning on VSED in the woods but am leaning more toward SN as long as I can get a pure product.

 

[Riddle]

I saw a comment on another thread that VSED is mostly used for the elderly or very sick. It would be a really couple of days for a healthy person.

What I like about VSED though is that I feel like it would help validate your experience and reason to ctb to your friends and family. If someone is that committed to ctb, it gives more credibility for your reason to leave. Which I think would help them move on and let go

I tried VSED for ~3.5 days, but even though I got severely dehydrated, I think it would have taken another 3-4 days to kill me. I felt dizzy, lightheaded and weak. I was also tired and couldn't concentrate. I'm not planning on trying that method again, it's just too uncomfortable.
I've tried VSED, hypothermia, partial hanging, plastic bag asphyxiation, and electrocution.

I'm planning on trying N or SN. If neither of those work, I'll just cut my throat.
