Discussion Anyone else survive some really bad attempts?

[TeaPloom]

I've survived some pretty horrible attempts, some that I literally wasn't supposed to. I always joke about being immortal due to how bad my luck is with ctb. Anyone else relate to this experience/the immense frustration that follows?

One of my attempts go back to when I was a teenager, I overdosed on hundreds of mg of gabapentin and some other miscellaneous meds. I had so many seizures/even aspirated my own vomit. Which ended up with me falling into a coma for two weeks. The doctors weren't even sure if I was going to wake up but, low and behold with my luck I wake up without a scratch or impairment. Just some pneumonia that I got over. I have some worse attempts too, but those are too public/identifiable that I unfortunately cannot share about them.

I once swallowed a bunch of antipsychotics and it was awful. My muscles started involuntarily contracting. I couldn't speak because my tongue was also doing the same. I remember having to get catheterized (which I hated). Eventually hospitalized, I also remember not being able to communicate with the doctors so they had a hard time figuring out what was wrong. I can't remember what we did to overcome that.

It sucked.

yeah. I almost died after my last one but of course I had to survive. I'm just grateful I don't have any permanent effects from that, my worst fear is surviving but ending up with severe brain damage or something and then having to live with that. I wish there was an easy, accessible way without those risks.

That's also been a fear with me, because with so many attempts of mine. It was a very real possibility. It's so infuriating that it's not easy, painless, or even dignified half the time. Another deal with me is that I was threatened to be put on a government conservatorship and be locked away for the rest of my life if I ever attempt again…

I survived taking a lethal dose of N because someone called the cops for other reasons, and they came and found me right after I stopped breathing.

I've been lucky to never have police involved with mine. I hate that society pushes us to this desperation because the idea of a chosen dignified death is too much for them..

20 years ago. Two large bottles of benedryl, crushed, mixed with root beer. Locked myself in the apartment, threw keys out window, no phone, no landline. Went to sleep. Woke up next day with butter all over the place. Then I remembered dancing with fairies and feeding them butter because that is what they wanted.

I also woke up on the operating table during appendectomy. I can drink anyone under the table, not get drunk, no puking, no passing out, no blacking out. I am not a mean drunk either, but I kiss girls after about 12 drinks, or at least tell them I want to kiss them. I smoke more weed than anyone I have ever met. Cannot do opioids or painkillers because I am allergic and puke within minutes then have tremors for days. Maddening I tell you, maddening.

What was it like to be in a coma?

Train jump and 3rd rail

Is it even possible?

Train was metro so it was probably slowing down as it entered the station, and maybe hit emergency brake or something. I don't remember I was black out hours before jumping. I had head trauma and a fracture but I am otherwise fine. Third rail didn't work because I think I was grounded or something, really don't know. Also the police were present and they quite casually hit an emergency cutoff switch after I was already hugging the third rail.
