How can you know this ?
They don't, they just spreads this shit based on a few reports. Tons of divers says otherwise.
It's clear that the experiences differs a lot. It doesn't even matter if you know how to swim, jump on a current that leads to the sea and you will drown, doesn't matter if you know how to swim or not.

Yes, anything can happen really. No-one can see it with certainty unless it's a poisoning. Even then some things can affect people differently.

Drowning is one of the most horrific ways to go. They will find you and your body will also be horrific.

Not a good way to go by any metric.

I disagree…….so finding my body lying on a bed after turning blue with SN is a better option? Or blowing my brains out?

What way is your method?

Yes me too, everyone is different. I have heard that it can be quick, also what does it matter how your body is when you're dead. You could be in an accident tomorrow hit by a bus, it's not going to be great. No matter what method you use, a human body after death, and after decomposition is not pleasant.

I do not really get the stigma that this is a horrific way to die .. many a person has came back to life after accidentally and reported it reasonably peaceful.

Look at it on a worse case scenario and we assume drowning is a painful or unpleasant way to die , this lasts for minutes not hours.....and has a high guarantee success rate if 100 % focused to go this way

Sadly that's true, but many people die by drowning and are dealt with professional people whose job it is to do that. However just because someone is employed to do something doesn't lessen the nastiness of it all as you say. It's a horrible and sad part of life, if some of us had access to what Belgium is licensed to do, it would be peaceful, predictable and non violent. Unfortunately society doesn't seem to want to evolve in some countries. It's not that i am pro-suicide just pro-choice.

Just my 2 cents, for whatever its worth. When I was 15 I (accidentally) almost drowned while snorkeling when I underestimated how long it would take me to get back to the surface and/or overestimated my ability to hold my breath. It was honestly the scariest experience of my life. So that terror people talk about is real, or at least it was for me that time. HOWEVER, I didn't want to die. Surely that makes a difference? Maybe, beyond overcoming SI as required with any method, it isn't bad.

In fact, in the time I've been contemplating CTB, I've considered drowning as a possibility for myself. I haven't ruled it out, although I'm currently leaning toward something else. I relate to the reasons that you described for why drowning appeals to you though. For me, additionally I sometimes feel like maybe that was supposed to be my time, and to drown now would on some spiritual level be fixing the universe's mistake.

As to specifics, for me with any method the #1 priority is eliminating as many failure scenarios as possible. When I'm in that moment, ready to go, making that final decision that I'm ready and then literally taking the plunge, the peace of mind that the decision is absolutely final would bring me comfort and I believe courage as well. I don't want instinct messing it up for me, which basically means restraints or weights. I really don't want to bind my hands or feet because I feel like that for sure would induce an unnecessarily immediate and severe panic response. What I'm currently thinking is taking 50+ pounds of steel chain (buy from any hardware store) and wrapping it completely around my torso making sure to go over my shoulders, under my arms, in between my legs, etc. Basically wrap it so it isn't removable, using padlocks to secure it. I figure this would induce less panic than binding my arms and/or legs while the weight ensures I immediately sink and can't get back to the surface. Plus, being wrapped this way would anchor me sufficiently that my body won't wash ashore anytime soon. Maybe a few body parts will come loose over time due to decomposition or feeding, but by that point they might not even be recognizable as me even if they do come ashore. Again, if and when I do CTB it most likely won't be by drowning, but if it is, this is my current plan.

A weighted backpack could certainly do the job, but I would worry about making sure it couldn't slip off or be removed if SI overwhelms. Getting it secure enough to be sufficiently certain just seems like it would be needlessly complex and still risks underestimating SI. My method uses the weights themselves to secure the weight to my body in a way that it isn't physically removable without the key or bolt cutters, neither of which would go in with me. I live (and die?) by the KISS principle- Keep It Simple Stu… (won't finish the word because I'm not sure if the forum has any word filters and don't want my post deleted by a bot)

I'm not intentionally critical. My method may be completely wrong for you. Just hoping to add to the pool (lol) of ideas, so you can consider as many things as possible and decide what's most appropriate for your desires and resources. Whatever you decide to do, best of luck and I hope you find peace.

I really appreciate your thoughts here and it does get me thinking more. In my mind im thinking that if the weight was on my back with a backoack or two, and then fastened with a a few zip ties, there would be no way I could get myself out of that, considering I would be drowsy and inebriated at that point.

I can't imagine myself going into a hardware store and buying a huge steel chain and padlocks. I understand it would be a good aid ti what I wanted to do though.

A weighted backpack should keep me in one place for a very long time, and I also won't be drowning in the ocean, with a risk of being washed up. I want to do it in a deep lake (we have many 300m deep lakes in Cumbria UK) with fresh water as the thought of salt water or sealife scares me, because I too have nearly drowned in the sea when I was young.

I fully expect to panic, I fully expect to instantly regret jumping in, and I wish ai wasn't in this position in the first place, but I am and I just don't like all the other methods discussed on the forum. SN seems to be the common preference for people but I just don't like the thought of it and Id probably bugger it up and become brain dead.

Im trying to find my perfect location this week for drowning. I have even considered going abroad for warmer weather to make that side of it more attractive.

drowning sounds so awful... but its not like i can blame you for choosing that given your circumstances
truly, i hope it goes as easy as possible and you finally get some peace
i hope nobody you love is hurt in the process
i know in a perfect world i wouldnt wish this on anyone- but we do not live in a perfect world
so the least i can do is hope its peaceful in the end

i wish you luck on your journey
and i hope the bus ride is smooth
i dont know you personally, but i know you dont deserve to suffer
No, it's drowning just as you are drifting into heavy sleep induced by drugs and alcohol. Sounds like a great plan if you have no energy, time or money for other methods. It's what I came up with myself.

You literally just need rocks, something to keep them around your body, sleep pills, alcohol and a deep, isolated body of water.

I would do tests run before to see what knocks out reliably.

5I felt at peace.
7Struggling followed by feeling 'damn pleasant'.
9It hurts so badly, then dizzy then calm. Hallucinate.
10I give in to the lack of oxygen, going limp and at this moment there's no pain or fear. It's just simple and peaceful.
14I just started breathing. It was quite peaceful not painful. I mean I started thinking, well at least I know that I will die peacefully.
16I finally inhaled (water). All the tension in my chest instantly cleared and it felt almost as if I were breathing in air. I was cold which was alarming considering the water was warm, but I didn't exactly care. My whole body had gone lax and I let my eyes slip shut. It felt just like falling asleep.
26I realized that no one could save me and I began to just relax. I couldn't move, didn't want to move. I thought to myself wow this is a stupid way to die. I wonder what happens next. And it's like the moment I calmed down I couldn't feel anything. It felt like meditation.
29Immediately (after inhaling water) you will feel very relaxed and peaceful for a moment or two, also with no fear, until everything goes black and you pass out.
34It burned at first, but since the water was cold, it soothed me.
Non-aspiration group
4My lungs had more or less given out, and there was no pain, just comfort.
5I felt at peace and knowing that I was gonna die, I wasn't afraid.
13Just a second or two later the 'panic' feeling left me. The next thing I knew I was looking at a moving wall of beautiful colours; sea shells, sea fish, quiet, beautiful as my body slowly drifted down, down, down. No panic, no pain, no regrets, worries etc., the most pleasant experience I've ever had.
19That peaceful feeling is all part of the euphoria most people feel before death. If you die drowning, I would say it's one of the more peaceful ways to go. After the worst 15 seconds of your life of course.
25It was more of a numb feeling than anything. Kind of distant, like I was watching everything unfold from a different perspective, like it wasn't really me that was experiencing everything. I think my mind was too dulled by panic and fear and exhaustion to really notice any pain at all.
31All I can remember was it seems like I was looking through a kaleidoscope of pretty colours. I would've disappeared into oblivion peacefully and painlessly.

I'd do this "backpack drown method" but instead of sleeping pills I would do the carotid method using a tourniquet to go limp. If only I'm near a shore or lake...

I've heard drowning is one of the most painful ways to go but also I've heard that it's relatively peaceful. I've thought about doing it several times as for me it'd be the easiest method but I'm to much of a coward to go through with it.

If you do decide to do it, good luck. But I'd find a way to tape your bag down as eventually your survival instincts will kick in and you'll try to do anything to be able to get oxygen again. You don't want those instincts to kick in and for you to resurface for oxygen only to have brain damage from being underwater to long.

After wanting to CTB for a very long time, I am at the point now where it has to be soon. I have spent hours researching methods, spoken to countless people on sourcing materials, changed my mind on how I will go ahead with it.

Reading what some people have been through on here horrifies me, people shoud not suffer how some of you are and you all have my respectand love. It almost makes me feel a fraud, because I know I have had a decent life up until about two years ago when my life changed forever. Mainly due to a business collapse and the debts that have followed. they consume my thoughts (along with suicide) everyday of my life, I have ruthless companies chasing me day after day and its mentally too much. It has ruined me.

My marriage and my friendships have massively been affected, and I feel a total burden to everyone around me. As stated in a post last week, I actually don't think people really care anyway and if I was gone it would be the perfect answer.

I don't like myself anymore, I have lost all drive I had in life, zero motivation because of depression, I cant stand what modern society is all about.......social media attention seeking wankers everywhere you turn!!

One of my main concerns with suicide, is how people will find me afterwards......I think people will be angry at me and will forget who I once was. It will ruin the life of whoever finds me, which would probably be my wife.

I have researched extensively into SN, I just don't trust it and think too much can go wrong.
I have thought about Carbon Monoxide poisoning , but again its how the person finds you. Same with shooting myself or hanging.
There is a drawback to every method in truth.

I feel that drowning, in the middle of a deep lake or ocean somewhere suits me the best.....I will most probably never be found if I weigh the backpack down heavy enough. It won't be good for my family as I would never have a funeral and they wouldn't ever get closure. But at least they would'nt have a memory of my corpse.

I plan to hire a boat, transfer weights from the boot of my car into it and then sail off to the middle of nowhere. I will fill a backpack full of weight , strap weights to my ankles and sit over the edge of the boat. I will put some of my favourite music on , have a shit load of vodka and sleeping pills until I feel very drowsy.........then I will simply drift away once I have hit the water. It won't be nice for about 3 minutes but then I hope the suffering can finally be over and I can be at rest, which is all I want.

Hoping to do this soon as I see an opening and can be organised properly........

much love

Andy


In Jack London's semi-autobiographical book *Martin Eden*, he chose drowning too. Many millions have drowned.

Drowning sounds like an awful way to go. I almost drowned as a kid when I was at the sea, and it felt like the most abysmal experience ever. It felt like my lungs were being sucked up from the inside while I was losing oxygen (they were not filled with water, but I wasn't able to breathe). I jumped off a diving rock, and went way too fast, before I knew, I was at least 5 meters under water (I was very young back then). I did survive of course, but it is an awful way to go.

tell me way thats not awful?

Drowning as a kid is completely different because you didnt want to die..........you would of panicked and tried anything to get out. I will be heavily sedated and WANT to die.

The original edition of the book The Perfect Storm had a whole chapter on drowning and what it is like. The most disturbibing part was that it appears that in rare cases the person stays conscious for a long time underwater. They removed that part in the later editions, out of deference for the survivors i believe.

Jack London's description of it at the end of Martin Eden makes it sound beautiful.

It's the best way - at sea - if you don't want to be found.

After wanting to CTB for a very long time, I am at the point now where it has to be soon. I have spent hours researching methods, spoken to countless people on sourcing materials, changed my mind on how I will go ahead with it.

Reading what some people have been through on here horrifies me, people shoud not suffer how some of you are and you all have my respectand love. It almost makes me feel a fraud, because I know I have had a decent life up until about two years ago when my life changed forever. Mainly due to a business collapse and the debts that have followed. they consume my thoughts (along with suicide) everyday of my life, I have ruthless companies chasing me day after day and its mentally too much. It has ruined me.

My marriage and my friendships have massively been affected, and I feel a total burden to everyone around me. As stated in a post last week, I actually don't think people really care anyway and if I was gone it would be the perfect answer.

I don't like myself anymore, I have lost all drive I had in life, zero motivation because of depression, I cant stand what modern society is all about.......social media attention seeking wankers everywhere you turn!!

One of my main concerns with suicide, is how people will find me afterwards......I think people will be angry at me and will forget who I once was. It will ruin the life of whoever finds me, which would probably be my wife.

I have researched extensively into SN, I just don't trust it and think too much can go wrong.
I have thought about Carbon Monoxide poisoning , but again its how the person finds you. Same with shooting myself or hanging.
There is a drawback to every method in truth.

I feel that drowning, in the middle of a deep lake or ocean somewhere suits me the best.....I will most probably never be found if I weigh the backpack down heavy enough. It won't be good for my family as I would never have a funeral and they wouldn't ever get closure. But at least they would'nt have a memory of my corpse.

I plan to hire a boat, transfer weights from the boot of my car into it and then sail off to the middle of nowhere. I will fill a backpack full of weight , strap weights to my ankles and sit over the edge of the boat. I will put some of my favourite music on , have a shit load of vodka and sleeping pills until I feel very drowsy.........then I will simply drift away once I have hit the water. It won't be nice for about 3 minutes but then I hope the suffering can finally be over and I can be at rest, which is all I want.

Hoping to do this soon as I see an opening and can be organised properly........

much love

Andy

I'm thinking of drowning myself too & not wanting my body to be found. I was thinking about weights & also wrapping my torso with wire. Problem with weights is the belly fills with gas during decomposition & floats back up. The wire will cut as the abdomen swells releasing the gas.

wow I didnt know that but good know. Thanks

I think heavy enough weights tied to my body will keep me down though so not sure you would need the wire

I wondered a lot if there is a simple object that you can bring out to the deep water and easily seal yourself in, then just rock it off the side into the water. Then there's nothing floating, being carried off by animals or whatever else. Reasonable likelihood to be found afterward given there's an empty boat floating around and this whole method depends that no one in the distance is watching this boat.

You'll instinctively remove the backpack
It doesn't matter, Andy will be too deep to resurface at this point. In addition, the cold water will take its toll.

I wish him the fastest possible transition.
