Method Bathub drowning vs sea drowning at night?

[Young]

What's a better plan? Bathub drowning or going into the sea at night?

I tried drugging myself and then drowning in the ocean, I went to the waterfront at about midnight after taking all of my pills. I passed out at the edge of the water and someone found me, called 911. I was in a coma for a week or two and then the psych ward.

Bathtub avoids the risk of being found early.

If you want to ensure you don't go up to the surface then I'd recommend the ocean. At least that's what I plan to do.

The ocean is a lot more certain. Getting caught by the tide and pulled in versus sitting in a bathtub of water where your body can automatically break the surface and take a breath. I got caught in an undertow as a child and there was no way I was getting away from it. Someone had to jump in and save me. It's really a shame that they did. That could've been it right there.

Neither. It's a very common misconception that drowning is painless. Drowning is one of the most painful ways to die. I have experienced drowning twice to a near death level and I do not wish that type of pain on anyone. It's slow and it hurts so much.

What's your plan for bathtub drowning? Apart from exceptional circumstances, it's significantly more difficult to achieve due to how easy it is to get out.

I took hundreds of prescription pills [a shitty method, but I didn't know that at the time] and went to the water, intending to drown.

I was in the psych ward after the coma because it was obviously a suicide attempt. I don't remember how long I was in the ward for, but it couldn't have been more than a week or two.

Absolute rubbish!!!

Controlled drowning is a literal torture method. I'm telling the individual this because I don't want them to suffer when CTBing.
