Best Methods to CTB (in your opinion)

[yung_caligula]

I'm looking for mainly quick and painless methods to exit this hell of an existence. As much as possible that is. I'm still undecided but with the trajectory of things in America, life just seems to be getting more and more unbearable by the day. Any and all help/advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

If you're still undecided, I'd suggest giving yourself the space to treat this as research, not urgency. Clarity comes when panic recedes.

In terms of method, most people looking for something quick and relatively painless focus on SN. It's one of the few accessible options with a decent amount of documented guidance, especially through the PPH and recent peer shared protocols. It's not "peaceful" in the Hollywood sense, but compared to many methods, it's fast and doesn't require high pain tolerance.

That said, prep is everything. Without antiemetics, timing, and correct dosage, SN carries a serious risk of survival with complications. It's not something to half guess or improvise. If you go that route, read everything. Protocols exist not to make death attractive, but to reduce harm if someone has already made their decision.

No method is perfect. And no method is pain free in every case. But some are significantly less violent or medically risky than others if they fail.

Honestly, it feels like an overdose is the best way to go out, use something like sn or any drug in that nature. I really wish I can go out quick and painless way but life doesn't work that way. Right now, I can't get my hands on any drugs for an easy overdose without risking getting arrested or something. So, just think about the best way to handle things in your situation without getting caught or ending up in a psych ward

I think my dream suicide would be to go to bed not even knowing I would never wake up, and just falling asleep and never waking up. This would make it completely passive, and I wouldn't even know it was happening. Obviously, impossible.

My plausible but unobtainable method would be oral midazolam, followed after 30 minutes by IV propofol and rocuronium. Midazolam gets rid of anxiety, propofol puts you to sleep, rocuronium stops your breathing. This is how they do MAID in Canada. Obviously possible from a medical/physical standpoint, but pretty much off the table. Nembutal/barbiturates could go in this category too. To a lesser extent guns as well. Instant but painful and probably more required to overcome SI.

My plausible and obtainable method would be hanging. You can get rope anywhere, and as long as you have a sturdy ligature and anchor point it's almost foolproof. You can back out of partial, but with full once you drop you're done unless you're found or didn't set up properly. Painful, not quick, lots of SI. But unless you're in a ward or being monitored, almost anyone with $10-20 and some privacy can do it.

Damnnnn my dream suicide is wayy more fucked up tbh, like I'm imagining starving, stabbing myself with scalper type weapon or hanging from a bridge in a really brutal way, or just the simplest option of a gunshot to the head.

If we're talking pure efficiency, which is what I personally prioritise, shotgun to the head and hit by train are the most lethal, and a lot of the time very quick.

Me personally, I yearn for a gun

Trains are no guarantee. they have plates that will just push you out of the way.

I must admit I've not done much research on trains, but according to lostallhope.com, trains have about a 96% success rate. I was going off of that.

Maybe it depends where you are, but they have worked on that. Thats why I haven't done that. Plus you are gonna traumatize a lot of people. Its not really fair. Ok I sat infrot of a counselor for this, but she was right. I myself want to go out clean. My death is one of penance.
Well I used to call it an act of contrition.

For me it's a method as peaceful and painless as possible, I want a death like falling into an eternal dreamless sleep and never suffering ever again, I wish I had access to Nembutal and I always suffer from how I cannot just have a painless death like that. I see so much cruelty in how the suffering and torture of human existence is seen as to force and prolong no matter what with no acceptance towards the wish to permanently cease existing but of course if it's up to me I'd choose to permanently erase my existence, I want it to be like I never suffered at all.
