I'm 19 and live in the US, so I don't have access to alcohol. Any other options?
I don't have many options. I'm broke so I can't really buy many things.
You'll be wishing you'd ODd on Benadryl! The truth is all available options are awful. But personally I'd take the very slim chance of ODing on Benadryl than hanging. At least while frothing at the mouth you won't know you're doing it. Now, having a seizure and surviving has very real repercussions which you might not be aware of but my experience with hanging tells me 99.99% of people who try it find themselves unprepared for the terror and panic and scrabbling desperately to get free, regretting the choice to the point where they'd rather just keep living
Eh, if done right with the proper technique it's max 5-15 seconds of pain. Not saying it's amazing but it's quick, cheap, and hard to mess up if you have done your research. You can get yourself pretty close to unconscious even before you drop as well.
Don't believe everything you read. Once you get past a certain point the body fights back and THAT is the point at which it becomes genuinely awful. It happens *after* the initial blackout stage which I think is why there's so much misinformation floating around
I mean yeah suspending yourself by your neck with a rope is not going to be pleasant at all. It's not a painless method. But as a cheap accessible option it's quick and gets the job done. Believe me I have other options before going full suspension.
There's no way to get rid of SI for a method that requires you to be conscious, especially with OTC drugs. Benzos and propranolol are the only things that will help here, but they won't get rid of it.

Sorry to hear that my friend. I hope you find your way out of the headspace you must currently be in
Maybe because you know hanging has a higher chance of killing you compared to an OD? Or maybe higher consequences of what'll happen if you live. Not invalidating you and I don't know your mindset, but it's a common thing for a suicidal person to not necessarily want to die. I think it'd be easier for me to take pills than to use a gun... maybe because I know it's possible to live through pills, a part of me wants a chance to live (and not end up a vegetable).
