Resource Can yall add this to the suicide resource compilation? Super easy way to induce a blackout and painlessly quickly drown yourself in your bathtub

Hi

Been trying to find a method for a while now. The suicide resource compilation was good but most of the methods were very technically involved, hard to do, and gave you lots of ways to back out.

Then I found this https://sanctioned-suicide.net/threads/shallow-water-blackout.4315/

It's great. You just hyperventilate (breath in and out as fast as you can, full breaths not shallow) for a few minutes. Hold your breath and you'll quickly black out. If you're positioned in such a way your face is underwater afterwards, boom ctb

I have no idea why this isn't more prominent. It's free, super super easy to do. Almost everyone in the world has a bathtub, nearby creek or lake or swimming pool. Hell you could buy a kiddie pool for $30 and ctb in that. Could probably pull it off just using a big bucket. So many options

AND, it's hard to screw up. The only way I can even think of things going south is if someone chances into you in the ~5m it takes to pull the thing off. Which would suck cause you'd probably be severely brain damaged and vegetable-ized, but the whole thing is like 10m start to finish, being generous


Can we please get this added to the Suicide resources compilation? I think it's a very good one to have there, for all the reasons I listed above. (It'd be super cool if the entry or whatever was listed as "shallow water blackout." Or something similar. "How to drown yourself" sounds so terrifying I don't think most people would click on it. I def didn't click on the other drowning threads mentioned there)

Edit: the link to the suicide resources compilation keeps refusing to work. This is attempt 4 at fixing it lol and I'm not gonna try again. Just the main suicide method guide stickied, by the official SS account, yall know the one

p. The only way I can even think of things going south is if someone chances into you in the ~5m it takes to pull the thing off

ive seen this in the forum some time ago and also wondered why it was not documented on it as much. i remember bumping around some posts and i think the idea was that its not very reliable to induce unconsciousness + little documentation + body's natural response to start breathing once unconscious can lead to complications with breathing in water and getting a painful failed attempt
lots of resources online on how to prevent SWD tho so maybe could be reverse engineered if anyone is interested ig
would love to hear if anyone has any experience with this method

Afaik, it's difficult to pull off, at least without additional means of asphyxiating oneself.

Not with SWB directly but when I was a kid I was able to make myself pass out just by holding my breath and doing nothing else. I would just hold my breath "hard" for lack of a better word and my vision would fuzz and go red and eventually I'd black out. The unconsciousness only lasted for a few seconds before I'd wake up all confused, but in theory that'd be enough.

Hold my breath "hard," meaning, I'd clench all my face, stomach and gut muscles as hard I could while holding my breath. Basically what you'd probably do if you were trying to get your forehead vein to pop out in anger, like in cartoons

When I was ~15 or so I lost that superpower, now I just get close to passing out and it causes the absolute worst throbbing headache for about ten seconds then goes away. I just tried the method I described, just ~30s of hyperventilating and probably ~20, 30s of holding my breath I was close to passing out

For reference I've always been somewhat of a lightheaded guy, on multiple occasions I've passed out literally just from standing up and nothing else. So YMMV, you all know your own bodies better than everyone else

Tldr the "making yourself pass out" part sounds extremely easy and doable, at least for me. I'm more wondering about the drowning part and any problems I've/we've missed

Same result can be done with falling method. Its why most jumpers will drink alcohol, to kill SI. But some have made themselves blackout drunk by a cliff side and "accidentally" slip off. Xanax with alcohol seems more common lately.
