Cartoid slitting under shower

[noiloone]

I've heard the cartoid is fairly accessible in the cartoid triangle. I was planning to slit it with an open dual-sided razor blade (the rect ones without a handle) while standing under a shower to fasten the death. How feasible is this? I do SH, and can cut quite abruptly and swiftly.

dying by cutting or bleeding out is not recommended, id suggest trying another method sorry its too risky

I would like a bit more elaboration on that. Given the way I'm planning to do it, just a single forceful slash is going to do the job (especially since the water prevents clotting) I guess.

Non-methods that should not be attempted

mod note: this has been added to the suicide resource compilation at the top. This has been made in response to the ever increasing amount of posts made about highly unlikely methods. Please read before posting about one of these methods or feel free to link if someone does post about them...

i dont know if youve already seen this or not, but this provides a lot of helpful reasons. bleeding out has risks of surviving, being found, and ended up disfigured and/or locked away in a psych ward. it would also be very slow and painful, probably not guaranteed unconsciousness.

if you want a more reliable and peaceful method, id suggest looking into the threads about SN (sodium nitrite) or partial/full suspension hanging. these are very well researched and more reliable methods, although nothing can ever be 100% certain!

i wish you the best with whatever struggles you are going through to reach this point, resorting to slicing your own throat is very extreme, and im sorry you feel the need to do it. i hope you find some peace.

Although it seems accessible, it's not recommended. It takes a lot of force to cut all the way down to the arteries, and overall, the carotid is incredibly protected by muscle. Just because you can palpate and feel your pulse easily with your fingers in that area, the carotid runs incredibly deep. Additionally, I've read from EMTs and other first responders that the carotid arteries themselves are tough to cut through - they tend to be rubbery, thick, and can slip away from the blade. I'd imagine by the time you'd cut that deep, you'd fall unconscious due to shock. If unsuccessful, you'd suffer with nerve damage, muscle damage, potentially paralysis, painful recovery time if hospitalised, and a nasty scar.

I'd suggest thinking about any other method but cutting. I understand if you're experiencing a very painful period in your life, however do know you deserve a peaceful, and much less troublesome or painful death than that. Take care of yourself.

I've thought about taking a razor blade to my carotid, and people have done it, but it seems incredibly difficult and low %. Gonna have to try something else.

Would you mind sharing your experience so far? Cutting is the most accessible method for me. I don't have access to chemicals/gas or tall structures. It seems to be much more reliable than falling/hanging for me.

I can see why cutting the femoral artery is a non-method, but I can't say the same for the cartoid. I have done my fair share of SH before, so I don't think it's gonna be a big issue. I'll prep myself with gore videos of people slitting their cartoid, or medical videos.

Now supposing it takes longer to turn unconscious, I'll bite a cloth in my mouth so that I'll not get any interference whatsoever. I'm not gonna be found for 12 hours to say the least. And being found in a bloody and disfigured pool? I can't care about that any more than my present.

Well, people have done it. I've never cut myself, suicide attempt or not. It feels like the carotid is right there and easy to cut but I'm just not sure. In For Whom the Bell Tolls characters carry razor blades just in case. "Push hard behind the ear and pull down." I'm not sure I want to risk involuntary hospitalization over that.

That certainly was informative, though I'm not 100% sure about the credibility of all the facts you have taken your time to list. If it doesn't bother you, could you please link me (or tell me how to access) a thread about cartoid cutting here? I can't seem to find a legit one (maybe because "non-methods" themselves aren't elaborated enough?)

I'm seriously considering it. As mentioned, I have really sharp and open razors, and I'm very sure that I won't be found for at least 12 hours. Cries will be muffled with a cloth, and the running water will take care of the rest. Like you rightfully pointed out, I'm desperate enough to resort to aggression and violence. Hence, I would really appreciate more info about it.

Most of my information is from scrolling on Quora so I understand if you are sceptical. Some of these may not quote the same information as I have since it's been quite long since I've researched about this method, it's difficult to find the exact post which gave me the information I have mentioned.

Those are links to specific answers, but here are a few in which you can scroll through yourself to gain some understanding.

Finally, I want to mention there are public-access medical reports of self-inflicted neck wounds to the carotid artery which go in graphic detail (both in words and imagery) of the method and outcome. There are both reports describing cases in which patients survived (due to hospitalisation), and ones that describe deaths. They were helpful to me as they discouraged me from taking such method, but I am aware for you they may be useful due to seeing the actual evidence. I won't link any here due to the content itself, but I can advise to research on your own time.
