What are some extremely cheap and accessible ways to ctb? I'm feeling really desperate and I really don't have the energy to go and do more research. I'm so tired and I just really need to die

I mean... I'm sorry, but you should investigate how you want to ctb.

There's a lot of information in the forum and a lot of common sense methods.

You're free to ask questions if you have them about each method you might wanna use, but just asking "how do I kill myself I don't want to research it" is not really nice...

I've done so much research before. Clearly I'm frantic and desperate here. I figure posting this is better than just going and dunking my head in a lake until I die. I would think other suicidal people would understand how hard it is to motivate yourself to do anything (that's my experience, at least).

Full suspension hanging. Rope is cheap, and if you can find a strong anchor point (e.g., pull-up bar, tree branch), it is very accessible. Make sure you plan well and don't get interrupted. This is a very reliable method, but if you wing it and mess it up, you could survive with permanent brain damage and paralysis.

My plan when I was younger was to jump from a building, but I think the cons of that is possible survival and also it's very hard to find a tall enough building. Ultimately I'm waiting until I can afford a more reliable method, but jumping sounded excellent when I was younger.

I understand the feeling of just wanting to be gone and I really hate how difficult suicide is for us, I think that if suicide was straightforward and I had a good answer to this question I would certainly be long gone at this point.

The 2 methods that I've always considered because of their accessibility are hanging and drowning but they both sound horrific, difficult to go through with and hanging just sounds so risky to me and scares me. There are just no easy answers to this and all that anyone can do with methods is do their own research to decide what is best for themselves, but I really do get that it's tiring feeling trapped in this world. We really shouldn't have to struggle so much in finding ways to finally leave.

Those are the two methods I was considering as well. I think the hardest part for me is the chance of permanent damage to your body if you decide to back out, otherwise painful or tricky methods wouldn't seem nearly as scary. Any method that requires asphyxiation seems tricky to me because I can't seem to find the sweet spot to make me lose consciousness.

It really does suck that this isn't easier. I genuinely have no idea what I will do if I can't cbt. The thought of living until I die of natural causes makes me want to cry and puke and hyperventilate.

Free: jumping and drowning
Cheap/affordable: hanging and SN

If hanging and drowning were the methods you were considering:

I'm 100% pro-choice, but I also believe that the person doing it should be able to make the choice themself. Also, not everyone here is trustworthy, why would another person tell you, EXPLICITLY YOU how to kill yourself? In many countries it's legal to share general info, but not guide another particular person how to do it. And even if it wasn't illegal, what sorts of twisted mind would do that, especially for a person who refuses to educate themselves and understand their options?
Also, we can assume that everyone advising you here is ALIVE. Either they failed their attempts or never attempted.
It's okay to ask and try to figure out the details, if someone is capable of making proper decision and just doesn't understand some detail. But it's absolutely not reasonable to ask to just handle you everything, especially because no accessible method is really perfect.
Your post reads more like a cry for help, and I'm not sure if that's a good place to post cries for help. Fingers crossed for you to find options to either get better or ctb. Some research on ctb tho is definitely your job.

I completely get how you are feeling, that's the exact way I feel too. Desperate to be gone but too overwhelmed and tired by all the research and planning and so on and scared of the repercussions of surviving. I feel like I'm so low already and it's so unfair I don't even have the energy to do things correctly/find out how to end myself. You are not alone in feeling like this, believe me.

I understand how you feel, but a failed attempt to CTB is usually the result of a poorly researched method or one enacted in haste. How many people cut their wrists or swallow lord knows what kind of medication only to wake up in an ER. If you think things are bad now, imagine the trouble that will come if you are known to be suicidal.

Unless the real (even if not fully calculated) goal is to be saved. I've never met or heard of a person whose life has improved since a suicide attempt, yet they keep trying. If the goal is to attempt and be saved, one could go to the ER or call emergency and describe a viable plan and just get hospitalized for that. The same outcome minus the physical harm. If the goal is to actually ctb, it requires research. By doing this homework one kinda proves that they are capable of understanding things and making decisions.
