Method Cutting method ( questions about it - not a method to practice yet )

[Buh-bye!]

Good afternoon buds,
I stumbled upon a 4chan user's reply to a suicide thread where they describe the method they might going with. wanted to know if it's actually as peaceful and simple as described below by them,
"use a very sharp knife, deep cut close to the armpite, sever the major artery in the arm. If the knife is sufficiently sharp it shouldn't be too painful and bleeding out is a relatively peaceful death."

- which arteries might he be referring to ?
- if the knife's sharp, does it actually make the attempt less painful ? ( seems convincing )
- emphasis on the word " severe ", does he mean to cut it off or just slit it ?

that's that.

Words of wisdom by them : "The worst thing I can imagine is somehow surviving a gunshot to the head, and then you're not only brain damaged but then people will "worry" and you'll be on suicide watch in a state which was worse than before you tryied to kill yourself."

( doubt : what's sanctuary btw, i've been off of this site for sometime don't know what sanctuary is and if i am eligible to participate in that forum, thankyou )

Cutting is ridiculously unreliable. Almost certainly it will NOT kill you and you will have horrendous scars. Also, once you fail, prepare for a one way ticket to the psyche ward.

well i was hoping quite a lot that the answer would be different this time. shit i guess. imagine it actually working, how accessible
Thanks a hell lot for the comment mate
although methods like partial and night night revolve around the whole arteries blocking thing.
severing an artery should work somewhat similarly to i would guess what do you say

I don't think cutting is a good method for ctb, for general coping though it's pretty up there in ways that definitely just help you mentally even just briefly, not saying it isn't possible to ctb that method, but you'd need a reference i feel and a strong will to do it.
Few points on the method/questions, I think you're mixing up sever and severe, sever means to cut, which if you lead a knife all the way to the armpit you're definitely going to hit it, (youll be able to tell an arterial bleed pretty easily as it will be pressurized and spraying out with the beat of your heart, and usually a bright colour almost neon).

The sharpness factor > so people usually use razor blades/ very sharp knives to cut due to the fine edge it makes it neater/less likely to infect, more precise yada yada, you will definitely feel a cut, even just knicking your finger with an extremely sharp blade a it'll take a moment for the body to realise as the blood flows but there will definitely be pain.

The artery he's referring to is the The axillary artery , literally any artery being nicked will kill you in minutes. It's also pretty much a death sentence without immediate medical care.
Exsanguination from an artery will be stressful, messy it won't be an easy way to go. there will be a lot of blood. The pain might not be bearable but you will get cold/go into shock and pass out probably within a minute of hitting a big enough tear/cut in any specific artery.

My 2 cents though, definitely consider another method.

partial and night night also aren't very effective. not as ineffective as cutting or a paracetamol overdose, but still not that effective

I saw a study that actually showed a correlation between more processes damaged and using broken glass (vs a razor blade). I interpreted that as: the more desperate people are, the more damage they will do (because people using broken glass may have a higher percentage of psychosis or things like that). Anyways all this to say that it's very difficult to CTB with cutting because you need basically no survival instinct. You need to cut through nerves and muscle to get to major arteries.

thank you, really, for the brief reply. appreciate
just one more thing - harming the axillary is gonna be more deadly than the carotid ?
if so then i'd probably keep this method as a backup in some way. i can bear the pain if i put my mind to it. but just trying to find a painless one if i can, 'cause it'd certainly be a better alternative with lesser risk of SI being troublesome

There is a reason why cutting is at 2 to 6 percent effectiveness. Imo, not even worth contemplating.

That's true,although the part about the effectiveness of these methods like partial being more than some other ordinary(easily accessible, prtty much) methods is what keeps my interest in these methods. i don't have access to other methods so these seemingly simple methods are my way to go

what's your thought or method if i may ask mate ?

damn that right ? i guess i can be as desperate as using a broken glass, maybe have done sumn like that i don't recall. but really don't wanna make an attempt and ANYHOW let people see me alive after it. so can't do sumn that has not a lot of chance of killing me

man the accessibility of these cutting methods makes them attractive ig. and ofc there's the television brainwashing in effect

I would just like to say about cutting in general... unless you a 'seasoned cutter', you are probably not going to be able to do it, at least not without a lot of pain or a shit ton of drugs. I've been cutting over 25 years and whilst my injuries are pretty bad, I wouldn't be able to cut so deep without all the 'practice' - for want of a better word. SI will definitely play a big part as it still does to me to some degree. I don't think I would be able to cut through my axillary artery put it that way.

Fair enough, partial can be decent if you make sure your SI is under control imo

My planned method is full hanging - can't get SN incase my parents find it and freak out. Also I don't really like the idea of potentially vomiting. Whereas with full hanging I'll only be in pain for a few seconds before passing out and eventually dying
