Do you have a preferred way to ctb?

[detached]

Is there any way that you would rather want to die even though that method might not be a reliable way to ctb?

I wish to be able to ctb with a gun, but in my country its really hard to get one.
It also would sound nice to just take a handful of sleeping pills and then die while sleeping. It's simple since It would just be like consuming normal food. However, I used sleeping pills on my first attempt and failed. Probably because it turned out that they weren't lethal at all and I only took 18 pills.

Slitting my wrists in the bathtub with the lights off and candles burning. Unfortunately, this method is just something I romanticized (seen too many movies) as it is completely unreliable. More people survive than die from this method. I tried this method in the moment and I just kept clotting (doesn't help that I'm anemic) and ended up having to go to the ER to get stitches.

Taking sleeping pills would be my second choice. Getting N would be the closest way to achieving this but the price is too steep for me right now.

Whatever puts you to sleep so u aren't even aware that u have died. I like the knock you out in your sleep by far. I don't want a dramatic messy ending lol! Just a quiet uneventful passing. God I want this so much I become more desperate all the time desiring it. It will happen eventually soon. Ironically being sober is making it easier to think clearly and plan better. I'm on no psych meds and seems like I'm now able to see more clearly my options in life which help me find resolve to carry this out.

My perfered method is to use nembutal. Or really any peaceful method is fine, but N is king.

Do you know if N is superior to other short acting barbiturates like amytal or seconal?

I am pretty sure it is because if these other barbiturates were just as good then it would be used in the death penalty or for putting down animals or talked about as an alternative to N.

I would imagine many people would like a magic button that merely stops them from existing. Nembutal sounds interesting if it really is as peaceful and effective as it sounds. I wouldn't want to traumatise anyone or leave too much mess, but I would assume that a shotgun to the head (while near a hospital) would work best if I wanted the best chance of donating my organs. I wouldn't say that I like the method, but it's my top choice. I would like to die while saving/helping someone, but in some cases they might end up with survivors guilt, and I might just mess up anyway and somehow make things worse.

My preferred method now is jumping off beachy head. It's about 20 miles from where I live

 

[phoenixx]

Slitting my wrists in the bathtub is also the way I'd like to die. I just wish this method was more reliable.

A heroin or morphine overdose might be a pleasant way to go

@TheFinalCountdown I've thought of Opiates too, but my understanding is that death is caused by cardiac arrest which can be unpleasant. Though...I'd love to hear otherwise.

I've fantasized about jumping off an 870ish foot bridge into a river...and thought this would be a ballsy, fun and exhilarating way to go out. And I'd be really clear and present at the moment of death. Riding my Mountain Bike at least part of the way to the spot would lend some extra last minute fun.

I don't want to donate my organs as I don't want any part of my body to remain functioning because of 'spooky action at a distance': quantum entanglement.

N sounds so nice but I really do want to be sober when I pass.

I hope to achieve the tourniquet method (with a silk scarf and a wrench) so that others may see that exiting can be quick, painless and free. Though I can imagine it so vividly that it feels like my arteries are compressing and I start to get scared.

Helium with an exit bag would be my ultimate choice...though when I've called local gas stores you have to buy a big tank for $225+ US dollars which I'm not yet prepared to do...and don't want to waste a precious resource. Apparently, it's scarce at the moment. And finding small disposable tanks (that haven't been diluted) may be difficult.

Guns are just too violent for me, and I worry if I bought one I might take a few people with me before I go.

 

[maraexhausted]

My favorite method is the carbon monoxide; It's sames so calm, and it's a good ideia death when you are sleeping... No pain and no worry.

I've been tempted to ask people about if they plan on any such things before they ctb, but figured such subjects were best avoided. I have been tempted, but decided that it wouldn't make a difference in the long run.

1 year ago while on cymbalta after my biggest depression breakout I was so desperate to die I attempted twice. Both extremely clumsy methods and one that could have left me really bad. I was fortunate my I could tore the bag with my teeth.
Point is I just can't grasp how I ever thought it was a good idea to die like that. I guess I was ignorant as it was the first time but I still remember being worried about brain damage. But I still went for it.
I think those meds pushed me to do something like that. Now even with all the shit I feel there's no way I'd ever do something stupid like that.
I'm free of meds of course. These meds can get fked. I only have hope for MAOIs but I can't get them from docs ofc.

Only you have a strong Chance of not dying and becoming mentally diabked.

I can totally get wanting to remove a lot of the cause of pain. But it's pointless as you say and can only interrupt your own plan which is what matters

 

[Hotsackage]

To hang myself. I cant take these celebrities succeeding at it and not me

 

[ThisIsTheLastNight]

My favorite method would be Fentanyl patches.
