Do you prefer peaceful or painful methods? Why?

[pinkribbonscars]

I've decided on hanging because it's painful yet quick and highly effective. I considered gunshot, but it would be considered a red flag if I was caught with one. I am a non gun owner with a history of suicidal ideation after all. Hanging is the next best thing.

I don't want to be in agony, but I do want my death acutely felt, and pain is the way to do it. I like violent methods because I want to make a statement and feel I deserve the pain.

A peaceful exit is not only boring to me, it's also scary. What if I pass out and don't realize when I've died? I want to know when the time has come for real,

I think a painful death will make your survival instinct work, and unfortunately your survival instinct is not logical. It will work like a madman. It's a complex subject and it takes a lot of depression to get to it. There are many options, but it all takes courage

I'm aware more painful deaths increase your si, so I'll be drinking alcohol and taking beta blockers.

It upsets when people say that "if you really wanted to die, you'd just do it." Unless you're completely screwed, like incarcerated or something, it takes awhile to build up the courage to do it. Sylvia Plath actually discussed this in The Bell Jar. If it's not on impulse due to a terrible life circumstance, it does take a lot of depression to get there. It's a hell I wouldn't wish on anyone.

 

[MatrixPrisoner]

Peaceful of course. Fear of pain and suffering is the only thing stopping me. I wish there was an simple off switch or plug that could be unplugged. Living is torture.

 

[Duality]

I would much prefer a painless death than a painful one. I think most people would prefer it to be peaceful, otherwise N wouldn't have been so popular with the hassle it was to get it.

Pain is a big barrier for CTBing and there are really only a few ways to die painlessly. And then, you have to deal with your SI.

I think I'm the opposite of you - I would rather die in my sleep not knowing that I died.

 

[I_Am_Trashman]

I'd strongly prefer peaceful. Without knowing ideally. My main deterrents are pain or surviving with severe disability as a result.

 

[HappyForever?]

Peacefulness is a huge advantage for sure. However, if I have to choose between a peaceful but slow and unreliable method and a painful but quick and reliable method, I might pick the latter.

 

[midnightluv]

I don't necessarily want a painful death, I'd much rather have a peaceful one, but I feel like I deserve a painful death so idk

 

[MBG]

Peaceful, painless and quick.

Why? Because I'm not a masochist.

That's why I'm hoping the nitrogen gas R2D ReBreather lll will work.

 

[enough of this]

Peaceful, by FAR. I've had enough pain and violence in my life to last me 1,000 lifetimes.

 

[Anon7b8]

If its under 5 minutes and your on the bus already, a pain rating of 8to10 would be acceptable personally.

 

[Teleftaía Anapnoí]

I have a belief in an afterlife. I don't know what it will be like, I just know that it's hard to think otherwise when I've had out-of-body and near-death experiences. I saw my body, my consciousness was not attached to it. Given this, I think a peaceful and painless death is better for the transition from living in matter to non-living. But even if after death it's just a great darkness and emptiness, the whole process of pain is something I'd like to avoid as much as possible. That´s why i choose SN method.

 

[didntmeantohauntyou]

I hope to go peacefully but A gun might be my only realistic option unfortunately

That's funny
"if you really wanted to die, you'd just do it."

 

[CW36]

People used to die by very painful means, as it was seen as honourable e.g. the samurai. Many might say that these days, honour is a rare commodity, and that someone's promise generally doesn't hold much weight. And where I'm from, values and traditions are certainly disappearing and diluting everyday.

 

[FuneralCry]

I just wish to fall into an eternal and dreamless sleep, I would like my death to be as peaceful as possible, I don't see suffering as being desirable in any way.

 

[87316]

Peaceful, hopefully. The one i've planned on is laying my neck on train tracks right before the train comes. I've planned everything out in my mind, however if that one doesn't go well for me for whatever reason, i won't be opposed to painful options. The pain doesn't really matter to me if it will eventually be gone, no matter how long it would take.

 

[isthisit?]

Partial hanging because SN is unobtainable. It's quick, it's effective but looks gruesome.

 

[Peaceful Departure]

Peaceful of course. Fear of pain and suffering is the only thing stopping me. I wish there was an simple off switch or plug that could be unplugged. Living is torture.

This. The irony is I have an enormous amount of pain and suffering in my daily life.

Something about you saying , you deserve the pain gets my respect. For someone who gave up on people a long time ago, thank you! I hope in the end you feel no pain and you get the peace you deserve.

 

[GreenBanana23]

I want something that will do it fast. Painful or not. Though I'm not a fan of the idea of some pain/agony, as I've heard can occur with SN. I'd love to blast my head off because, like you have mentiond it maks a statement. Too bad I can't get friersmes as of right now or ever. Could be pssobile to find something under the table I suppose….. but to me anything but a gun seems impossible I don't think I can do anything else. It s a lot like how I am with general life things, if I can't do it a certain way it almost feels impossible even though I know I can do it the thing just becomes harder (ex doing workouts at certain times or certain ways if I can't I feel like it's doing nothing even though it's the same as If I did it another way. Another example is cooking I feel a strong urge to follow timers EXACTLY as possible with minimal divergence)

 

[venin]

I'd like to go as peaceful as possible, because my life was so full of drama, pain, violence and distress.

 

[PracheenKaal_00!]

I chose the peaceful method as I am afraid of the pain that I would have to endure during the CTB attempt. I just want to CTB peacefully. Painful methods would cause me to chicken away for a while.

However, if the peaceful method takes a lot of time, I would not go for it. I would want the peaceful method to be quick, as well as fail proof.

Yet, if peaceful method options fail, I will certainly go for the painful one. Also, if the date of my CTB nears, and I'm losing options, I will go for the painful method.
I'm just hoping that the painful methods would be quick, and that I do not have to suffer in pain for long.

Ultimately, not everything will go according to plan. So, if painful option is the only viable one, I will certainly go for it.

 

[troubled983]

I'd go for peaceful if it was a long method. I don't think I'd mind pain if it was short lasting though.
Heavily considering the car decapitation method.

 

[Praestat_Mori]

Peaceful! No doubt! Preferably I just want to fall asleep and never wake up again.

 

[timetodie24]

Painful because I deserve to suffer. But quick / no turning back because of SI.

So I wouldn't take something that would hurt but take days and could be treated as i'd likely chicken out and get help (and i live with family that would notice I was ill). But something like jumping, if I can overcome SI then there's no turning back once I've jumped. So even if it hurts like hell for a bit when I land, as long it was high enough it doesn't matter. If cyanide was accessible then I'd take that tbh. Supposed to be one of most painful ways to go . But it's over in minutes so little time to chicken out and even if I did they'd unlikely get antidote in time.
