Does it hurt to die no matter the method?

[HopelessScientist]

I'm in hospital now and as I thought it's useless but I went here so I wouldn't be a burden on my family and I hate that I have no hope but it seems nobody can help me.

I just want peace but nobody can give it to me.

 

[GasMonkey]

False.
Inert gas and N are painless.

 

[FuneralCry]

Not all methods are painful, a few of them are known to be peaceful, but yet a peaceful suicide is something which is not easily accessible and I believe that only those who are very fortunate die such a peaceful suicide. I very much envy those who died peacefully, if I had access to N I would be long gone at this point.

No one is really an expert except the dead.
I agree with everyone's assessment, but I think you need to prepare for at least some pain, even if it is the mental anguish of it. Essentially prepare for and figure out what your threshold is.

Nembutal, Fentanyl, Heroin, Morphine, they're all pleasant deaths. Jumping from 10 storeys or 100m/300ft if you land on your head is also painless. Partial is painless if you successfully compress the corotid artery and pass out. Nitrogen, Argon and Helium is painless if you have pure gas and vent the carbon dioxide successfully and have good flow rate. Anaesthetics are painless. You just pass out

I posted a gif in another thread of a guy shooting a watermelon with a .500 revolver at point blank range. At normal speed he appears to jump the moment he shoots and the watermelon explodes. In slow motion the bullet passes through the watermelon and the watermelon completely disintegrates with pieces flying in every direction beginning to shower the guy with debris before he so much as twitches. His arm hadn't even yet budged from the enormous recoil even though his hand has snapped back at the wrist. To me that demonstrates that at least with that caliber your synapses would vaporize before you had a chance to feel anything.

Yeah that makes sense. Can you post the video on this thread? and imo a 12 gauge shotgun or high velocity rifle has many times more velocity and power than any revolver . There's shotgun ammo for a 12 gauge of 1600 fps 00 buckshot and 1760 feet per second slugs = no more brain

You might want to research that a little :)

Does it hurt to die no matter the method?

NO one can answer that question. Nobody knows how long signals to pain receptors will be sent, what new signals might be sent if pain receptors are broken (shotgun blast through the mouth that takes out spinal cord), what new ones, even for brief moments of time, may be turned on when distress is detected (lack of oxygen). No one can know this for certain.

 

[leloyon]

I was told the other day that if one was shot in the head, it would hit all the pain receptors and they would be in terrible pain. Then again, they told me this after I mimed shooting myself, so maybe they were just trying to discourage me. It's not like anyone can come back and tell us, but it's interesting to think about considering it seems a shot to the head is universally viewed as a painless death.

 

[alivefornow]

No way to tell. Dying could be painful depending on the method, but death itself? Aren't we all here because we hope it's the end of pain? Best wishes.

I was there... ceased breathing...at my parents house who were on holiday for two weeks... told nobody....by the most insane fluke, my uncle chose that moment to drop by and water the plants! A minute or so later and it would have been too late. They managed to resuscitate me, although I was in the ICU on life support for a few days.
After breathing independently, it's taken about 3 years (guessing), during which time I gradually regained motor function little at a time. Initially I couldn't even comprehend language, let alone speak. Not 100% yet, but manageable.
Method was an Amitriptyline cocktail. Absolutely zero pain and will definitely be using it again.
Just have to follow the schedule precisely and NOT get rescued.

I'm preparing for peace AFTER death. I've been fighting with pain all my life. And we'll fight again on my way out.

 

[FireWalkWithMe]

Sadly we just don't know.

My guess is that the mechanics of passing from life into death, whatever that is and however it happens, I doubt if that process hurts. There isn't really a great biological imperative for that. The pain is supposed to stop you getting to that point in the first place to aid your survival. So I reckon if the method circumvents these processes, by knocking you out or you dieing instantaneously, or in whatever manner it is, it should be possible to not feel pain.

Can you give some more info about this method?

It seems nobody here has died while being half awake and brought back to life in time, I know some of You might not believe me, and believe what you want, but I died in an ambulance and was brought back, and it hurt, I vividly remember that I just felt a pain and woke up again after a few seconds, somehow I felt it all, and it felt like a strong breeze washed over my body, and passed through as if I was noclipping through air, but instead a a normal breeze, one made of needles and bee stingers, which was horrible, it felt like I lost all control of my body and was being ripped to shreds by bullets, it felt hot and sharp, I felt it in every single cell of my body and soul, and my friends' relatives who tried to ctb and was saved has also felt the same thing, so in conclusion, all death, at least, to my extended knowledge, hurts.

That doesn't sound good at all

 

[Next-to-Nil]

I don't know if "almost dying but someone resuscitated me without my consent" counts, but yeah; haven't found a painless way yet, they all hurt like you wouldn't believe. You'd think it stops hurting when you lose consciousness but it's like your lungs and heart are actively aching to make your brain aware that they're not currently working and "apparently" should be.
