Drowning

[SadCookie]

Hello,
I need help with the method.
How painful drowning is?

I never knew how to swim so my plan is just go into nearby lake and jump or slowly enter it.

There is also river really close and I dont know which place is better and easier/more peaceful to do it?

On lake I found perfect calm spot where I can enter water.

I am looking other free options but I cant find any.

Thank you for your help good people in advance

When I was a kid, a wave pulled me in deep water and I didn't know how to swim.

What I can tell you is that you SI will immediately kick in.
I remember holding my breath as I was going down, and pushing with my legs as strong as I could when I could touch the bottom.
That was enough for me to reach the surface and take a breath, before sinking again.
I did this 2/3 times then I was exhausted. "Luckly" for me, an old man was swimming nearby and without thinking twice I just fucking grabbed him.
At first they were confused but they brought me to the shore. In the end I was fine and just ingested some water.
Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if that man wasn't there.

To keep it short and answer your question, in my opinion you will panic and yes it will be just as painful as full suspension hanging, as you are choking basically.
Probably even worse - full suspension hanging might still block your bloodflow to the brain and make you pass out. In the water this won't happen.

Personally I would find a better way. Or if you only have a water surface aviable, try hyperventilating while immersed up to your neck.
Or if you have a bathtub, you can do it there.

But again, just throwing yourself in high water, imo is just a bad idea.

Panic is a reaction on an unexpected situation, a fear of unknown, a fear of damage, or a fear of death. If you want to live, then of course drowning may be scary for you. But if you fully accept death, fully trust the method, and don't suffer from mental disorders with anxiety, there should be no panic.

[DEATH IS FREEDOM]

Drowning was a common suicide method during the 19th century. One has to accept that death is painful. Death has always been painful. Until a peaceful method was invented, a method which is not always peaceful.

If you want to know how painful drowning is when you are fully conscious you can try to take a deep breath under water. I'm sure that's a very unpleasant feeling. If you really consider drowning as a method you should make sure you are already deeply unconscious to not feel the suffocation and the pain that comes with it.

I do not recommend drowning as a method imo there're way better methods that much more peaceful.

I nearly drowned in a swimming pool when I was 5/6 yr old. I remember first panicking when I was floating down,then a sense of calm came over me as I reached the bottom of the pool. Luckily( or should I say unfortunately) a man saw what was happening and pulled me out. I think drowning would be a good way to go.

What methods are much better and more peaceful than drowning with inhaling butane?

 

[MyChoiceAlone]

i don't think you can get a sample of what drowning feels like? somehow you'd have to be able to suck water into your lungs.

If you pass out due to hypoxia while holding breath, you won't feel anything afterwards.

Thanks for replies. I wanted to do it yesterday... But it will be done today. I will make my,goodbye thread later. 21h left.

I have been reading this forum for lomg time but never decided to join until now

My personal preference is CO (with charcoal). Inert Gas / N2 (with exit bag / SCBA Mask) I'd consider it also very peaceful. Inhaling butane also needs a setup like inert gas bc butane itself isn't lethal like CO. Some drug/med ODs are certainly more peaceful than drowning.

Drowning - what comes to mind: head under water, suffocation, breathing water, extreme panic, probably pain for some time. OK unless you are totally unconscious due to the use of drugs that can make you unconscious/coma so you don't feel that.

Well, that's my personal opinion and everyone is free to choose their methods as they like.

If you pass out due to hypoxia while holding breath, you won't feel anything afterwards.

I doubt that you can hold your breath until you pass out.

Afaik there's hyperventilation that's a possible way to pass out.

you can't swim. i see that as an actual problem believe it or not. maybe if the current is really strong in the river and is deep enough. as for the lake, since you can't swim, i think si would kick in pretty hard and you wouldn't be able to get out deep/far enough. depends on how hell bent you are to do this. if you could swim, you could so go as far as you can til
you get too tired. but even then, if you have a good set of lungs (especially if you're on your back) the oxygen in your lungs alone can keep you afloat.

 

[frozensun]

I always had this idea of drowning for a long time since I don't have access to any other resources. I know it's going to be painful but I was left with no other option. I just wanted to end somehow, afterall. I left home to jump into sea once, but there were people. They were looking at me suspiciously. I got scared as I have social anxiety. Then I returned home disappointed

That sounds scary. When I come close to river I feel weird and something is stopping me from jumping. Good thing is that everything is very dark around so when its night time nobody can see me there...

Did you swallow any water during that incident? How painful on a scale of 1/10 was it? Hope it wasn't too much.

This is a very easy, painless, free method, that can very easily pass as accidental. Directions: https://imgur.com/a/cNul4r7 I haven’t seen it mentioned before, but they sure like to warn us about it, basically giving us instructions by doing the opposite of their points Instructions...

My personal preference is CO (with charcoal).

I presume, you won't get pure CO with charcoal, the product of burning would also include CO2 and possibly some stinky contaminations which make the method barely better than inhaling highly concentrated CO2 that may be produced in chemical reaction of sodium bicarbonate with citric acid. Inhaling >50% CO2 may knock you out very quickly.

Inert Gas / N2 (with exit bag / SCBA Mask) I'd consider it also very peaceful.

An inert gas may be used for drowning too. I don't see significant advantages of using a bag or a mask instead of water when you have an asphyxiant gas. Drowning may be even more easy and require a less amount of gas, because in this case you need an asphyxiant gas only to pass out, further deprivation of oxygen will be done with water.

Inhaling butane also needs a setup like inert gas bc butane itself isn't lethal like CO.

Butane from a gas duster may be inhaled straight from the balloon's nozzle without any additional equipment. Such balloons are more cheap and easy to obtain than cylinders with nitrogen or other inert gas.

Some drug/med ODs are certainly more peaceful than drowning.

They are much more difficult to obtain for majority of people and purity of such substances may be difficult to test. In some cases, OD and drowning may be combined in order to increase the odds of dying.

Drowning - what comes to mind: head under water, suffocation, breathing water, extreme panic, probably pain for some time. OK unless you are totally unconscious due to the use of drugs that can make you unconscious/coma so you don't feel that.

Yeah, drowning is actually not a single method, it's rather a group of methods that may imply different feelings in a wide range. Depending on the chosen strategy, you may experience unpleasant feelings, neutral feelings, or pleasurable sensations (for example, when inhaling N2O or diethyl ether) which may make drowning a luxurious method, possibly even better than death with OD of barbiturates.

I doubt that you can hold your breath until you pass out.

I was able to overcome the urge to breathe without using any auxiliary substances, but I understand that this may be difficult to do for other people.

Inhaling >50% CO2 may knock you out very quickly.

The thing about CO is that it does not activate SI reactions and suffocation reactions like CO2 does. A relatively small concentration of CO is already lethal bc CO binds much easier to the Iron Fe2+ in the blood cells than oxygen and the CO is not exchanged in the lungs again. Therefore suffocation without feeling to suffocate. Lethal concentrations that lead quickly to unconsciousness and death can be reached with charcoal easily, users posted their test results in some threads.

I doubt that anyone can breathe pure CO2 without activating strong SI reactions.

 

[Dying Knight]

The thing about CO is that it does not activate SI reactions and suffocation reactions like CO2 does.

Nevertheless, your method produces both substances, so you may experience the negative effects of inhaling CO2. CO is good when you obtain it with a decent purity, for example, via decomposition of formic acid in presence of concentrated sulfuric acid.

I doubt that anyone can breathe pure CO2 without activating strong SI reactions.

There are confirmed cases of suicide with CO2.
