So, over the past few months I've looked into quite a few methods; including hanging (both full and partial), carbon monoxide and drowning.

Drowning has really stuck with me and I want to make it my method. At first I figured since I can't swim, it would be an easy method. However, I'm pretty sure I'd still panic and try to stay afloat due to SI.

I'm not entirely sure what had lead me to this idea but I want to drive my car into a nearby lake at midnight and drown. Would this be a stupid idea? I read somewhere a car can stay afloat for 30-120 seconds and once the vehicle becomes even partially submerged, the odds of survival are slim.

If I do this at midnight or some odd hours of the night, I doubt anyone would be around to try and save me. Plus, I won't be able to get out even if SI kicks in and I'll just essentially drown; which is my plan.

What would be odds of this method working? Should I choose to just walk into the lake with some weights and drown that way?

The doors cannot be opened due to pressure from the water so close your windows and get drunk. I hope life leads you away from this but no judgement if not. Good luck friend

this would work, but it would feel a little painful for sure (there's a burning feeling when water enters your lungs). i'm assuming that pain isn't an issue though
i wish you the best whether you go through with this or not ^_^

Personally (this is just me) I wouldn't want to impact the wildlife any more than I would have to. I've been thinking about CTB at my local lake as well but I wouldn't want to pollute the water with all the nasty gas/oil/antifreeze/etc. that's in a car. Obviously boats and watercraft use the lake but something about harming the environment sits wrong with me.

In theory DUI around a lake at night could look like an accident so loved ones might not even be suspicious of the method.

Yes, in theory I would like making it look like an accident. Might make it better for loved ones to accept.

Head injuries from impact and stuck seat belts seem to be some of the reasons people can't get out of a submerged car.

Random thought: If you can find the Mythbusters episode where they detail how to properly escape a submerged car it could be helpful. It was interesting to see how Adam reacted despite all of the fail safes in place, having done a dry practice run, and knowing that there was someone there with O2 to assist as soon as the car was submerged.

Whatever happens I hope you find peace.

I've heard different descriptions; that it is peaceful/painful. Tbh, I think I'm doing this method because it's the most accessible and easiest.

And it has a very high success rate too.

Any other tips on how to make it successful? I don't want to fail, want to make sure it gets done in one try.
Actually, you're good to go, it seems like to me. If nobody saves you during drowning, you die. It's one of the most reliable methods. You don't have to worry too much about failing, especially since you mentioned you can't swim.

I like the idea of drowning and almost died that way years ago. It's not as bad as people say. The initial panic is over very quick because as you panic, you try to breathe and your lungs fill with water.

But obviously you can't breathe water so then you drown very quickly and begin to see a pinpoint of white light that feels very warm and comforting as it draws nearer to you and envelopes you. My lungs burned for a few seconds before the light appeared, but it was over very fast. I also didn't know how to swim and someone pulled me out before the white light fully took me. I was sad it didn't take me as I felt undeniable love not from this Earth and fullness in a fatherly embrace that I can't describe. It spoke to me without speaking and welcomed me home.

I don't suggest doing it in a car as you may panic as the car begins to fill with water. That may cause you to feel trapped and scared and will drastically prolong the time it takes for you to drown. Don't do it in a car. You could also try to get out of the car and further panic if you can't open the doors due to water pressure.

Take some sedatives or what you'd like to be calm and go into water with weights or at a beach at night if it suits you. Listen to music perhaps. Human beings evolved from water like every life form on the planet. Look up celebrities and famous authors who drowned themselves for ideas if it helps. Virginia Wolfe is one I think. Jeff Buckley is a famous musician who did it as well.

I worked at a state hospital & had patients that were drowning victims. They were stuck in a vegetative state for the rest of their "lives" unable to speak or even feed themselves.
So much can go wrong with drowning. Your last minutes, at best, you'll be gasping for oxygen & be "trapped" in water.
No judgement, but please think this through!
I hope you find peace & end your suffering no matter what you choose🌹💔

if i may. don't buckle your seat belt. bigger chance for you to hit your head on the windshield and hopefully knock you out and make this method easier
