Thinking of trying this within the hour. Could a well heated knife melt through all the junk and reach the heart easily? Idc if it's unimaginably painful unless it takes more than 5 minutes to lose consciousness altogether... I believe going out feeling one of the strongest of emotions is a nice way out, hence the disregard for pain. Also because I'd like to "atone"(for what good a few minutes of pain will do), in case there isn't any sort of afterlife. No one knows for sure.

Nope. Nope nope nope. A hot knife won't "burn through the junk". You'll just give yourself a superficial injury and possibly burns.

id imagine you may have a reflex where you'd pull the knife out, or something similar

If pain is not a problem for you, harakiri / sepoku is much better than this

We should make a ranking regarding those bizarre methods that once in a while appear here... i remember one member asking if CTB by getting AIDS is a reliable method lol

You would be cauterizing the wound as you plunged the knife in- and this is the opposite of what one would want.

i think the method of gas poisoning could be the most accessible method to some ppl here because some of the methods i've seen suggested, like this one right here, tells me some of y'all probably have a gas leak in your apartments

Stab a knife into your heart that's "easier" if you can do it. Whether the knife is hot or cold a lot of SI has to be defeated to do that. I don't recommend trying it at all. There are way better methods available. I'm sorry you have to go through so much pain and desperation to consider such a cruel method.

Hey! Have you heard about Commotio Cordis? If not please develop an understanding. Also, let me know if you have any ideas on how to implement this. Seems the best way to leave this world Thanks.

This would not cause commotio cordis. Commotio cordis is caused by extreme force to the chest at a very specific time in the cardiac cycle, an amount of force one cannot replicate on themselves. It is almost exclusively present in contact sports and is purely random and extremely rare. Stabbing yourself in the chest has nothing to do with this.

As far as stabbing yourself in the heart, you have a bone there for a reason. You will not be able to penetrate your own sternum, it's simply not possible. The most you'd be able to do is maybe leave a bit of a knick before your body sends off every alarm bell and you stop because the pain and panic becomes too much. Even trying to go in through the intercostal space of the ribs (which would require incredible knowledge of your own anatomy) would be near impossible because of the many layers of strong muscle that would once again set off every alarm bell before you could even come close to reaching the heart. Your body is designed to not be able to do these things.

Yeah, you are right. I was not trying to link commodio with this. Both are extremely different. Though, I have been trying commodio myself, but obviously failing.
On the other hand, your method, what should I say, its just next level courage. I don't want you to try this but I am no one to stop you from doing this.
Its your decision.
I wish you peace!.

harakirri / sepuppu is muuuuuuch more effective in this case
There is a bone protecting your heart, so its almost imposible to do it by yourself

Commotio cordis is impossible to induce on yourself. It is physically impossible to reach the required amount of force with your own arms. You'd also have to miraculously reach that level of force in a specific millisecond in the cardiac cycle, something you cannot know, it is 100% chance. The most you'll end up with is a sore, bruised chest.

You are right. How do I do it, then? I am fed up, in pain and tired. I can't take it anymore.

Commotio cordis? You can't. Most you could do is start up playing a contact sport but the odds of it happening to you are next to nothing.

CTB in general? No one here can decide that for you. That's a personal decision.
