I am planning to desensitize myself progressively through SH (cuts, burns, etc.) so that my chances of leaving within half a year are significantly increased. My first plan was jumping, but I don't get access to lethal heights too often. My current backup is a femoral artery incision.

I am planning to fast a few days before the deed, so that my inner thighs would be as lean as it could get. Then, I'm going to stuff a piece of cloth in my mouth and cut the artery. I am only planning on doing it on a single leg.

Any tips regarding the actual deed and the desensitization approach necessary to go through it without freaking out?

I have debilitaring brain fog due to me/cfs, which causes my cognition to dip from above average to bedrock. Then comes the fatigue. I'm tired of this cruel sentence and am looking for ways to leave after 5 years of hope and despair since the age of 14.

Well, someone's gonna definitely link the non method page. But just hypothetically speaking, I believe the femoral artery is closest to the skin in the groin area, so it is possible to feel around the sides of the groin until you find your pulse. You can then mark that with a pen, make sure it's the right spot, and so on. Definitely get surgical scalpels if you're gonna try this.

I appreciate your decision to engage with my method instead of redirecting me. Personally, I believe that this method has more surety and control over other ones like hanging. Once again, jumping from a lethal height takes priority number one. Femoral is a backup plan, and a quite necessary one in that I don't frequently get access to lethal heights in a secluded area.

Regarding the method itself, since I live with my parents, I don't think I can get scalpels risk-free from anywhere. I was planning to use a shaving blade to gradually nick it. I don't know how much pain I'dve to endure before passing out.

How much does desensitization help? I got into SH just to increase my chances of going through the procedure. It ranges from Ice, lighter flames to dermal skinning. How effective do you think this would be in controlling my reactions at that moment? Everything has been for vain otherwise...

Unless you have something incredibly sharp and you don't mind slashing yourself multiple times in the same area .... cutting a artery takes a lot ... I would know.

I would highly recommend looking into other options

If you do a partial laceration then it will take you several minutes before you begin to pass out from hypovolemia (rapid blood loss). Even if you were to manage to completely sever it. In theory, if your preferred method of CTB is incision/cutting then severing your internal carotid artery(ies) would be your best bet if you want extreme hypovolemia to occur as fast as possible. You would need to do a 4-5 cm incision into your neck near the side of your cheekbone (you will feel your pulse there with your fingers)

You are most likely to pass out from shock within seconds if done correctly. However I can't stress it enough that even that is risky and unreliable since your brain will pretty much stop your body involuntarily.

Hope it helps.

I don't know about the desensitisation because I have (somehow) never SH'd before.

If you can't get scalpels, personally I found a good box cutter set with spare blades for £5 from B&M, which I'm keeping around just in case (but I will probably order scalpels for myself if it gets to the point where I'm considering CTB this way).

In any case, hope you find peace. 💚
