Focusing Heart instead of Brain (gun)

[spanishguy22]

First of all I feel like shit when doing these kind of things because I don't want anyone to kill themselves with any ideas I have, but I guess you can't avoid it much when being ina forum like this.

After going through the most popular methods, I've been feeling really anxious, disappointed and hopeless. Why? Because every method has a slight chance of going south and making you brain damaged in who knows what ways.

I decided for me I'm not comfortable trying any methods that might lead to brain damage without killing yourself.

The only thing I could come up with is focusing on my heart. I would need a gun, or a onebarrel weak shotgun. And then I'd shot me in the heart. I'd be benzod to the core but it would be painful indeed. But this way I know I will bleed out really quick instead of missing a gunshot to the head somehow and surviving hours and probably having shitty doctor's ruin life.

Even if my heart was not destroyed, it would be damaged enough that even if I lived my life span would shorten a lot. Although I don't want to live with that though. But better than living with heart damage than brain damage.

Thoughts? I may have missed some points to consider so please people's give me feedback I'd be grateful.

You could still suffer from brain damage doing this because of lack of oxygen to the brain, if you don't die. It could also take a long time. This is how Vincent Van Gogh died and it took him 30 hours to pass away.

Here's an article about the connection between heart failure and decline in cognitive function: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4294149/

I tried the Amitriptyline cocktail and now have some brain damage (though not severe) and cognitive decline after I went into cardiac arrest.

I don't recommend focusing on the heart, as it will be very painful and you will likely suffer a lot before you die (assuming you aren't saved beforehand). Generally the brain is the preferred way to go because once you stop the brainstem, it's about guaranteed death. As far as using a weak weapon, I don't recommend that as it will likely result in failure. Therefore, I would recommend using a better shotgun (12 gauge shotgun with 00 buckshot) for added insurance.
