Funny question on a serious topic: what's your silliest attempt?

[Antiquated]

how did this go? what was your experience? not asking so i can try it, just curious

The electrical panel did it's job and shut-off immediately. All I felt was utter embarrassment and disappointment/disgust.

when i was a young child i tried banging my head as hard as i could on concrete, just gave me more brain damage than i already had

When I was 12, I climbed in a garbage dumpster that I knew was about to get picked up by the trash truck. I figured whatever is in the dumpster goes away forever, so that would be me. Except, it was the kind that the truck backs up to, and workers are there as the trash falls out, so they saw me inside and I had to make up a story that I was looking for a toy I thought had gotten thrown out.

Tried to drown myself in the bathtub with my then boyfriend standing there with his arms crossed. Obviously wasn't a serious attempt, as someone who cared about me was there, and who the fuck can drown in a bathtub without other factors?
But a girl throwing her head back under water again and again must've looked ridiculous.

at 15, tried to slit my wrists with a pair of scissors. not a blade or even a sharp pair of scissors but the dullest pair of scissors in the world. they were practically safety scissors. barely broke the skin and the mark was gone by the next morning.
multiple times tried to suffocate myself with a pillow, also as a teenager. i knew rationally it wouldn't work but i thought "hey let's give it a shot maybe i'll get lucky." i clearly did not lol.

When I was thirteen I came home one day from school, wrote a little note, and went into the bathroom with a pencil sharpener blade that, in hindsight, couldn't have reached anywhere near the arteries.

Of course, then, I literally thought I was going to die. I made the cut and just sat there for fifteen minutes until it stopped bleeding, and then, not knowing wtf to do, went on regularly with my day lmao.

13 reasons why makes it look way easier than it really is haha

i did this too lol it was an old rusted pencil sharpener blade that could barely make a scratch. the scar faded in about a week then my dumbass tried again. middle school

 

[sadbadpsychogirl]

how much? did you go to the hospital?

about 12 oz and absolutely nothing happened. it was weird

 

[paininme]

I took loads of weight loss tablets once basically just contain a lot of laxative

 

[maybewantodie]

I had really bad asthma before and would get asthma attacks every so often. One time I had it at night and didn't use my inhaler so I was just holding my breath and closing me eyes thinking magically I'll somehow die. I woke up fine but with bad wheezing

About 16, I tried to smother myself with a pillow. When I started I honestly didn't think it would actually work. Then I was seeing spots and thought maybe it would work after all. Shortly after I came up from the pillow gasping for air.

A grocery bag over my head lol. There was a hole in it. In all fairness I was very young

 

[riamulbs]

Tried to drink bleach but hated the taste so mixed it with Fanta fruit twist

 

[NightmareTour]

Paracetamol OD as a teenager. Or the time I got drunk and took myself to a bridge I know someone had died jumping off of a year or two before, despite having tried to jump multiple times before and knowing I can't do it.

 

[LossOfWill]

I didn't really attempt but seriously considered using a very stiff phone cord to hang myself. God i use that thing to hook up my tablet now omfg

 

[MindFrog]

I would bang my head against the wall hoping it would crack open. I was a dumb kid.

Trying to eat whole sticks of butter until it gave me a heart attack. I was only 20 when I thought to try this so it didn't give me an actual heart attack but it did give me some heartburn.

 

[Pookie]

i tried to drink nail polish remover when i was around 14/15 lmao

What were the results?

 

[zeroshark]

At 9/10, drank a bottle of Listerine because it said on the bottle to call poison control if ingested. Just made my mouth taste extra minty fresh for like 48 hours.

Still, a commendable effort. Maybe we can work on the method

 

[illbeinthegarage]

What were the results?

Sounds nasty, I'm sorry. Did it irritate your stomach lining? As in did you get stomach cramps, acid reflux etc?

nope, literally nothing happened after the initial puking fit. at least not that i know of or can remember. just the aftertaste and burn that stayed for a while

 

[balancingaqt]

Read somewhere two cherry seeds contain enough cyanide to kill. Crushed five and took it. Nothing much happened.

I totally forgot, I also tried to breath water. A few times actually. And I was 23 but I was sectioned after an attempt so ‍

 

[Marktheghost]

I held my breath and put sellotape over my mouth and nose once so that I couldn't let my breath out. Sellotape must be porous or something, I found I could still breathe a tiny bit.

 

[NeverSatisfied]

When I was 12 I tried chugging a bottle of rubbing alcohol (i was a weird kid and liked the taste and smell in the same way gasoline smells good) before a soccer game on a hotass day. Did not work, I passed out for maybe a minute on the field and started throwing up before going to the hospital. It killed my tastebuds for a week, burned and gave me an ulcer. 10/10 will not try again.

 

[CallOfTheVoid112]
