Yes, I included that because a lot of bad people are not cowards, losers or weaklings and this thread partially serves to counter what those pro life people say about people committing suicide.

Those people who say CTBing is for cowards, losers, weaklings or whatever need to get the fuck out of here.

I'll start with

- Cleopatra.
- Mark Antony.

I didn't know about Cleopatra! & thanks for starting this thread! & fuck yes to your first statement! it actually takes balls to kill yourself...looking death & dying in the face is not for the weak!

Yeah, Elliot Smith was so sad. Didn't he stab himself?

 

[gingerplum]

Yes. In the chest. The man fatally drove a knife between his ribs and into his heart. Pretty incredible.

 

[TheCrow]

Wow. I've always kind of admired his ability to do that. And found it to be a beautiful, poetic sort of death in theory—though that must've been an actual mess.

I was going to do this one time, I lay with my 12 inch cooks knife pressed to my chest for over an hour.

I can only imagine what was going through your mind during that hour. I'm sorry.

Yeah I've tried a few different things, if this place had been about when I was younger then I wouldn't be typing this now.

1. Lorazepam OD
2. Diazepam OD + bottle of vodka
3. Full suspension
4. Lame wrist cutting attempt
5. Gassing by stove
6. Jump from bridge/couldn't do it
7. Knife through chest

That's all I can remember, and still never been in a Psych ward.
