Help Gun help Because ChatGPT is on to me.

[waiting2exhale_]

I can't tell you how many times in a day I think about CTB. I just walked myself down to the lake. I know I can't swim. I tried to drink something. I just know I can't swim and I can't do that. I am looking for quick and fast and have given up painless. I messed up my life and I am confident no one around me can help. I keep messing up others lives and I just want it to stop. I have a gun I bought some years ago. I only when yo the shooting range once, and shot it probably one more time. I am not sure about where to aim. But I want to be sure I am gone. It's a Springfield hellcat. I imagine I only get one shot. I want to do it in the dead of the night. I plan to drive my car somewhere and pull the trigger. I have extreme social anxiety and can't stand talking to anyone. I have told people I want to kill myself so no one should see it as a surprise. I live with my boyfriend but I'm not going to put him through this. I would love a gun expert to talk to me and let me know where I can aim. Again, other options have been considered. I don't have money for SN nor the means to acquire it. I can't hang myself there's no place to do it, partial or full suspension. If anyone is up. I live in the United States and I can't want to log out now.

Sorry for your pain bro. Gun is actually one method I have been considering. I've also got a 9mm. I read people that don't live in places like where I'm at in TX wish they had our kind of access to guns, but like all methods a gun has several major downsides. Ideally you'll want to hit your brainstem. That is the quickest way out. Most people I have read have tried to accomplish this by going through the roof of the mouth and pointing up towards the brain. I don't know that I would personally choose this position as I personally feel that if you don't aim correctly you could just disfigure yourself horribly. My plan would be shoot just behind and a little above the ear. I choose that position thinking that I would have more control and it would be effected to go through both hemispheres of the brain. I have often thought about using my gun to end it, but I do worry about being saved or ending up disabled, but honestly I think a shot where I mentioned would more than likely do the job. I also thought taking a handful of acetaminophen 20 minutes before would be a way to thin the blood, increasing the rate I would bleed out. It's considerate of you not to do it where anyone you love has to find the mess. That has been a main reason for me not to do this method. Seeing me with a gun shot to the head or even the mess left behind would be traumatizing.

I wish you peace in journey.

Ideally you'll want to hit your brainstem. That is the quickest way out. Most people I have read have tried to accomplish this by going through the roof of the mouth and pointing up towards the brain.

Actually, going through the roof of the mouth provides "access" to the Amygdala, a very vital component of the brain and vital to life, but it's not the brainstem, itself. The brainstem is deeper within the brain and consists of three parts - the Midbrain, Pons, and Medulla Oblongata. You'd be hard-pressed to take it out with a single bullet from any handgun, but the Amygdala is doable. Ofc, using a shotgun with buckshot increases the odds of hitting it. Just a FWIW.

Thanks for adding the diagram along with some solid intel. Good to know. I am by no means any sort of expert on GSW. I only put out what I imagine which I could do if taking that method.

Do you need instructions to use a gun?

Not rlly but it would help to watch a YouTube video or two to familiarize yourself and revolvers are super simple to use that's what I got

They are simple, yes, even children know how to use them.

Was that sarcasm I couldn't tell lol

No, it's not sarcasm, it's the truth. There are plenty of reports of minors stealing their parents' guns and committing suicide without even knowing which end the bullet goes in. This demonstrates the formidable practicality of the method.

I've wondered for a while, (correct me if I'm wrong) I heard part of the brainstem is kinda near the back of the head next to the beginning of your spine, near the little dent that connects your head to your neck before it rounds out and up (maybe a bit higher than that if referencing locker's image). Would it be possible to hold or rig up a gun somehow so that you could shoot that spot? Basically CBT-ing from behind? And if you could, would that work? Using a gun would probably be my second choice besides SN or a strong opioid like fentanyl, but I'd want to be sure if I did that would result in immediate unconsciousness prior to death if possible.

Yeah I never quite understood why people are very picky about the gun method and ensuring success beyond "don't point it under your chin"

Simply because they don't have access. It's not that easy to get a gun. People's preferred methods are those that are accessible. An old proverb says that when the fox can't reach the grapes, he's calling them sour. Therefore, firearms detractors cling to case reports basically exceptional cases or isolated incidents to justify their aversion to the method.

I wish people like us could get F or N, not the people who didnt want to die

 

[Pale_Rider]

I'm just curious how gpt got onto you, and how do you know?

I only ever quizzed gpt once about suicide. That was after one AI had made the news after suggesting suicide, and telling the person not to tell their family. Pretty mellow. It did its best to explain that couldn't happen again.

 

[ChamberOfEchoes]

Most people who die from gunshot wounds to the head don't even graze the brainstem. They die from extensive neurological shock, or from uncontrollable hemorrhage, massive destruction of the hemispheres, of the thalamus alone, cerebral herniation, etc. I don't understand this obsession with the brainstem, which, by the way, is a rare occurrence in head injuries and is not a determining factor in immediate loss of consciousness and death.

Acetaminophen is not a blood thinner just so you know

Do you need instructions to use a gun?

It was not simple for me to learn. Some people have learning disabilities, learning anxiety, memory, & concentration problems which affects how they learn about literally anything new. There are a lot of factors to learn and remember for someone with no experience. Some of it gets easier once you know what you're doing, but I would say that you do need instructions. There are different types of bullets for each gun and using the wrong kind could cause the gun itself to explode.

Also, if you don't remember the safety rules including where to point and how to hold the gun when it is loaded but not pointed at the target yet, you could risk accidentally shooting yourself at a point in time where you were definitely not intending to and this could cause lots of additional problems.

Not sure what you were looking on ChatGPT for, but tell it you're interested in suicide prevention. I asked for most common location when using a gun. Temple means anywhere on side of head.

The typical entrance site in firearm suicides to the head are: the right temple (about 67%), followed by the mouth (16%), forehead (7%), left temple (6%), submental (2%), and parietal region (1%) [1]. Suicide by gunshot with nasal entry have been described rarely in literature
