I read an interview of a guy who got shot in the head with a shotgun by a hitman and survived, who said it was very painful. So maybe not always.
I think those ratings scales refer to an assumption that you do die. Ie the pain you might feel on the way. Apart from the reliability score, which indicates how likely it is you will die.
I got the feeling they were pro life too. I went on there before I ever found this site which was more of a natural fit for me!
Same. When we are searching dark topics on google it comes up. Im sure they mean well but i got the feeling that they were trying to scare people out of ctb. This may help some people but what we really want is balanced info. We know that some methods are painful, unreliable or harmful to people near by. But some also have a more peaceful reliable safe exit and we need to know what they are too.
Yeah I think I should give the site some credit since it was the first suicide site I found and that was 8 years ago and it was far easier to find it showed up on google just by searching about suicide this site doesn´t this site is way harder to find the only reason I found SS was because someone shared a thread about it in another forum.
Yeah I remember when I planned to take my life at 18-19 I used this site and was very intrigued by the drop hanging the site talks about and I even calculated weight and height from drop, looking at the hanging section on lostallhope I think he should have added partial hanging because I never knew about that method back then only the more violent forms of hanging like full suspension and drop hanging.
Same here like people think it´s so tragic when young people die let´s use Zyzz as an example who died around the age of 21 years old he lived more in his life than most will do in a lifetime yet they will judge him; granted he didn´t die from suicide but heart failure but it still implies to suicidal people like I had an amazing childhood and fun and exciting teenage years so why go on for decades more just to exist? Somehow people are just so pro-life that they think people have to stay alive no matter what no matter how much they suffer because "things get better".
I think a lot of people believe they are above animal behavior, but it will come out given then right circumstances. Even I tear up at goodbye threads here even though I didn't know the person, I appreciate their inputs and respect their choices. I wish there were matrix like floppy disks for it to be mapped out on (if the person consents). But that isn't so and it'd only be a ghost in the machine.
I know it's off topic but if you want to be remembered well you should die young. Doesn't even matter if you would have become the biggest fuck up on planet Earth, people only see some abstract wasted potential that died with you. As soon as you're past the age of 'developmental potential' let's say, maybe around 30, 35, people will treat you like shit and will give you no leeway anymore.
Elsewhere on that site, yes, but not on the page cited in this thread.

I agree I have even written about that before how I wish I would have died a teenager back when I had style, personality and was young now at almost 26 I am just another adult who killed himself and that isn´t as tragic.
Meh 26 is still way better than 36 or 46. Having children also makes it more tragic or being someone important. Basically the more power or potential for power you have the more 'tragic' your death will be percieved.
