How much table salt would it take to kill me? I tried and failed.

[HyperEclipse]

Earlier this year I tried the table salt poisoning method. I didn't measure so I'm not sure how much took, but it was well over a safe amount. I think it almost worked because I woke up in the middle of the night with an unregulated heartbeat and muscle weakness/ shortness of breath. But I survived. My body took out the trash. I've made a few other attempts since the with other methods, but the salt one worked the best and wasn't violent. So I was wondering what went wrong. Is this even a reliable method?

Do you need a SN source? Also sorry that happened to you :(

Table salt would just dehydrate you I think

I dont know much about the method but I dont think its rlly reliable… If it were it would be a much bigger factor on here and in suicide statistics bc its so easy 2 obtain. Ofc u can die of an OD, u can die of ODing on prett much anything even water, but I dont think its rlly that reliable and u would need to eat a lot.

Table salt can dehydrate you. But it can also throw off the balance of potassium in your blood, which can in theory put you in cardiac arrest. And that's what they also told me when I was inevitably taken to the hospital. But I wonder if it would take more salt than I could really ingest. Not because of taste or anything, but because my body might reject it before it finds its way into my blood.

I've heard that the SN method is popular but I really don't know much about it. I briefly looked around the internet for it and noticed it was expensive and a little hard to find a good source.

This would basically dehydrate you. Dying from dehydration is a horrible way to go. Also the success rate would be low because your body is already built to remove salt sk you are likely to survive and increase risk of kidney problems.

My kidneys did hurt for a couple weeks after and the hospital said they found trace amounts of blood in my urine sample but it wasn't enough to worry about.

This would only be true if the sodium ions actually are taken in and incorporated into the nervous system
There's a few threads on the SN method its much more effective. Due to recent events SN has become difficult to obtain so I'll be looking into synthesis of SN but it will take some time before I can give a proper method
If I'm not mistaken SN reconfigures your blood haemoglobin into a form that cannot bind with oxygen. The cause of death therefore is obvious but it also makes your blood blue which is cool imo

This reminds me of my friend who gave himself pancreatitis by eating sugar, as a self-harm method. He had to be rushed to hospital.

Dang. What was he trying to achieve? You mentioned it was a self harm method, not an attempt to ctb. Was he trying to feel sick?

We were both in a psychiatric ward, so I think he wanted to prove that he wasn't being cared for/receiving help. They had removed all obvious self-harm methods, but he was still able to eat so much sugar (left out for making coffee) while staff were around that he needed medical attention. It showed that they weren't really paying attention.

I don't think this would be a realistic method unless you already have some underlying health issues. I used to eat salt to make myself throw up while suffering with an eating disorder, even built up a tolerance so I had to keep eating more and more. I think in most circumstances your body will just reject it before you can cause yourself any lasting harm. This is 100% speculation so I would advise against trying it, but I wonder if eating a large amount of salt over the course of a few days would have a better chance? Although then you'd definitely be suffering from dehydration so...

That makes more sense now. Yes, there are many loop holes in the system at a psych ward. I certainly used those loop holes. I considered trying the salt thing again because they just left the salt packets out, but decided it wasn't worth it. But I used other self harm methods. You can easily gather tools and stash them away in your room. I had a couple of them taken from me, but still had a handful of them that I threw out when they let me leave. Psych wards are really just holding facilities anyway. They aren't proper treatment in my opinion. But just thinking about that for a moment… he must've been at it for a while. He had to have eaten a ton of sugar packets. I guess they really were't paying attention.

you need to stop and reasses immediately. you are going to end up in serious pain but still alive.

please go read the ppeh front to back and try to get a more fact based understanding of methods

 

[spøgelse]

it wont kill ya itll just make u very very sick its possible but hard because you cant predict how youll metabolisse it i tried as well and all i got was sick forraday

 

[usernamenoideas]

This method is unfortunately not reliable

theres a method called suicide with soy sauce . you could try that. eat only soy sauce for 2-4 days and it will kill you (recommending this because you tried the salt method and you probably tried everything else)

Some companies sell sodium cloride tablets as a supplement I imagine that would be more palatable than just table salt itself.

probably isn't any more reliable than table salt. I already thought about it. Turns out you can get a higher salt intake from dissolving it in water than from soy sauce. The only reason the soy sauce method could work is because it's loaded with salt. So it's really the same thing, just the soy sauce is already mixed together and might taste better. Actually, I haven't tried everything else. I've made 4 attempts so far and there's probably more methods than that out there. The question is which ones do I find suitable and like something I could actually go through with.

Maybe, maybe not. But believe it or not I didn't find the salt that hard to get down. I've definitely tasted worse. A lot of people would probably find it too unpleasant but I didn't. And weirdly enough, ever since then I get mad salt cravings and I used to rarely salt my food. And I don't mean I just want a little salt, like I want it really salty. Also, never heard of sodium chloride tablets
