  • Hey Guest,

    Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.

    This is a clear and unprecedented overreach by a foreign regulator against a U.S.-based platform. We reject this interference and will be defending the site’s existence and mission.

    In addition to our public response, we are currently seeking legal representation to ensure the best possible defense in this matter. If you are a lawyer or know of one who may be able to assist, please contact us at [email protected].

ive been researching this method for a few weeks and it seems to be very unpopular/unsuccessful for the following reasons:

1. the pain of getting through enough tissue to actually damage an artery or major vein
2. requires decent amount of anatomy knowledge
3. blood clotting prematurely
4. possibility of being discovered as its a relatively slow method

with that in mind, none of these things are a problem for me; pain is a non issue as i have experience with self harm so i'm also aware of exactly where my arteries are and im 100% certain i can damage the brachial and/or radial artery. blood clotting is also not an issue because im aware of multiple ways to thin blood and prevent clotting, and being discovered is unlikely as everyone in my home would be absent at the time.
so, considering the above information, how reliable would ctb this way be for me?

In the U.S. statistically cutting works in less than 2% of cases- still some worked. If you can get an artery to be gushing out blood you could be one of the ones for whom it works. The brachial artery is much closer to the heart so it seems much more likely to pump out blood faster. No one can really estimate the % chance of success though for you, just keep in mind that cutting and pills are the two least likely methods to work with success rates under 2% in the u.s. I hope you can find peace somehow. I don't think the blood clotting medications would be a factor, though, because I think that it will probably only work if you are gushing out blood so fast that clotting has no chance- I could be wrong, though, but for people who bleed to death you usually hear of them bleeding out in a couple of minutes, where an injury completely severs a major artery- or close to it. Maybe you can get there with slower bleeding but I'd be skeptical of that.

Another reason why I'd avoid it is consider the ramifications if you don't die / are discovered. You might damage the nerves, and in that case you may live with having difficulty moving your wrist, fingers, or forearm. It's a way to disable yourself and a way to scar yourself, but not a way I'd want to CTB.

You really have to know anatomy very well to avoid this, though I would avoid the wrist area no matter what.

Those who failed this method maybe not as brutal and knowledgeable.Only you know if it can be done or not.Only thing to consider is the irreversible damage it caused
