in an ideal world, is there a preferred way you would ctb?

[hopscotch]

say there was a world where every method had a 100% chance, no one could stop you, it was painless, easily accessible, etc. any particular way you'd want to do it? can be as crazy and unrealistic as possible. i know some are just in it for the death and don't really care how they go, but for me, my ideal method would be a shotgun blast to the face. i just think it would be fun.

Self immolation

 

[CantDoIt]

Snapping my fingers and I die, so easy and right at my fingertips

 

[Chemical Animal]

Simply going to sleep and never waking up again. Cerebral death and all organs stop working instantly while dreaming.

 

[EvisceratedJester]

I'd probably go with cutting. If not cutting then oding.

 

[pain6batch9]

I would be invited to a nuclear weapons test in the middle of the desert. Nobody else around. They would drive me right to the base of the support tower. There would be a deck chair and a bottle of vodka. The jeep drives away to a safe distance. After an hour of drinking. And smoking. I would lay back into the chair. Close my eyes.

Then the bomb would detonate.

 

[max_vader2]

Crashing my spacecraft against the alien mother ship. The whole world thinks I'm a hero. My kids are proud, and get a really good pension

 

[eden101]

if a little nitrogen cloud magically formed over my head - that would be nice

 

[Plato'sCaveDweller]

my ideal method would either be a gun or sarco pod.

but in this fantasy world where everything works 100%? man, that's a lot of choices. honestly, i'd probably go with drinking myself to death. alcohol is fucking great, and it's honestly kinda funny getting black out drunk and vomiting everywhere, just barely conscious. it's also incredibly good feeling too, since you're just so numb and barely aware. if i could go out like that, i'd be happy. i'd have 1 or 2 weihenstephaner vitus beers, a couple glasses of blueberry moscato wine, a couple shots of evan williams bib, and maybe a white claw to wash it all down. all that would get me proper shitfaced, and i'd die happy.

 

[JFED]

N all day long

 

[fatladysings]

I'm with platoscavedweller, I would love to drink myself to death. I used to drink an awful lot. Both my parents were alcoholics but when my mum stopped drinking back in 2001, I quit drinking too, in solidarity with her. But I loved being drunk, it made me forget about all my problems for a while. If I could be certain that I would die of alcohol poisoning, it would be a brilliant way to ctb.

Either that or N.

 

[Gstreater]

Hanging myself I would love to take a vacation and then hang myself and rope is the easiest thing to buy that doesn't make people suspicious.

Honestly, I'm glad you quit when you did. Alcohol is so destructive to the body, it's honestly the worst part about it.

I am most certainly an alcoholic, as were my parents. But I have self-control (at least for now). I don't drink more than once or twice a week, and that second time during a week is reserved for special occasions only, so not a common occurrence. I also stay under the recommended 15 drinks a week maximum recommended by the NIAAA, which I'm fortunately able to do given my low tolerance and small size. Doesn't take much for me, as you could see from the drink list i gave LOL.

But you're 100% on the money about being drunk. It honestly helps so much to just forget about everything and all the bullshit you're worried about. I always look forward to my drinking day. But if I planned on living a long time, I'd probably quit while I was ahead since alcohol damage builds up overtime.

Ideally - you book an appointment at a CTB centre. I am willing to take a short mental competency test. Then if you pass, you are placed in a casket device that is flooded with Nitrogen. Once you are dead, you are just shipped on a conveyer belt to the ovens.

Time from decision to death - less than an hour

 

[Ww42]

My ideal world is already coming true, I've ordered the SN that I need to finally die. My dream has been fulfilled. Others dream of becoming artists, celebrities, or famous sports players, my dreams are simply to be dead, and with the SN, I am about to have my one true dream fulfilled

 

[Darkover]

i would just take a pill that puts you into a deep sleep and then kills you

 

[landslide2]

shot into outer space and undress (spacesuit) while i'm out there

 

[Lady Laudanum]

Live by the opioid, die by the opioid

 

[FuneralCry]

If it's up to me I'd choose to erase my existence so it's like I never suffered at all but other than that I wish for a painless death like falling into an eternal, dreamless sleep, I wish for a death as peaceful as possible that brings me permanent relief from this painful and torturous existence that I never would have chose that just causes me to suffer so much, I only hope and wish to never exist again, for me personally death truly is the only relief.

 

[dwtsleepy123]

i think either going in my sleep or jumping. it would be nice to free fall and know that ill finally be free

 

[Hoga]

Falling from a very high cliff.

 

[lovelesslifeless]

In an ideal world I probably wouldn't want to ctb.
But if I had to choose then I'd like to peacefully die in my sleep.

 

[Gustav Hartmann]

The ideal world would be my country 400 years ago. I only have to commit a crime and will end at the gallows.

By the way, many suicidal people used this service at those times, a skilled executioner and the full pastoral care.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

Euthanasia

 

[deathsisarelief]

I don't think there's an ideal world. I wish i had never been born into this world. but i would rather dying with a peaceful way without suffering. I am not afraid of death but i have a fear of further suffering.

 

[HereTomorrow]

Easiest? Probably heart attack in my sleep.

Dream? Gun. Or SN.

Right now? Hanging. I've been reading the testimonials of those who did it and I'm settling with it. It sounds like heaven and I can't help but choose it even if there are better methods. It's been my preference since 12, might as well go with it.

You are right, it's very destructive. Even though I want to die, I want to live a reasonably healthy life until I ctb. I'm amazed that you have so much self control around alcohol with you being an alcoholic and I have to say I admire you for it. I don't know how you do that. Back in my drinking days, any time I started drinking, I found it very difficult to stop. You must be a very mentally strong person.

thank you :)

I want to maintain health until CTB as well. I figure, while I'm here, I may as well try to be comfortable. And bodily suffering can be immense. So it's best to try and avoid that if you can.

And I don't necessarily think it's mental fortitude that helps with discipline (though maybe I don't give myself enough credit, idk), but rather my fear of health problems. Alcohol is fucking terrifying in terms of effects on the body. I've also had a horrible family history with alcohol and that certainly ingrained in my mind the need to be careful with it. I'm also familiar with addiction, as I used to be extremely addicted to weed for years. So I know the patterns to look out for when things start to become a problem. I do also relate to being unable to stop drinking once I start. That is one of the main reasons why I keep it to once a week, since I almost always get blackout drunk cause I can't stop. If I was getting blackout drunk every day or every other day, fuck, I'd've probably ended up like MittenSquad (YouTuber who died from Alcohol related health issues at 27). And that's not the kind of death I want, too much suffering and too prolonged. So as a rule, I have to keep my drinking to a minimum. But I find once a week is good enough for me, as it gives me something to look forward to at the end of the week and it's a nice mental respite.

 

[Trav1989]

i would just take a pill that puts you into a deep sleep and then kills you

This would be my ideal choice as well, although to add to this the ultimate method would be to take a large dose of opiates on a beautiful winter evening with snow everywhere, a shot of my favorite whiskey, a last cigarette, and then taking such a pill where everything just slowly fades away over half an hour so I can experience a few final thoughts of back when times were simpler and I had hope for the future.

If I had known how difficult life was I would have CTB far earlier in my life but I kept having optimism that things would improve and yeah, at times they did for a short while but it was a rollercoaster with more dips than plateaus or high points.

To just have things end without suffering.

 

[Davey40210]

In an ideal scenario I would probably like to take the planet with me. The entire planet just exploding. Am I the only one (probably, usually I am the weird one, even on a suicide site)?

It will prevent further suffering for anyone but is also payback for how I feel like the world treated me.

But I will settle for what Darkover suggested :-)
