just to preface this, i know it's unreliable and i'm most likely to survive, cutting is still my go to method. i can't really imagine doing anything else, i find the idea of N or SN more disturbing than anything, especially considering i'd have to rely on an external supplier i know nothing about. i've thought about OD with H, i'd even be able to get some relatively easily through friends, but i wouldn't wanna bother them with the idea that they could have prevented it. apart from that it's not a real ctb method either, just like cutting, and it just seems like too much of a dosage gamble.
i've cut into arteries before and i didn't particularly mind the pain, though i know i'll have to cut multiple major ones to have any chance. i'm waiting until i've lost 8kg more anyways, which will probably still take until winter, since i'm not a proper anorexic, but that might help my chances too. i'll probably take some blood thinners (even if the over the counter ones practically make no difference, but i'll see about that), apart from that, is there anything i can do to increase my chances of actually ctb?

Cutting is one of the most unreliable methods. If you fail, everybody can see the scars for the rest of your life and knows what you have done.
And if you do not have anatomical knowledge, there is a risk of permanent injury to tendons and nerves.

i already have quite a lot of visible scars, some even look like i tried to ctb already so it makes no difference. neither does the idea of causing permanent damage to my body scare me, i'm quite apathetic when it comes to such things. i don't like trying new things in any way and especially not when it comes to something as serious as ctb.

Ok, if you don't care about not being able to grip or write when you injure tendons and nerves in your hand....your decision.

Yes, inform yourself thoroughly.
inform me then, so far you haven't actually made any points that i've not mention already. with all your superior medical knowledge i'm sure you must have at least a few things to say that i haven't heard before. if you get a kick out of being the ctb expert, enlighten me. unless of course, you just want to sell something.

he did!...
cutting will in about 94 out of 100 times not kill you but you might get some permanent damage to ensure that your life get even more shitty
he also told you by showing the stats that if you go for your throat its 50/50
and see the time and agony part

he did in fact not state any information that wasn't obvious before. the agony part isn't particularly dissuading, neither is the permanent damage, these are all things i have considered. unless you have a really good alternative method i find the fact that you're trying to convince me of doing something else ridiculous especially when i've stated multiple times that i'm already aware of all the negatives. it's not like it would bother you if i don't succeed and end up with permanent damage.
also, isn't trusting people that they make a decision that's right for them a big deal on here, since otherwise you'd have to close this forum and make sure everyone goes to therapy, because that's the option accepted by the masses and experts? if you have something actually helpful to say that isn't just the facts EVERYONE is aware of i'm open to changing my mind on the method, but so far this has been nothing but a reiteration of what i have prefaced i'm already aware of in my very first post.

If you wanted to die by cutting, you'd need to hit a major artery, and that means some serious butchery. Cutting the wrists is painful, and not very effective. If you're discovered, the bleeding is easily stopped, and you'll be on your way to a stay in a psychiatric hospital.

Do no do this.
