I am a 59-year-old man who has been living with chronic and extensive burn injuries for several years. These injuries have coincided with other adversities that have made my quality of life very poor despite my efforts to overcome these difficulties and find reasons for going on. After years of researching and planning different exit strategies, I am considering use of the plastic bag method and or potassium nitrite. Can anyone provide information about the pros, cons, and effectiveness of these methods. I am new to this site and am glad I found an online forum, where people facing this predicament understand and support each other. It is my understanding of the rules and info that it is okay to ask this kind of question.

Perhaps I'll be important when I'm long gone?

If by plastic bag you mean just plain suffocating yourself by putting a bag over your head and sealing it...that's going to feel pretty terrible and it will be hard not to tear the bag off or tear holes in it due to survival instincts. Really hard to see that through and unpleasant.

Hello and welcome

Funnily enough, my great grandfather CTBd this way after his wife passed away, it definitely works (it's as long ago though, so concentration was definitely high). I know he taped it over his head.

Regardless, do you have access to any medication prescriptions? I think there may be easier and less painful methods for exit similar to the one you proposed

If I had access to barbiturates and other strong prescription meds to be sedated and so on would be my ideal method. But I do not.
It could be interesting for you:

Sorry for your injuries:-( I'm also here because of injuries (from an illness)...
Thank you so much for saying so! I have been shocked by how few people say that when they hear my story, including those "close" to me.
