Discussion Intentional fainting/losing consciousness

[Life sucks]

Hi,
I have some questions about losing consciousness (Not as a method)

What are some ways to intentionally lose consciousness?

Can losing consciousness be fatal by itself?

Do you feel about the world and pain if you lose consciousness? Because in many methods you lose consciousness and don't know what happens so I guess losing consciousness can be a factor to ensure success

I think inhaling inert gas (like from a balloon) can knock you down, but I'm not sure. Be careful if you try, you might wanna sit down, unless you want to get a concussion.

Poor eating habits + half a sleeping pill have caused me to wake up laying on the bathroom floor and with a bruised hip. Apparently I blacked out, hit my hip on the toilet and took a nap on the floor for a while.

I wish I could buy sleeping pills, but they don't let you buy it unless it is recommended by a medic. The ones I had I got from an aunt. :(

Oh, I didn't think about anything. I have no memories between the time I lost consciousness and the time I woke up. Nothing. It wasn't like sleeping, it was like... nothing, really.

I can sometimes make myself pass out if I hold my breath and push after sitting for a long time. Idk if it would be a method for suicide though
