  • 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.

It seems that one factor the PPeH and most method megathreads here overlook is the lasting effects. As in, if you get caught or otherwise fail, which methods will leave you with permanent damage to your body or brain, and which are safer? Obviously when you're discussing suicide methods there is no truly "safe" option, but imo there should be a thread discussing this as I have seen multiple people asking this same question over the past few weeks. I'm willing to collect info from other threads and draft a post but I'm wondering if I am missing some definitive thread that already exists. Thoughts?

I've basically just heard N and SN although I haven't done too much searching. I'd like more detail though, on both the "safer" methods and the more dangerous ones. Like, how fast would you have to be found to recover completely? What damage would you sustain specifically? etc etc etc

is SN really that free of long term damages?

Supposedly if you get medical attention within an hour or two, then doctors will give you something to raise the oxygen levels in your blood again and most people walk away without any brain damage or anything. Apparently most people on SS who fail an SN attempt seem to be fine. But I'd like to fact check this more because it seems sussy that your brain could survive such a low level of oxygen and recover 100%. This is why we need a megathread...

Any method can have secondary damage if it survives. You can check
the method collection thread for more information.

I am going to risk saying: the best methods are partial suspension, shooting, vacuum jumping, decapitation, SN and nembutal

The worst are cut veins, pill overdose, electrocution, and drowning in water.

I feel like decapitation would have some lasting effects. Such as not having a head.

I can tell you right now that you will not get a definitive answer to this. It's been disputed here multiple times, at great length. I suggest you do a search and read the previous threads. Some people think because they've never found out about anyone surviving in a damaged state, then that means that it has never happened. However, if you google and read a bunch of case studies, you will see that the doctors who treat the people are not making this same assumption. [The assumption being that there is some kind of bright line between surviving undamaged and dying and that these are the only two possible outcomes.]

Having said that, I am muting this thread because I do not care to argue.

It hurts a lot but it's almost instant death. It is a myth that your head is still alive after 30 seconds. Consciousness lasts 2 to 5 seconds maximum. Formerly, when the head fell to the ground, the executioner picked it up and made him see his severed body.
Beheading itself is a very cumbersome and rigorous method.

jump from a tall building

Beheading yourself requires a device elaborate enough to automatically decapitate you. Is not easy. It requires knowing certain knowledge of construction or electronics to make the guillotine.

You can read hanging texts or mini books, pinned in this thread to get tips

I feel like with any suspension if something goes wrong you may end up with brain damage.

What if you don't get medical attention though? What will happen then? I'm asking because my plan involves blocking myself from the opportunity to get help, as I'm scared that once I start feeling the scary side effects I'll end up going to the hospital and then getting put in a psych ward, which would absolutely be my worst nightmare.

Most people that don't receive any medical intervention, pass away. I feel like in most survival cases, being found or calling for help is really the only reason for the survival.

Ok thanks. So if I make it so that I absolutely cannot get medical help, I'll be fine? I won't become disabled?
