After years of thinking about it, I'm close to the point of needing to ctb. But after looking at the options, it's really tough!!

What are your reasons for choosing a method. Just trying to read and understand some of these options sends me intodeep depression which is why I want to Ctb in the first place. Jumping seems to be the only low effort and high success rate option for me but I don't know if I can do it.

I also see more people here who have debilitating illnesses and ctb is a better option than continuing, any other depression or anxiety people feel guilty that they're generally able bodied and it's the mental side you (I) can't handle??

Thanks for reading

Picking a method is very much a personal affair. You should do plenty of research and reflect alot on if it's even a route you're willing or ready to take.

I'm mostly able bodied as well. But I do suffer from some mental issues as well as just generally being shit on my whole life. Ultimately there is no specific guidelines or rules one has to follow to make the decision.

I've suffered with depression and anxiety for more than 30 years, have multiple suicide attempts, numerous "happy house" visits, and not a damn thing to show for it.

I have chosen the CO method, or the hanging method. I have been set on those for years, and find no reason to change my options. If the CO fails, it's on to partial hanging(haven't decided on full or partial hanging yet).

i just find it hard that the route i want to take is really difficult and terrifying. my anxiety is so bad that i struggle to decide on what to eat let alone whether suffering a bad hangover like feeling or getting the right anti emetic is something i can deal with. my preference for quick means jumping or shooting and jumping is the only option i can see.

thank you for replying

i believe the method has to attract you to it. guns attract me because of the instantaneous results they have given.

I do feel that guilt because I am able bodied for the most part. Its my brain that is definitely the issue of it all. I understand and relate to that feeling deeply. I spent the last seven years trying to push that mental conditions ie illness could be the invisible debilitating condition, but its almost impossible to our general society structure that the brain can betray you, but you look or I look and act as normal as possible.

Why a method? Why the method choosen?

I used to have an internal or external trigger and try to ride the adrenaline / impulse drive to CTB. So basically off the seat of my pants. It never worked because of my sheer self preservation was conditioned strongly by parental sociological influence. Example: I tried CTT (catching the train) on a very bad mental episode and I froze in place like my feet were welded to the ground. I had plenty of time to CTT. No issues with it (no way to "fail"), but I've struggled with CTB for years....couldn't ever push past the natural instinct. I feel that I'm a coward, honestly.

A method that has no harm to others except the coroners, morgues and I don't care if my relative has to identify. He's on my shit list. I just don't want my CTB to be dangerous to others because its my choice, not theirs.

A method that has hardly any gore and definitely no pain if possible (asking alot). I'm trying to find the method that allows me to slip out without me knowing persey, and doesn't hurt long or hurt at all.

I'm also if I'm brutally honest....

Still hanging on to some falsehood of hope that my life will somehow miraculously change and I can continue the shit show because I have FOMO (fear of missing out). Whenever I'm trying to attempt to CTB, the stupidest shit pops up, no joke, "we won't see the last of season 4 Rick and Morty..."

Dumb.

I guess on my last attempt (not last night, but a month ago), I had found that inner will power to not give a shit about anything, but the method failed. The method I highly do not recommend unless you know what you're doing and that's hypothermia.

I didn't do it right and it is a long arduous process. No damage acquired.

I've been a fan of jumping, but I'm no longer in WA with 300ft skyscrapers. Accuracy is my concern as well.

Whatever you choose to do, we support you either way ((hug)) whether CTB or not. I feel mental conditions are mistreated or misunderstood???? We may look normal, but my functioning is a hard ratio that I don't get to choose.

My thoughts are with you. <3 <3 <3

i'm near maryland area and i need to find places to jump.
i wish i could get gun but i can't pass background
can anyone help me find ways to ctb

i'm in the UK, i'm sorry you're in the difficult place you are right now. still figuring this out myself but the resources area of suicide discussion details everything. there is a lot of info that i am struggling with and as other posters have mentioned, you have to do the research and be comfortable with your choice.

i wish you peace [hug emoji here]

I suffer from psychosis, anxiety depression, insomnia & constant tinnitus. They all play a part in wanting ctb as well as situation / circumstances. I don't feel guilty for being able bodied just because people can't see mental health issues doesn't make them any less important than a physical ailment. Plus I think mind and body are one so if one is not functioning correctly neither does the other.

I am brand new here, came here from a Reddit discussion, suggested by a poster who saw that I am speaking about suicide rationally, without dramatics or attention-seeking behavior. I'm just demanding my right to exit on my terms, see no reason for my death to be delayed arbitrarily for another 40+ years, and so I was looking for places like this where I can learn and talk. I've been lurking for a few days now, reading, and have settled for now on the SN method. I've already ordered the SN. Before I learned of this. My plan was a shot to my heart...I have a handgun sitting right over there in the house, it's been there for years, I was just having trouble gathering the fortitude. I don't think I can shoot myself in the head...and while I know that the heart shot can also fail, I've read many cases of people using it successfully, and so it seems to be the most violent method that I can actually consider tolerating. I just can't bring myself to put a gun in my mouth.

thank you for sharing, the irony of me wanting a gun and you having one and choosing SN :/

Yes, unfortunate. I pick up that gun every day...knowing all it would take is just one swift action. Overcoming that fear is not easy. I'm pretty resolute about ending it...it's been constant in my mind now for months, and on and off for over a year, maybe two. There's just no other way out of my life. It can really only go downhill. I'm relatively happy now, so now is the optimal time. I got a terrible scare the other day...my phone rang and my dad interrupted my work, which is rare...he said to call him back when I got a moment. I was so afraid another death in the family would force me out of my comfort zone of isolation. Having to travel or having to attend a funeral or host family members from afar. For about 30 minutes, I was sure I'd waited too long.

I feel the same, just not sure what could possibly happen to make everything ok. Interesting what you say about being in an ok place and then getting it done rather than when you're really down

Please do read the resource guide (if you haven't already) about using the gun. I don't have access but if I did and hadn't read the guide I could have really messed it up

Will do. I've read a bit already, but I need to focus the reading, because when you read too much, you get information overload, then can't remember any of it haha. In general, I dislike guns very much, and I don't even like to hold them. I've shot guns, and I've always remembered the experience as feeling violent. It feels like being punched...just shooting is feels that way. And guns give off a "mean" feel, if that makes sense. Like it knows how dangerous it is. I know that's silly human emotion, but it's how I see it.

One of the things that really got my attention that i hadn't thought of is the recoil factor. I have to account for that, because with a weak grip, the recoil could cause the bullet to go seriously off course and just do serious damage, no death, and then a hell of a lot of explaining...and then it would change almost everything about my life, all negative things.

I think it's more rational to choose this option when you're in an okay place in your mind, that way it's not a mistake (although, really, what difference does that make?). I first got this idea from a film called "Night, Mother" starring Sissy Spacek...she makes a rational decision to end her life and spends the final evening trying to get her mother to understand. She arrived at her decision through rational thought...and waited until she felt pretty good about things before doing it. That made the most sense to me.

My plan since I was 14 was to jump off a bridge. It's instant (hopefully) and there's no mess for my family to find. And it's free. Plus water has always been soothing to me so instead of being scared and activating my SI, I'd be at peace.

It would have to be a very high bridge...there are cases of people jumping from the San Francisco Bridge and surviving. I'm terrified of large bodies of water, so this would not be peaceful for me at all. It would be terrifying for me. My greatest fear would be that the fall wouldn't kill me OR knock me out...and then I'd be trapped in a large body of water with almost any kind of sea wildlife swimming near me. Ugh. Even thinking about that makes my anxiety go up.

I'm a heavy gal so I'm not too worried about surviving the fall from one of the many y'all bridges in my area. I'm sorry water isn't peaceful for you.
