Hello guys i created this account so i could talk to some likeminded people in my last few days. I already picked a date and a ctb method. With this post i just wanted to introduce myself.
I got nothing else to say right now
Six days to my death on the seventh let me be (anyone catch the reference?)

Welcome to the site. You will find lots of information here, and you will also find support of other kinds if/when you need it.
Why do you plan to ctb, and what method are you planning to use?

Hello, sorry that your life has brought to here but it is nice to get to know you nonetheless.
If you have any questions feel free to ask or use the search function, it is quite useful. Do you want to talk about your motives or your method?

You will find a lot of posts here that outline various reasons for cutting not being a reliable method. I hope you take some time to research the resources available to you here to make informed decisions

If you plan to use that method then you need to read up on it carefully. It's much harder to die by cutting your wrists than most people think. If you don't know what you are doing, you will probably fail, and you might lose the use of your hand too. There is a lot of information on this site, and I suggest you read some of it. (Use the search function. You might not be able to use it immediately, since you are a new user, but you soon will be able too.)
How long have you felt that you want to ctb?

I've been depressed for a while now with occasional ctb thoughts but theyve gotten way more frequent and serious recently since i realized im most likely going to fail this school year. Cutting really isnt my preferred method but i have no access to drugs or firearms so it'll have to suffice

Obviously, you're free to do as you like, but slitting your wrists has amongst the lowest likelihoods of success, as far as dying is concerned. I hope you take the time to read up on it and find out why it isn't a good way. Good luck and peace to you.

In another thread I have compiled some information I have gathered about the method, sorry if I am just spewing this here unasked. Cutting the wrists can be a viable method, though as others have pointed out it has a low success rate (I had about 6% in mind). I believe this comes from the high susceptibility to errors meaning you can do many things wrong and because the body is rather efficient in clotting wounds shut. But if done right you can pass out within minutes. Here is what I know about this method. Please note that I am no expert and I might be wrong on some points:

• Do NOT cut your wrists like they show it in the movies (parallel to hand). You will survive this. If you go through with this method then cut in the direction away from your hand (parallel to the bones).
  
  
• Look where on the wrist you can feel your pulse, that is the radial artery (picture) https://www.mdpi.com/jcm/jcm-08-01727/article_deploy/html/images/jcm-08-01727-g001.png. You want to cut through that and upwards. Note how it does not go through the middle of the arm but rather the side. I've seen a reddit post some time ago where someone survived with a massive slit (he attached a photo) because he cut the middle of the arm and missed both, the radial artery and the ulnar vein.
  
  
• The sharper the tool, the better. Razor blades or even scalpels should work best. Though, Avicii also managed to kill himself using glass shards. But I guess you must really be determined to go through with it.
  
  
• Aspirin can be bought in any pharmacy. It is a blood thinner and makes your blood flow more easily through your body. This could cause a heavier bleeding.
  
  
• Getting your heart rate up after cutting by jogging on the spot etc. increases the bleeding and time to faint.
  
  
• Movies display people cutting their wrists in the bathtub. There might be some truth to it, the bathtub has 4 benefits:
  - warm / hot water increases your blood flow so you bleed out faster.
  - warm / hot water makes your blood clot slower (or so I have read somewhere).
  - while bleeding out you might feel cold so warm water is more comfortable.
  - no mess to clean up.
  But of course, cutting can be performed anywhere.
  
  
• Downsides:
  - It could be that cutting is extremely painful. Perhaps you could numb the pain a bit using ice packs beforehand?
  - You can accidentally cut your tendons in your arm that control your fingers so if you happen to survive, it could be that your hands won't be fully functional anymore.
  - If you do just one thing wrong you are much more likely to survive. Cutting is not as easy and safe as jumping from a building for example.
  - Death is not immediate and may take a while after you fell unconscious, depending on how heavy you bleed so make sure nobody will find you within the next hour or two.

I wish you the best in your plans and I hope that when the time is right you find the freedom you search for.

Hi, and I am sorry you are struggling. I do not know your situation and forgive me for presuming anything, but please do not make your decision based on thinking your parents would rather have you not around then failing school. Again I do not know your relationship with your folks, but if it is relatively "normal or generally typical, then they would probably rather have you here. Have you spoken to them about how you've been feeling, or spoken to anyone about what's going on? Could what you have been feeling more recently be related to the added stress of school. Do you have the option of taking a break from school and maybe focusing on you? Once done correctly, this is a decision we cannot take back. Again I do not mean to overstep here and wish you peace.

Yes im seeing a therapist every 2 weeks but i havent talked to my parents about how i actually feel. All my life ive been a failure and even though my parents havent said that to me directly im sure that thats how they feel. I cant help but dissapoint everyone. They have lowered their expectations for me to a degree where they are happy when i a C or a D (3 and 4 where i live) in school. I don't have any talents and i lost all my passions so i feel like theres no point in living on for me

I think you should get through the school year before you do anything. In the meantime, do what you can to reduce the chance that you will fail.
If, by some miracle, you don't fail, you will be in a much better situation.
If you do fail, then it will be time to consider your next move. That move might be a decision to ctb or it might not. I don't know yet. But you shouldn't be deciding now to ctb. It would be premature.
