Discussion new suicide plan guys- sedatives in cold water body

[exhaustedanonymous]

whatda think?
i have a lot of seroquel and insomnia medication and shit so what if i just took it all and went swimming
i know this is kind of impulsive but hey from how long ive been on this forum its obvious its a long time coming

A lot of people shit on hypothermia but I think it's underrated. Here's my thoughts - It's not particularly painful, just uncomfortable. If you can embrace the cold and find peace it's not bad at all. Death can occur fairly fast (<1 hour) if you're in cold water, and it's more of a slow transition rather than one scary moment like jumping or shooting yourself so SI won't interfere as much. Also, it's said you feel warm, peaceful, and sleepy in the later stages of hypothermia. Pair this with sedatives and I'd say you have a winner. Just be sure to stay near the shore so you don't drown first.

Most importantly - DONT MAKE ANY IMPULSIVE DECISIONS!! This is your whole life. If there's one decision not to rush, this is it. Give it time. Maybe you'll change your mind, maybe not.

t drown first

nah thats part of the idea tyhough, i wanna drown. i just think that the onset of hypothermia & sedatives would probably make it easier to give in to the water, yk? i'm up north so either ill die because of overdose, drowning, or cold. whole lotta vultures, & no one to help :P

Will SI kick in before loss of consciousness? For example when the body feels too cold SI forces to just jump out of the water

Drowning REALLY amps up the SI, probably enough to override all the drowsiness. Maybe have some floatation device so that you can stay in the cold water while not drowning? Could that help? Idk what exactly is going on with this method, but it seems promising. One thing I want to add is that frostbite is VERY painful and can lead to lost fingers, toes, and limbs. If you plan to CTB through hypothermia, make sure you don't freeze while doing it.

Sorry for the late reply. I don't think so (?), I've heard people are often somewhat stubborn and don't think clearly when hypothermic - that is, they refuse help warming up are don't act distressed. Before losing consciousness it's documented you feel peaceful, cozy, and sleepy like you just want to lay down. This may prompt you to leave the water but you'd still probably die after that point.

How could I avoid frostbite with this method? Would alcohohol + sleep med help?

Simple……carry the method out in a warm swimming pool/hot tub/bath etc instead. You can also tie yourself under easier so no chance of SI kicking in……unconscious and tied

Sleep meds x opiod x alcohol x antimetic plus drowning

i wanna try this but i'm scared of water.. would alcohol + other sedatives in a winter snowstorm or just burying yourself in the snow be enough?

No real info to add to this, just know that I've heard of someone trying this and failing.

They never made it to the water and passed out on the shore, cut to waking up in hospital and being sent to the psych ward.

Something to keep in mind.
