Im making a list of suicide methods that are painless. Shallow water blackout, inert gas, and gunshot to the head are what i found so far. What other methods that are there and what are the pros and cons of each?

Inert gas is honestly the gold standard of those methods it's even better than the barbital type medications cuz it's guaranteed and works a lot faster provided that it's executed properly

i think hanging yourself might be painless if you have a long rope and you tie it to something like a guard rail on a bridge and jump

straight up jumping would not be peaceful, it might cause decapitation, i heard people are hypothetically supossed to ease themselves into the position.
don't kick the stool, but ease themselves slowly into it.
that's just what i've read

I was thinking of drowning, I was maybe gonna drown before and thought I was... Problem is, if you survive, it's easy to have sustained brain damage from the oxygen deprivation. And then a gunshot to the head can also cause brain damage if you survive. So idk what to choose. Something painless that won't leave me with serious damage if I survive.. but I don't know what
Also barely anyone has guns in my country 💔

Drowning is extremely painful, supposedly one of the worst ways to die

Scratch that. There's a post by Ben where he admits that he hyped it up baselessly, that it's really hard to practically do it, and that he wished that mods removed the whole shallow water thread.

How to make drowning so "extremely painful"? Should it be done in very hot water (>70 °C) or maybe concentrated hydrochloric acid (possibly also heated to >70 °C)?

I think it was here recently stated that the brain has no pain receptors
If true, it would remove a lot of pain from gunshot wound to the head.

Hanging is definitely painless if done properly. I've choked myself out multiple times with a belt and it gave such a euphoric high.

Carbon monoxide is painless because it replaces oxygen in the blood without raising CO2 levels so you don't feel like you're suffocating.

I might have been good with doing that until I seen the several people who hesitated and ended up blowing their faces off and surviving.

Or the countless people who succeeded and what it looks like after. It's just all bad when you know what the result will be.

Ketamine overdose. Make it more fun at least.

Hi, hope you don't mind me asking...

how much K did you take and did you snort or IV? What was the OD experience like? Did they tell you that you would have died from it?

If (as you are on this forum) you wanted to attempt again, would you use this method? Why or why not?

I read that it is generally most dangerous in combination with other substances/alcohol, but that is common, so to OD on it, how is that done?

Thanks in advance for any advice. I am not going in the next week or two, I don't think, but want to have an escape. I've been on this forum for years.

I joined this site to research that very question. I was sad to discover that there is no method that is guaranteed to be successful, painless, and quick. There is always the chance of botching it and either suffering a slow/painful death or living and having devastating long-lasting effects. Very discouraging thing to discover.

The act of dying is in itself painful and inducing it on your own it is not going to take that pain away.

I think the way to go is to pass out before you feel the pain (and don't wake up).
Death is always painful. It doesn't matter the way you go...
If you passed out and can't feel the pain, every method should be good.
Therefore N2 is my method. Fast passing out (under 1 minute) and brain dead within 10-20 minutes (if done correctly).

Just for curiosity and why i want actually to die in that way what is "N2"?

N₂ is a chemical formula of nitrogen gas. Subscript digits like ₂ are harder to type, so they are often replaced with regular symbols. N2 is supposed to mean N₂.

Oh now is more nice to know it, "N₂" wouldn't waste even if i already planned to get killed by "Sodium Nitrite" in person, would you rate less painful to get killed by "N₂" in anyway?

Asphyxiation with nitrogen (or other inert gases) is commonly painless unless too much oxygen is present in the breathed gas mixture. Nevertheless, some people complained about discomfort. Inert gas asphyxiation may cause moderate sense of air hunger, "fullness" in the head, tingling in the skin, and tinnitus.
