Permanent brain damage

[HannibalLector]

89000 people are permanently disabled after suicide attempt every year in united states.

This freaks me out!!


"Nonfatal suicide attempts can result in serious injury. 700,000 (or more) Americans survive a suicide attempt each year. People who attempt hanging and survive or charcoal grill carbon monoxide poisoning can face permanent brain damage due to cerebral anoxia. People who take an overdose and survive can face severe organ damage (e.g., liver failure). Individuals who jump from a bridge and survive may face the rupture of multiple organs and severe damage to the spine.

While a majority sustain injuries that allow them to be released following emergency department treatment, a significant minority—about 116,000—are hospitalized, of whom 110,000 are eventually discharged alive. Their average hospital stay is 79 days. Some 89,000, (17%) of these people are permanently disabled, restricted in their ability to work."

"In the U.S., the NIMH reports there are 11 nonfatal suicide attempts for every suicide death. The American Association of Suicidology reports higher numbers, stating that there are 25 suicide attempts for every suicide completion."

OMG that's scary. I thought CO was pretty much fool proof

So you're twice more likely to suffer permanent damage than be successful am I reading this rigot?

 

[OfficerK]

17% of what group of people? 89,000 is 81% of 110,000 and 13% of 700,000.

This is a nightmare ;_;

 

[Sinbad]

Let's hope that no one here experiences a similar fate. This site and its valuable resources will hopefully prepare us all for a successful attempt.

 

[Empty Smile]

I already suffer from permanent brain damage. It's called life.

Ommg why are you telling us this?

 

[Amira]

This is a nightmare ;_;

Yes so if we attempt and survive Then our life would even worse and we would have no escape because we would be brain dead. We would have to live all our lives with permenant brain damage. Ommmg this life is a nightmare.Someone wake us up and tell us this was just a bad dream.

 

[OfficerK]

Ommg why are you telling us this?

It's important to know what you're getting into.

I know but its so scary because i was ready to attempt today. I was jist scrolling through and saw. Now i dont want to do it because the back of my mind is telling me thst there could be a chance of this happening. I cant bare to see my mom having to look after her 18 year old daughter who is brain dead because she attempted suicide. Not only will i have to explain myself to her. But she also have to quit her career as a nurse to look after me and explain herself to everyone. ommmmg fuck. This sucks. The shame she will face if this happens.

 

[Goldie]

Guide to successful ctb
I recommend make sure not to get interrupted for extended amount of time, study method carefully to master it and use only reliable method (consider combine methods).

Im planning to combine two or three of the most reliable methods.

Reliable method and successful ctb
"Some suicide methods have higher rates of lethality than others. The use of firearms results in death 90% of the time. Wrist-slashing has a much lower lethality rate, comparatively. 75% of all suicide attempts are by self-poisoning, a method that is often thwarted because the drug is nonlethal, or is used at a nonlethal dosage. These people survive 97% of the time." (same wiki link)

If someone here ended up in that state we would never even know

 

[Thoughtforms]

I wonder why this has never happened to anyone famous? They all seem to be successful unless it's an impulsive overdose

 

[FornaxMM]

I already suffer from permanent brain damage. It's called life.

Beautifully put.

 

[Arak]

Unfortunately, it can always get worse...

 

[Xerxes]

Luckily my brother has the power of authority to terminate me if I ever reach brain damage status. I just have to get myself there, suffer through the pain, and make sure it isn't golf season because he disappears during golf season.

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[TiredHorse]

This scares the piss out of me. I'm a writer --or I was, before the writer's block set in. My mind was my most cherished asset. It is already impeded enough, with the writer's block, but to lose more of it? No no no no no...!

Arak is right: it can get worse.

 

[samsays89]

Thank you.

Scientific information is always valuable.

I had some doubts about certain methods and this helps bring up any doubts to the forefront.

Specifically:

1. Suicide is difficult and requires commitment.
2. Doing suicide can be difficult depending on the method.
3. Sick freaks may get off of your attempt at suicide.
4. Research everything to make sure you aren't being trolled.
5. Never livestream, never share personal info. I used to think about doing this but the amount of garbage out there makes it uncomfortable. Take care of yourself. There may be a resolution or there may not be, but don't trust anonymous emails on the internet

 

[Lifeisatrap]

You would think all these miserably failed suicide attempts would be more than enough incentive to make voluntary euthanasia legal on demand everywhere but no this sick society couldn't care less.

 

[Arak]

Lifelong patients make good money for the medical industry $$$

 

[SatansSavior]

Everyone should know what they're getting into. Although maybe to offer a tiny bit of comfort, these numbers are going to encompass everyone who attempts. A large number of people don't research it, aren't serious beyond needing a cry for help, and swallowing 20 Tylenol thinking that will do it.

So these people are going to skew these statistics a bit. Still these numbers are intimidating. But if that makes you stop and think about just how air-tight your plan is, good. The more you challenge your strategy and make sure you're not missing anything, the better.

Successful suicides are also frequently labeled accidental deaths etc which are not included in these figures.

I think it's because of the almost superhuman mindset of these people, enduring decades of rejection and finally succeeding, despite all obstacles and people telling them they are not good enough, fosters a steely resolve to accomplish the near impossible.

Suicide is not near impossible. You just need a good plan, preferably a combination of multiple methods-although one great method is enough. People fail becuase your mind try to tricks you into using something not lethal.

Ha. No one survives a gun shot to the head if you aim it right. The reason 10% fail is they either flinch before they shoot so they completely miss vital areas or their aim sucks/combo of using a week gun.

 

[Winona]

I've just contacted Dignitas and asked them if it's possible to make a will for my family or any kind of other document with which they could apply to Dignitas in the case of my brain damage, and they answered that it's impossible because of legal reasons. A person should be of sound mind and apply only himself

 

[Smilla]

The elderly are much more successful in their attempts 4:1 success vs failures. Why? Lethal methods and intent.


Remember the failures encompass all of those who are attempting a cry for help as others have said—as I did when I was 13 and swallowed those Tylenol. And the failures that utilize lethal methods (like jumping of the GG or shotgun to the head) are exceptionally rare—approx two percent survival rates.

If you research, plan,
and execute well, odds are in your favor.
