Planning on slitting my wrists

[dontstopmenow]

So I'm planning on CTB but I don't really have the best access to resources that would give me a quick exit. I'm currently a uni student, so unemployed with no income. I don't own a gun. Thought slitting my wrists would be the best (though it still sucks) option for me. Any tips? Stories? Would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I hope you find the freedom you search for, I understand ways to cease existing being inaccessible, it feels so cruel to me how there isn't the option to just simply die in peace and never suffer again.

Slitting wrists works about 1-5% of the time what I've heard and is very painful method. I would recommend SN but it costs :/

Slitting your wrist is not on the top of the list for successful suicides. You have to cut very deep, and the pain is excruciating. If you fail on that attempt, you may have a permanent bracelet (scar) on your wrist.

It's not as easy as movies make it out to be.

hey, so i did that lol. and i failed obviously. i tried it with a razor blade and were only able to cut my right arm open because i became really shaky and weren´t able to hold the blade with my other hand and cut straight. it is really difficult to get deep enough. i hit the main artery but after a while the blood gets thicker and won´t flow out anymore so you have to cut again and again and again. to even get this deep i hade to make multiple cuts in the same wound and it can be mentally really hard to get this far. but as i was then laying there and cutting again and again to get to blood flowing, my si became too strong and i had really strong physical symptoms. i was shaking, exteremly thirsty, sweated like crazy and was so full of fear. i was in a closed unit at the time so i was able to ask my roommate to call the nurses because i did something stupid. i think it´s really hard to ctb from this method. it´s not even the pain, but it just makes you physicallly sick to see your arm open. then the clotting and all of that... i would really advise you not to try this.

The success rate with this method is really low, it's a hard one. I'd guess the main reason it gets attempted so frequently (and fails) is that authors and scriptwriters find it an easy way to write characters off. So folk get an erroneous impression.

You wrote that you prefer the gun. Is it very difficult for you to get it where you live? It's always better to chase your dreams.

As others have said, this isn't a reliable method (TV etc is full of bs) and you'll more than likely be in a worse position than now.

Yes very. They're quite expensive and you have to acquire a license. Would take years for me to get one, I think.

I tried that a long time ago and couldn't even come close to getting it to work. I'd rather go with one of the methods discussed on this site. My ideal, though, is to just get sick and quickly die. Then it would seem like fate :).

Just want to echo what others have said as someone who survived cutting deep enough to see bone and somehow (thanks to ER team) fortunately only have lasting twinges/ discomfort from time to time with fill functionality after recovery - not a highly successful or reliable method and more likely to further traumatize and possibly permanently damage oneself.

I would struggle with that method. I always think of my passing, wanting it to be peaceful and non-traumatic
