reducing life expectancy as much as possible

[cursum.perficio]

I'm just curious but does anyone here do this? Be it smoking, being obese and eating nothing but processed food, driving without a seatbelt, etc.

It might take some years off, and I don't know how old you are or what kind of health you're in, but it would likely be a long-term process anyway and you would probably feel even worse for all those years it would take for you to succumb to that, if it even happens at an earlier age.

Some of it is just luck, there are some older people who did all of those things and are still living it up, and then some very healthy people that randomly die at earlier ages.

I dont smoke and im not obese, but i do everything else i can to lower the chances of me living forever. No matter the pain. Slowly hurting the heart and weakening my body as much as i can. So even if i do try and fail ctb again, body shouldnt be strong enough to tank it again.

Driving without seatbelt saved my life before, while having seatbelt on almost killed my mum. Theres no rules.

 

[itsamadworld]

I smoke weed and drink alcohol a lot lately, but i eat just enough to get by, and yet I still run, to get a runners high. I also like to break and shatter sh-t too, Like plates and useless glasswears....My neighbors and I used to love to take the gun powder from fireworks, and turn metal hollow tubes into little mini bombs that would throw shrapnel, that was therapy AF for me! I used to drive impulsivity and at high speeds down winding country roads, and slide into fields, near missing trees...I had several OD's, I used to be military, and I tried to shoot myself in the head. I think if I had a better gun, I might go that wa....I used to love convoys in war time, the prospect of getting shot is on my top four preferred death routes ... But number 1 is still in my sleep....shooting ranges thrilled me, though not as much anymore... as to why I think SN is my choice at the moment...

One of my primary school teachers died in a freak accident.
She was in her car,having arrived to pick up someone from the train station.
For reasons I don't understand,a fire started inside her car.
Witnesses say,she was trying to release the seatbelt,but was unable to.
She was trapped inside and died an awful,frantic death.

How was she so lucky? I mean I suppose it depends who you ask, but imo, she had a death I would take at this point. Okay, I agree, I would prefer an explosion, the fire does sound quite terrifyingly painful...thats true. But for someone needing to override the SI, I can't be too choosey at this point! ....not trying to throw shade or nothin, but I gotta a lot of fears about bailing on my next attempt,... I just can't take the BS of life anymore and mental illness. I wish assistance in suicide were legal.

 

[Despondent]

I smoke and lately I've been eating a lot of junk food. I also don't wear my seatbelt in hopes that if there's a crash, I'll die

Pretty much everything that you've mentioned lol

Damn, poor lady. People who dont want to die always get short end of the stick.

The problem with this idea is twofold. Firstly, there is no guarantee that any of these things will necessarily make you die sooner. Statistically it makes it more likely, but there are always exceptions to the rule. Secondly, it means the time you do spend alive will be much less enjoyable, plagued with numerous chronic health problems that may not kill you but will definitely reduce your quality of life and cost you in medical bills and medications.

Frankly, it's probably smarter to either use proper suicide outright, or otherwise to make the most of your lifetime. And that doesn't need to mean living healthily if you don't want to, but it does mean not deliberately throwing factors at yourself like those mentioned.

 

[KLUF]

You actually might want to CTB later anyway because with this way of life you are likely to develop serious conditions that could be unbearable.

 

[SuiSqueeze92]

Come hangout with me... I got you.

Alcohol *take sip*, light cigarette, maybe sip on an energy drink (sometimes will mix it too, especially Rockstar Punch'D), more alcohol, another cigarette, bong hit, maybe some Copenhagen between cigs. Rinse and repeat.

*BONUS*
Munchies kick in... hit up fast food places and spend too much money.

It seems that the global food system will collapse following runaway climate change so becoming obese will only prolong the agony of starvation. Dr Guy Mcpherson and others predicts this will happen in the few 5-6 years. The arctic is experiencing record high temperatures and methane levels are rising faster than expected so this could be sooner. The right thing to do would be for the government to legalise euthanasia during this escalating period to those who wish to die and ration out the dwindling food to the rest of the population and focus all efforts into mitigation technologies. This won't happen though of course which most will suffer slowly and those who wish to die quickly will need to risk taking it in their own hands. Don't want to start a debate, just my opinion. Happy days.

 

[SpottedPanda]

I smoke, I eat rich, cheap food, and I'm obese. It's not a suicide plan, it's simply pleasure and convenience. Any such actions can't really be described as suicide, they're simply what some might say irresponsible.

 

[lostangel]

I think about it often but there is no point as I don't want to get lung cancer from smoking. As well I think smoking only takes 10-20 years off you. It's not really anything unless you're 40 or 50. You will also deal with the side effects of lung cancer.

 

[Walilamdzi]

I know someone like this.

 

[Raminiki]

It has a name. Passive suicide.

 

[Bct]

I considered this too, but most likely the effects will appear years later & slowly, not more reliable than methods explained on this site.

 

[Bre_z]

And if you ended up with serious consequences, wouldn't this just give you a way in to assisted suicide/euthanasia?

 

[foreverlikethestars]

i've just been doing unsafe combinations of drugs and sleeping in the hope of not waking up

 

[Mr.Mediocre]

I guess this counts, I developed a (likely) very dangerous technique for reducing my feelings of pure dread and anxiety by taking 200-400mg of modafinil and then intentionally sleep depriving myself for 24-48 hours (have gone up to 70hrs once). It puts me into a strange apathetic state where I am both extremely fatigued and fully awake at the same time, and the extra dopamine boost helps me cope with the day.

 

[TastySorrow]

I haven't had a single medical routine check in almost 15 years. I smoke, am a little overweight (though that bothers me honestly) and have become pretty reckless with meds lately, like taking 1.5 to 2g of paracetamol or near to 1g ibuprofen at once for my usual headaches.

 

[snowman626]

no terrible idea. what if you get diabetes or cancer and have to have limbs amputated, become blind, feel like shit? or if you get a stroke and become paralysed, or get into a car accident and get paralysed or lose limbs?

my plan is to get into the best physical shape i can and feel as good as possible during my time alive, then when its time to go i can have the physical ability to carry out the ctb method

 

[TastySorrow]

I might get to CTB painless and succesfully like the coward POS I am before any of that happens. Otherwise I'll get to die or live the rest of my life in as much pain as I deserve.

 

[Dreamless Sleep]

And if you ended up with serious consequences, wouldn't this just give you a way in to assisted suicide/euthanasia?

God I hope so! That's part of why I just started smoking again after quitting for 8 years. And assisted suicide is legal in my state so... *fingers crossed*

Growing up, one neighbor never did anything wrong and died in their mid 60's, another neighbor drank whiskey and smoked roll your own cigs, and died around 90. Go figure!

I've never gotten a runners high I'm so envious. I'm a total couch potato I was born that way, anemic anorexic and not athletic. Running causes me pain, actually most physical tasks cause me mild aches and pain... I always thought it was normal? Hmmm



I definitely am! I've been smoking cigarettes for 17 years, I eat a lot of sugar, and I'm a heroin (smoker) addict. Euthanasia is also legal here but I did attempt suicide at 14 and was diagnosed with depression... so I'm not sure if they'll use that against me. I'm 32 now and have had no other run ins with mental health. I feel like those records are all gone or not relevant anymore because whenever I've tried to talk about it to anyone who has access to ny records, they're like "huh interesting". I feel like my entire childhood medical records have been deleted or something. It just seems that way, as soon as I turned 19 the medical community completely dissassociated me from my childhood past. It was like a clean slate. So either my doctor lost them, or they're just idiots which is probably the case, no one believes me that my childhood issues are still plaguing me today and just because I turned 19 it doesn't all magically disappear.

I see that happen a lot. People who were health nuts and exercising regularly end up dying from a horrible cancer, while actual health hazards live til they're 80 and drop dead peacefully. It's just another example of how unfair life is.

 

[Pallf]

I've never been a fan of it, but I'm thinking of taking up smoking. You know I already don't eat well, and I exercise off and on. I need to think of other ways to help with passive ctb. Probably not drinking though, I hate nausea and puking. I'm slowly but surely losing the will to live.

I respect those who see it as unfair but it's worth pointing out the strongly ironic proof that life does not have the objective value so many people try to force into the social imaginary.

 

[I screwed up]

Imo if u want to ctb u need to do it actively, reducing life expectancy by all these acts of recklessness like smoking, driving without seatbelt etc. is just a theoretical discussion and self full filling prophecy . Do u really want to wait for years to succeed. In a way I feel its normal death and not suicide. Just my opinion.

 

[Deleted member 19276]

Ah, while I do not do stuff like smoking due to a lung illness, I do at times tend to do things that are reckless. It all has to do with what you described, feeling that ultimately nothing will really matter. In other words, I can relate.
