Say one method you would never choose and why

[Lady black]

N. I don´t believe in it and I hate poison and chemicals, really afraid of it. I prefer a classci hanging, like the noose around my neck

 

[Righttodie]

Hanging isn't really that peaceful in my experience (partial attempts) and with full depending on the setup you could still fight to abort the attempt although it would be difficult. It's not instant is what i'm saying, nor is it painless and gentle.

I wouldn't do the train, seen too many bodies cut in half still moving after being run over.

I'm at the point where I couldn't care less about the public being horrified by my death, i've been trapped here wanting to die for too long to give a fuck about complete strangers.

OD is the only real 'nice' exit imo.

Hanging if done well is quick and painless. When done wrong you compress the trachea or one or the other veins and arteries, not both.
But if you can get some way to cover the trachea and apply pressure to both the arteries and veins, it's painless.

I am still looking for resources as to how to manage to protect the airways. Will post it as a separate thread.

Brain death is death. What is scary is everything but your brain dying.

It is only recent definition...

from wikipedia:

"
Traditionally, both the legal and medical communities determined death through the permanent end of certain bodily functions in clinical death, especially respiration and heartbeat. With the increasing ability of the medical community to resuscitate people with no respiration, heartbeat, or other external signs of life, the need for another definition of death occurred, raising questions of legal death. This gained greater urgency with the widespread use of life support equipment, as well as rising capabilities and demand for organ transplantation.
Since the 1960s, laws on determining death have, therefore, been implemented in all countries with active organ transplantation programs. The first European country to adopt brain death as a legal definition (or indicator) of death was Finland in 1971. In the United States, Kansas had enacted a similar law earlier.[8]
An ad hoc committee at Harvard Medical School published a pivotal 1968 report to define irreversible coma.[9][10] The Harvard criteria gradually gained consensus toward what is now known as brain death.

So the "brain death" was basically introduced to make organ transplants possible...I prefer to be dead in traditional way...

If your brain is dead, the rest of you body has to be dead. The rest of your body can't function is the brain isn't telling it what to do.

I think the brain death concept has grown because it was hard to tell if a person was brain dead until the 1960s. Measuring heartbeat or breath is a lot easier than measuring brain activity.

Personally, burning alive or ingesting any form of medication with the intent of using it to ctb. Once you've ingested those meds there's no going back, and if things don't work out you're in for a painful time. That's why popular methods like SN are out of the question for me.

 

[Avicii]

I would never ctb by jumping. I get nervous only thinking about it, I really cant stand heights

Yes jumping be struggle for me my body physically has a fight with me backwards whenever I'm near a steep edge although weirdly once I had to move myself away from a steep cliff in Angelsea (a gorgeous part of the world for those that don't know it) as my body was doing the opposite and telling me to jump

https://curiosity.com/topics/the-hi...-strange-urge-to-jump-off-a-bridge-curiosity/

I wasn't as suicidal as I am now as I didn't have my condition and led a happy content life

 

[DoneWithThis]

Setting myself on fire. It's already bad enough the tines I've burnt myself by accident, and a few on purpose. Theirs some very gruesome ways to go out but I feel that's the most horrifying one for me. Flesh burning. Horrendous amount of pain. The ubxtrollanlr screaming. Trashing on the floor instinctively trying to set it out. Watching you're own flesh cook. The putrid smell. And god forbid if for whatever reason you survive. And also very dangerous for others. I just want to CTB. I don't want to take out others with me.

 

[FF777]

Bathtub of piranhas.....it just seems like survival instinct would be too much to suppress while you are sitting there being eaten alive..

 

[MAIO]

Death by living until the last possible second no matter what the cost is because Death seems to clearly be a neutral to me. Not the worst possible thing imaginable life pro lifers believe. Plus it's too popular.

 

[laiduponit]

Jumping, when I was a little younger I was planning on jumping off a bridge that was not far from me. Maybe thirty minutes minimum at walking pace, though when I started to think about it, chances were I'd might survive but be crippled. The water wasn't too deep, the rocks were too spaced.

Really wish I could do it by using a firearm but it isn't not possible here.

 

[xXSarac3nSlay3rXx]

I would just avoid any methods that would traumatize or endanger other people. Anything involving a moving vehicle is a no for me. I'd prefer not to use a gun because it leaves an especially disturbing aftermath, but it is an effective method nonetheless.

Could always shoot the heart, isn't as bad as the head. Though that seems like you'd still be in too much pain prior so.

 

[Halo13]

I know it's been said before, but burning alive. A woman I used to know told me of a friend she had do this and succeed. Also had a partner years ago attempt this - including drinking gasoline and covering himself in it before lighting himself on fire in his parent's garage. He never talked about it with me but his mother found him, said it was terrible. He had burns all over his body, damage to his lungs, esophagus and stomach, just awful. Can't even imagine how painful that would be.

 

[vonvonwantpeace]

Jumping, train

 

[Reaper44]

I think drowning would be the worst. It might be easier for me since I don't know how to swim, but I've always had an intense fear of water and it just sounds terrifying. While self-immolation sounds painful, wouldn't you die from smoke inhalation? Or does it not work that way, since you're the one on fire?

 

[peacefully31425]

Fire.

 

[Libracusp_1022]

Fire , seen so many people (gore channels) douse themselves in petrol, light themselves and then try to run away from it , most survive if they are put out but but with very little skin left , why the hell would you chose that way ?

Fire is terrifying. I can't even fathom the pain. But what about people who are in fires and don't get burned, but die of smoke inhalation? Is that also excruciating? Do theur lungs burn? Or do they suffocate? That would be bad too.
Jumping seems awful. Not just the jump, but the part where you know you're going to land, and even worse- when you hit the ground. Jumping into water might be less awful.

I would never consider hanging. It seems like it could be really terrible if you didn't get it just right.

 

[restingspot]

Drowning.

The noises people make when they're drowning are terrifying. I don't want to hear that in myself, let alone another person.

 

[LifeOver]

Waiting.

I will never wait until I reach the end of my natural lifespan to finally leave this planet. This is truly the most painful death possible.

 

[ScorpiusDragon]

fire

 

[hunthunt]

Jumping, I hate heighs and I would really like my mother to be able to see one last time his son in a decent state, not with his head smashed like a fucking egg

Ran over by Train, truck or big machinery: Man, that Is just absolutely perverse for the people that has to clean your nasty shit, and completely merciless against every bystander which wont be able to sleep for weeks. That is just mean.

Burned or drown to death: that is just the most agonizing shit ever,seriously is the exact opposite to a peacefull exit.

Overdose of OTC meds: Useless unless what you really wanted is a tube in your anus to clean your stomach.

Stabbing myself: I just couldnt do it, I scream like a lady when I cut my finger in the kitchen

Dying of thirst/Starving I just love food and drinks, just nope

Lost myself into the wild: Again, I dont want my skull to be found by some group of fucking boy scouts.

 

[Blackjack]

I am not ill, I am totally sane and rational, so I dont want to CTB. In fact, I am born again and I am here to save your souls. [Hopefully that satisfies any snoopers looking to catch me out]

Some of us might not want our souls saved.

 

[Wayfaerer]

Jumping, because fuck that!

Self-immolation too but that one is too obvious.

 

[okaoki]

Drowning , Fire , cutting ownself

i know jumping are messy but its the method i'll probably use.

 

[134340]

Jumping in front of a train or vehicle because that involves likely traumatizing someone else and possibly subjecting them to a lifetime of trauma. I'd rather not directly involve anyone

 

[SelfHatingAspie]

Jumping in front of a train or vehicle because that involves likely traumatizing someone else and possibly subjecting them to a lifetime of trauma. I'd rather not directly involve anyone

I concur. The worst part about this method is the real risk of transferring your mental illness and desire to ctb onto someone else who may have been perfectly healthy right up until the time their vehicle was your ticket to ctb.

 

[Ky204]

Anything that would inconvenience other people (jumping in front of train, etc), thinking that my last moment would be a hindrance on others just seems like a horrible way to leave this planet.

 

[MerrySkeleton]

Wrist slashing. It's such a nasty, bloody, violent way to go. Also most of the chemical methods (SN etc) seem so bland to me. I'd like to go out with a bit more dramatic flair.

 

[Quitter]

Anything that has a high failure rate or leaves a mangled corpse for innocent bystanders to ogle, or even worse, something that harms others (seriously f**k people who crash their cars against incoming traffic, etc.)

Pain isn't so bad if it's just for a short time, but as someone with claustrophobia I would hate to suffocate to death.

 

[Roger]

What about the pilot of the Germanwings plane that deliberately crashed in the Alps a couple of years back, taking 150 people with him ?

And there is increasing evidence that the pilot of MH370 in 2014 (about 250 missing/dead) was a suicide too.

How can people do things like that ?
