Discussion Shallow water blackout in bathtub

[sweet_oblivion]

For anyone out there considering shallow water blackout, would you leave a note so that people knew it was suicide or let it be ruled an accident? I haven't actually seen any reports of suicide with this method and I'm pretty sure it would be ruled accidental in most cases unless there was major evidence to say otherwise.
So my question is would you use this to your advantage and let family/friends think that your death was accidental or would you want them to know the truth and leave some kind of note?

I have considered this method if I get extremely desperate but I'm not sure that I would ever be able to actually go through with it. It does sound like a horrible way to go. If I was to, I think I would rather have my death be thought of as a suicide, suicide is the way that I want to die, I want to exit at a time of my own choosing. I guess it does not really matter to me what others think, as I will not be alive at that point anyway. I wish you the best.

Does anyone know your feelings at this current place in time? Have you talked with anyone about how you feel? Mentioned suicide before to anyone? Is your depression/pain known? If so, surely that would come to light. If it did from enough sources, it may not be ruled accidental. I don't know. And if anyone does know your circumstances in life leading up to this, even if it was ruled an accident, in their own mind of minds I'm sure they'd know what really happened.

Some of my family know that my mental state isn't great but as far as I'm aware nobody knows I'm even the smallest bit suicidal. The one thing I would hate to do is leave them wondering whether it was an accident or not. I would rather make it known that it was suicide than have them find out after a long and drawn out inquest. I guess if I did set it up as accidental I could never be sure whether people would know the truth or not.

Hmm I don't know either way perhaps might be fine by me. I'm not exactly thrilled with the idea of someone I know finding me naked and dead in the bathtub. But that is not my primary concern. I am more concerned about whether I will be alone and have an opportunity and ( the ability to overcome the survival instinct). And that I will be successful and free of this world.

You cant do shallow water blackout in a bath-tub, you have to be using energy for it to work I.E you need to be swimming.

There is a method where you purposely hyperventilate and repeatedly hold breath underwater to trigger it

Yeah actually I didn't think about the naked part I assumed I would just wear clothes but then it would be obvious it was suicide oops

I know what it is, I even tried it myself. Unless you're really lucky it wont work, you need to be swimming for your body to just shut down with your breathe held.
Dont believe me? Then explain why every person who tried it here never died and why everyone who did die from it were professional swimmers who died doing this whilst swimming/diving??

I don't think naked is a prerequisite for being in a bathtub, if that's a concern.
