Discussion Should I make my ctb look like an accident instead?

[shroomia]

I'm thinking about what would be my best option of dying that would cause the least amount of suffering for my parents. My death will always be horrible and cause a lot of pain but I've been thinking about if it's better that everyone knows it was suicide or if making it look like an accident would be better. I don't think my Parents would ever fully understand the reasons why I want to end my life. At least my Mum definitely wouldn't. I talked to my Dad a little bit about my ideation but I also don't think he would understand why everything drove me to this. So maybe instead of leaving a note and a will and all I could make it look like an accidental overdose. I'm just not sure what would be the best in terms of closure and hopefully preventing as much suffering as I can. I fear if I make it openly a suicide they would never stop asking themselves if they couldve prevented it, but the same thing kinda also applies to a drug related death.
It's an awful situation either way.
Does anyone maybe have some pro/contra arguments for me?

What I learned from trying to make my suicide look like an accident is it's very hard to make a suicide to look like an accident.
Even if you can fool everyone at first, a quick investigation into your history is all it takes to find out.

Any method that is highly lethal will most likely tell that u did it with full knowledge and intent to CTB. If its accident there might be some invesigation on it by the police and will most likely know quite quickly that its was suicide. Generally the cause will be know and accidental overdoses dont happend often and its quite rare. I also dont suggest overdosing any medicine as its extremly risky and also there are low chances of u actually dying. Much love

There's still a lot of questions and inquiries about ODs, and people asking about what things may facilitate a successful attempt. Let's be clear, ODs are rarely fatal. Why? For a couple of reasons: (1) modern medications are designed to be very safe, as manufacturers aim to avoid deaths that...

Yeah that's what I've also been thinking about. All my Partners know I'm suicidal but like maybe they would still be able to think it might have just been an accident. I know it's probably just wishful thinking of me
I'm just trying to cause the least amount of pain
It just feels awful

I think a part of it is also the closure u need? Like for me I would prefer not to hurt them like that but I still want to leave notes, partly cuz I don't wanna leave without saying some goodbyes, it would feel too wrong, and partly bcuz I need someone to do some tasks for me after.

Unless you know how to somehow outsmart the police confidently, I wouldn't recommend it. Idk if you live in the US, but the way it works here is police will investigate all unnatural deaths. A cover-up will complicate the investigation and likely cause your loved ones more pain. Even with obvious suicides, the police often consider loved ones people of interest and will conduct interviews. Imagine the stress they will have to endure when there's an added layer of your death looking like a cover-up.
