Help Stabbing/cutting?

[x22]

I know self-stabbing is a painful method but I think it's the only one possible for me. My question is how do I work up the courage? Whenever I put a knife to my skin I can't make myself do it. Or is there something else that could help?

A Caution About Drug Poisonings (ODs) and Cutting

Thanks for the advice. Like I said, stabbing is really my only option currently. I plan to do it in my stomach (rather than wrists/thighs) which I hear leads to pretty fast bleeding out if it's deep enough. It's not going to be nice but it's what I'm aiming for.

I highly doubt your seppuku attempt will work. Cutting is a low % method.

Right. But again, I don't have a lot of other options available to me, and I'd like to try cutting, lethal or not.

Perhaps alcohol could help? I'm not really sure though. I think if someone can't work up the courage they're not ready to do it yet so it's difficult to force it. Perhaps watching some (gore) videos about people stabbing themselves could help you with your decision making?
Why are other methods no options for you? There is quite a few viable methods out there.

By the way, I love your profile picture. Weevils are cute. It's rare to see profile pictures of insects other than butterflies or ladybugs.

Thank you so much! I'll take both of those into account. I don't have many other options because I'm not doing very well financially right now and can't really buy materials and I have a really extreme aversion to anything to do with touching my neck/putting anything on it. Physically I can't make myself do it.
Yes weevils are great! I don't know a lot about bugs but sometimes I just scroll through pictures of weevils to pass the time

I fantasize about deep cutting/stabbing a lot but never attempted that because of the super low success rate plus it'd probably be really hard to overcome SI while doing it. And the mess. Alcohol would help in the sense of lowering inhibition and thinning your blood (quicker hemorrhaging).

I didn't think of the blood thinning aspect. That probably raises the success rate quite a bit I imagine?

Only if you succeed in hitting a major artery, which is the reason the success rate is so low. Most people don't.

Surely it would work from anywhere on your torso if you cut deep enough, it would just be slower, right? Do most people who don't hit a major artery get discovered?

No. Plenty of stab survivors in this world. Sorry.

I know a lot of people survive it, like you said it's a low % method, I'm just wondering what happens
