Discussion Success rate of CTB is apparently one in 25- Are you worried you won’t succeed?

[Fadeawaaaay]

I'm planning my life around and ending it. But what if I can't?

 

[ddd1234]

1 in 25? I thought that it's around 40%

 

[Lucas70]

Is it success rate based on regardless method or spesifik method?

Well it really depends on what method you use. A lot of attempts are not intended to succeed. Overdose on pharmaceuticals has a one or 2% chance of success. Firearms are almost certain success so it depends. What is your chosen method?

 

[FuneralCry]

Even know ctb is difficult, many people have succeeded. I believe knowledge and planning of the method is needed to reduce chances of failure. Of course we all deserve a reliable, peaceful exit at a time of our own choosing, no one should have to resort to methods that could fail in the first place. I think the thing that worries me is ending up with permanent damage and being stuck in a worse quality life. However I know that eventually I will make sure I succeed. Suicide is necessary for me, to prevent decades of suffering.

If you cant then you will have to carry on no matter what life would throw at you i am afraid. It is just how it is

75% of the attempts were drug overdose with 97% survival rate

It's not the best method

 

[Atraxa]

Many attempts are cries for help. I think if you are serious about dying and you follow the correct plan for whichever method you choose. Granting what some might call a miracle, you should die.

The success rate is so low because most likely many of those attempts weren't serious attempts at actually ending one's life but suicidal gestures (using methods unlikely to succeed such as overdosing) or impulsive or drunk decisions done without planning or forethought. The rate is, in my opinion, probably much higher for people who researched and planned beforehand.

 

[Lifeless mindset]

Not succeeding in CTB is something I have worried about a lot but after doing a bunch of research on all kinds of methods, I've came to the conclusion that my current method is the way to go. I'm pretty confident that my method will work.

May I know what is ur method?is it N or Sn?if there is other than this two method,i want to do some studies

 

[noname223]

I am always scared about permanent damage. I researched the best method which is reliable and does not cause very severe damage.
I always avoided ctb methods with low chance of dying. I do not see anything good in it.
I could have tried to OD a thousand times but it is way liklier to have damage than to succeed.

1 in 25 wow that's definitely not good, maybe SI is stronger than we think and it unconsciously causes us to fail ctb in different ways.

Nah, think about it. The majority of suicide attempts are just desperate gestures. The majority aren't actually doing research, planning, making a will etc.

Well I have read some post here to were people have survived both N and SN and most of them were planned. Sure many suicide attempts are done in sheer desperation and despair but don't you think that unconsciously SI is guideing our bodies to fail ctb some how?

I like to think you're right.

This happen if that person has a very bad bad luck.Some of us has no choice but to face whatever comes.I feel very sad for thi s as it can happen to anybody

 

[Silenos]

That'll depend entirely on your method and your ability to overcome your SI.

My method, jumping from a very high place, is pretty foolproof. My conviction is 100%. Whether I'll be able to overcome my SI is something I'll find out when I get up there.

 

[PeacefulTonic]

Like others have said, most are suicidal gestures that would almost always fail. If it were only methods such as N, SN, firearms, and jumping, I bet the success rate would be 80-90% at least

Of course some are gonna survive, but you don't have people to post how the successful attempts happened. Absolutely SI is guiding us to fail. Its why suicide isn't easy. Ironically you need really strong willpower to successfully off yourself.

SN+Full suspension

 

[Lucas70]

SN+Full suspension

I was thinking sn + drowning.

 

[Lifeless mindset]

I was thinking sn + drowning.

I don't know much about drowning, but the thought of not being able to breathe and having your lounges fill up with water seems really unpleasant. With full suspension+ SN, you'll pass out quicker and the chance of surviving is less likely. Also I feel like if someone drank SN, then tried drowning, they would swallow large amounts of which could maybe affect the outcome of the CTB attempt?

I thought when you become unconscious from sn you will not struggle for breath,just inhale water and die.I was wrong.

That's because they were found or didn't follow the protocol properly.

SN+Full suspension

Eey! We got the same idea...! We'll see if my SN arrives.

In my opinion SN and drowning would only work if drowning is your main method and SN is the back up. And that you'd drown with weights so you can't resurface. Drink SN and jump in with weights attached.

 

[Versailles]

The truth is, I would not care much if I fail, I think that both my life and my death do not matter much, if I fail, then it will be one more day

I will not jump.i will swim,let the sn make me unconscious so I will just drown.If i jump before unconscious means i still have to struggle with panic

Where will you swim? Will you drink SN after swimming far out or before swimming? Have you thought through the details?

I will drink sn and go to the river nearby while waiting for the sn to take effect i just stay in the water.so when i collapse,i just slip i into the bottom of the river.Yes with weight
