Swallowing sharp items

[TooLateNow]

Is there any method anyone knows of that involves swallowing something sharp, eg plastic or metal to possibly cause internal bleeding, leading to death??

Please let me know if you have any thoughts!

I have no idea but it sounds like a painful and slow way to go.

Please do not use this method. There are more peaceful options. If the stomach is perforated, the acid contained there will spill everywhere, I heard that it is incredibly painful

I dont recommend to swallow any objects, Ive tried this a few times with different things and mostly it just resolved itself without treatment after some initial pain (mild to severe) and nausea. The closest I got was magnets combined with batteries like a few of each but the pain was very obvious, I felt like my whole abdomen was jumping about and spasming and I was vomiting and was forced to hospital, instead of dying I had some of my intestine removed and a lengthy hospital stay I dont recommend, it can take a while to even begin to actually start killing you too (whilst being very very painful) and there is no guarantees, it might just come out anyways and you'd be surprised at the things you can eat and be fine.

agree with user above me. this is unreliable and would likely be considered a non method.


please consider looking at the resource compilation thread if you haven't. no disrespect intended

This isn't true. I stabbed myself last year and the knife went clean through my stomach, creating entry and exit wounds. Obviously it wasn't a pleasant experience but there was no sensation of stomach acid burning.

When I was in the GI ward recovering from my own suicide attempt, a girl was brought in who had swallowed a bunch of broken glass as a form of self-harm. I would say it's difficult to actually die from this method and most likely would only result in hospitalisation.
