might need to CTB in the next 4 weeks but i have no resources except for some sharp knifes and razors at home, wondering if cutting myself would be worth it or if it would hurt too much (I've never cut myself in SH)?

I've already tried pills and it didn't go well clearly so I'm not doing that again

It's much more difficult than people think. Blood vessels large enough to do damage when cut are tucked away behind tendons and muscles, etc—and sawing through all that would hurt like crazy. Wouldn't be my choice, that's for sure.

The vast majority of people who attempt ctb by cutting fail for a reason. That's not to say it's impossible though. But if you're concerned about pain I'd look elsewhere. Hugs

You are right. There are no easy ways out, suicide takes grit,but there are more reliable ways out.

There is an easy way out, with Nitrogen and a plastic bag, but it cost money--With just 5 breaths in 20 seconds, my Oxygen dropped from 99 to 54!--Breathing Nitrogen is just like breathing Oxygen,and then you go tosleep

I have never considered ctb by cutting, it sounds painful, risky and unreliable. There really is no easy way to exit this life, suicide is very difficult after all. I think that if it was easier to leave, I would already be gone. The fear of failure is what holds me back from ctb. I wish you the best in whatever happens.

hanging is a better method I think. This method of cutting I don't know how anyone can do it... They say ywarm bath, slice vertically.

The only person I ever met who did this had scars on his wrists in teh wrong direction, and his friend has saved him. Sucks to that!

That would be some fucked up way to go, I believe even hanging could be better. Idk if I'm just weak, but I couldn't do that, not even real high. I mostly cut when I'm drunk or on pills and it still hurts a lot, to do it to a point where it would actually work to ctb would be really hard to achieve

It's up to you but unless you've either cut before or have a high pain tolerance it'll be difficult to succeed. Not to say people haven't, Avicci is one that springs to mind. You'd really need to hit one of a few arteries in your arms or legs. If you fail you'll probably need to go to hospital and could end up with nerve or tendon damage which can cause all sorts of mobility issues.
