Method Train, meds, rope

[Sea water]

Lately I've been "joking" around a lot about ending myself and my friend asked the other day: "if you want to die so badly, why won't you kill yourself?"

...

Anyway, I've been thinking the most about laying on train tracks since they're really close to my dormitory and I could easily go there when it's dark and probably with nobody else out there, buying a huge amount of sleeping meds or something like that and taking them all maybe with alcohol or just a shit ton of them orrr just simply hanging myself.

I want to know what would be the best option cuz I am kinda afraid of the pain that might come with the train, when it comes to meds I'm obviously afraid of it just failing in general (also idk what are the strongest sleeping meds I can get without prescription in Poland) and when it comes to hanging idk where I would do it and what rope should I pick (if it matters I am around 177 cm tall and weight 58 kg I think)

Trains can cause non fatal injury if they sweep one off the track, or there is bad luck, and it isn't fun.
Generally, OTC sleeping aids aren't that strong.
Also, I'm not a rope expert tho.


PS: Welcome to SaSu, sorry that I had to bring "bad news", hopefully one can find relief and peace from whatever one seeks, and can share that relief around.

I'm not too educated in anything to do with trains but, considering most trains have lights on them, a train conductor or whatever they're called would probably see you and stop? Unless if you're on a corner? It's probably a possibility worth researching incase it could actually happen. Otherwise you might fail and wind up in a psych ward depending on where you are

If that's not a possibility all I can recommend is for you to make sure your neck will be crushed for immediate death

make sure your neck will be crushed for immediate death

Even that might not be immediate:

After her head was severed, the executioner smacked its cheeks while he held it aloft. To the astonishment of the crowd, Corday's cheeks flushed and her facial expression changed into the "unequivocal marks of indignation" [source: Ernle, et al].

Weirdly good read.

I just looked into trains last night because of another user's question and it's got a surprisingly high failure rate. The study I'm linking is a bit old (2000), but it looks at 41 cases of people jumping or falling in front of trains, some on purpose and most not. Of the 9 who did it on purpose, 3 lived. In total, 83% of people lived. And in addition to that, there's just a lot of anecdotal evidence you can find online of people surviving being hit by a train, though not without severe, life-altering injuries.

I think the primary reason for this is that rails have speed limits too, and they're much lower in populated areas. When a train passes in my city for instance, you could be waiting 5-10 minutes for the whole thing to go by because they only go about 30 mph. This allows the conductor to stop the train in less time.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the injury pattern, morbidity, and mortality in pedestrians involved in train accidents. The study was performed in the Hacettepe University School of Medicine, Turkey. Hospital records of 41 cases who were hit by train between the period of 1985-97 were...

Yeah, good point actually

Damn that sucks, but thank you for replying and welcoming me

I honestly didn't know this method was so unsuccessful so thank you for telling me all this

 

[sta8skate]

Honestly i would pick the train, it might not be painless. but depending on the speed and weight of the train, i think your fine.

Trains are (iirc) listed as one of the non methods. Rope has higher SI iirc and failing can also lead to various injuries

But ofc, medications is vague... some medications are able to slow down breathing and/or heart rate to unsustainable (fatal) levels, while others are more likely to cause vomiting, kidney failure, etc in high doses.
