What factors did you take into account when choosing your method?

[cassxtho]

The thought of ctb failing really is so horrifying to me and is what I fear.

Failing to CTB makes life 100x worse. People's reactions to my failed attempts have made my mental health so much worse. I'll never understand why most people feel like the best way to "prevent" someone from attempting again is to make them feel guilty or deprive them of their basic human rights, even if it is temporary. My first attempt had the worst reaction, I don't think I'll ever recover from the way I was treated.

Of course, all of this is on top of the fact that you're almost immediately thrust back into the existence you desperately wanted to escape from.

The most important factors for me were the chances of success, the repercussions related to failure, and the pain involved in the method.

For those reasons I chose SN as well.

My method is hanging

As a teenager, I tried to kill myself by hanging. I passed out once the cloth tightened around my neck. But I woke up on the floor, when I guess the noose of cloth unwrapped.

So I guess in some ways I have chosen hanging again because I had an experienced that worked (I passed out even if the noose untied) and I don't remember that it was particularly painful.

So it's the devil I know.

Shotgun to the head. It's brutal, I want a closed casket and it's extremely reliable if done correctly.

I would like to die in my bed, privately in my house, falling asleep one last time. So SN would be my choice if I could be able to obtain it.

The main factors are peacefulness, reliability, and the state my body will be left in. I hope to leave as little of a disturbing scene as possible for whoever finds me. The ideal method would be N, but without a reliable source I am contemplating SN or partial suspension. I am unsure which would be less disturbing to find.

I have chosen full suspension hanging. I can do it in the privacy of my home, there are several places to do it (I'm short so even a door works for me.. it's not my first choice of place but I take it into consideration), the materials are accessible and cheap, it is fast... in less than 1 hour you leave this world forever (and if I manage to lose consciousness before 15 seconds, I won't notice anything). Plus, you can practice tying knots, and finding the exact position before trying it.

The bad side is the scene, it is ugly, a body hanging lifelessly from the neck. It is better to cover the face and wear clothes that leave the body as covered as possible.

Factors I took into consideration: Lethality rate, painlessness, accessibility, simplicity.

My method is full suspension hanging.

Lethality rate is one of the highest. Relatively painless and quick. Very accessible and simple. Can be done at any location, any time, as long as there is an anchor point somewhere.

I have also considered drowning, with attached weights to my body. It's quite a certain and safe method too, but for some reason, drowning scares me more than hanging. It's slower. Finding a location can be problematic too. However, it could be a good option if I didn't want my body to be found.

Guns are not available in my country. But that would be a good one too.

I thought about jumping, but the survival rate is too high. I don't want to risk surviving an attempt.

 

[Boots2Scoots]

Peacefulness, availability, and body presentation. -- before I got really bad, I was an avid firearm owner. And while I always thought that could be the escape if needed, when it came time for it, I thought about how disfigured my head would be and as much as I could care less how I looked (because I'd be dead), I can't leave that scar on my family/gf. I'd want to be able to see me one last time as I feel it'd help bring them some sort of closure. So my method of choice is CO via charcoal. Quick, easy, relatively painless, and my body wont look crazy weird.

Peacefulness, reliability, and easy access.

-Condition of body when found
-Possible long term effects of a failed attempt.

 

[blackIronPrison]

Partial hanging.

Ease of access, nearly 100% certain to work if you're left alone for 30 minutes and are positioned right (realistically I'll probably go undiscovered until my rent is late lol) and if you can overcome SI.

Also for me personally SN is just out of my price range. Without the peripheral AE and benzos I know I'll just puke it up and I certainly can't afford those.

 

[Michi_Violeta]

Effectiveness, availability, and reduced suffering. I don't want to writhe in agony for a long time and I don't want to put my family through an attempt.

Going with a chloroquine overdose because I couldn't find SN here and can't wait until it arrives from halfway across the world. The PPH says it's effective and here's hoping zopiclone would be a good substitute for benzos because I can't get benzos either.

In order of importance:

The experience;
Reliability;
Consequence in case of failure;
Ease of access; and
The aesthetic of the act.

Full suspension hanging because once you step off no way back and it's quick
