What is the closest you have got?

[Aftex]

The closest I have come was taking a paracetamol overdose, this was 1. Before I found this amazing forum and actually did some research and 2. While I was remanded in prison because of my previous attempt.

I took 60 X 500mg paracetamol, I could cope with the pain I was in for the few days after but then I just seemed to recover and all the symptoms disappeared even tho the only person that found out was my cellmate and he didn't alert the guards.

Thankfully I found this amazing forum and realized there are so many better options.

I was close after my last attempt, if I'd been found an hour later then I'd have been done. I took 65g of paracetamol, all I could get at the time. I was kept in hospital for a week, amazingly no lasting effects on my liver but I'm a big guy so they said that helped. Mental effects lasted much longer but I'm working on that now.
I was angry when I recovered my faculties that I had failed again, but I think that after 5 years I'm mostly glad I failed. I dip in to those feelings now and then but I get by, I suppose that's why I come on here.

Daily, my glasses is the closest I venture. Apart, woke up at the hospital after AD + alcohol. It's been a long time I ceased to dare attempting, due to the knowledge I wouldn't miss any longer.

What? How were you in prison for an attempt

 

[Bct]

Already bought SN & the additional meds to ease the process and planned to did it on the next day. Too bad my mood suddenly changed and now I'm unable to CTB due to some circumstances.

What? How were you in prison for an attempt

It wasn't technically for the attempt but the attempt was the reason I went. I did some stupid shit while trying to cope and ended up getting arrested, after being released from custody I made my first attempt.

Even though I had agreed to a voluntary stay on the Psych ward the police decided to remand me since I was a danger to myself so I spent over 2 months inside since everything got postponed due to covid, finally got my day in court and I'm back in the free world now and I've actually done my research this time before my next attempt.

 

[InTheAirTonight]

I completed my stat dose and I opened my SN jar and smelled it. Then I chickened out

 

[Zozo]

OD on heroin+xanax. wound up in ICU cause apparently an ambulance drove through the alley (was homeless at the time) and saw me passed out with the belt still on my arm and needle right next to me.(so I'm told) was unresponsive after being hit with narcan several times. I think I was in some kind of drug induced coma. Woke up 3 days later. I was told it didn't look good and they were telling my family to say their goodbyes.
I made a full recovery.....next time I'll do it inside a dumpster.

 

[Valsalva]

Why

I believe of my three attempts,full suspension hanging I came the closest,I was out for 4 days,I'll go full suspension again for my final attempt if I cannot acquire a gun or a partner with a gun or a partner for another method.

Why did hanging fail?

I'm still in planning stages. I bought stuff for a couple of potential methods, learned how to make a slipknot but didn't try it. Wrote out some financial info to leave behind, deleted some accounts, spent time brainstorming where I'd do it. Hoping to be able to hold out while my parents are still around.

 

[HappyMstake]

I attempted two times the first time I was like 12 and I tried the plastic bag over the head with a rope tied around my head to close it, but I didn't bind my hands like an idiot and ripped into it in a matter of seconds.
Then the second time I tried an OD of 150ct 500mg Tylenol, a bottle of cough spray, and so kind of cleaning product, when my boyfriend broke up with me. As you can tell I didn't really plan much with these two attempts I just found anything that I could and hoped it worked lol.

I'm gonna try CO poising next and actually plan it through this time..

 

[serah]

I put a bag on my head and tried 3 different times the same morning, if it weren't for the aggravation of the plastic going into my mouth I would have done it to completion. My next (and hopefully last) attempt will be by firearm.

Just a simple plastic bag? No helium or anything? I'm thinking of attempting this as well.

 

[Jon86]

I've tried partial probably a dozen times over the past decade. Learned a lot about the method and myself. The guilt and fear really kicks in as you feel yourself losing consciousness, alas I always back out. I'm on disability now, so my stress level is WAY down, I haven't attempted in about a year, no plans to right now. Whether, I die now or die later it doesn't matter, I think i'll always be suicidal, death is one of my only comforts.

I wouldn't advise you to do it. I tried and is absolutely awful. You begin to panic and the plastic just sticks in your mouth and nose while you try to breathe; it also gets unbearably hot.

 

[blueglass]

I overdosed on phenalzine (MAOI) and citalopram.
Gave myself serotonin syndrome.

Woke up in ICU after 5 days in an induced coma on a ventilator.
Still regret waking up to this day.

 

[sadbadpsychogirl]

well, i took a bottle of amitryptyline when i was 17. my mother caught me with the empty bottle and called an ambulance, had to drink activated charcoal(ugh) went home the next day, got scolded by my mother and aunt... recently drank a crapload of antifreeze and nothing happened at all ( i then figured i probably got lucky there) next time there will be no room for failure.

 

[Notwinnernotawin]

Took some pills, almost passed out and got weak, confused and light headed. Tried partial and the only time the knot didn't slip, I gave up. Because I was afraid it would come undone once my body started to trash around then I'd be even more fucked up.

 

[Valsalva]

How come the knot slipped?

Can you please explain how your full suspension hanging went wrong?

I had my head in the noose several times and once I stepped down of the chair, but my SI turned in and I made it back. Just didn't have enough courage

I overdosed on antidepressants when I was 15. Apparently came close to dying.

Is it possible to die from overdosing on antidepressants? I take antidepressants for depression but I read online that death by overdosing on antidepressants is not possible.Maybe that article is wrong.

That's so sad. That's my biggest fear too. Someone finding me before my death is finished.

As someone with no actual method yet I'm at least going to attempt it to see how it would be, but I appreciate you advicing me against it.

You could overdose on water if you're so determined. It's just a matter of practicality and comfort. I'm sure they do everything they can to make antidepressants difficult and uncomfortable to overdose on, however.

I think it's possible but unlikely. Tricyclic antidepressants are more lethal than other kinds e.g. amitriptalyne

 

[LMLN]

I almost died from hanging. But I came back after my feet touched the floor. I blacked out and when I came to, I hardly remembered what happened. Nasty rope burn :(.

 

[Partial-Elf]

• Age 22: while very drunk and despondent and experimenting with partial for the first time. I was surprised by how fast I lost consciousness, didn't necessarily intend to die that night. Got close (faded vision, sound in ears, body spinning or pulsating)
• Age 23: during my brother's college graduation ceremony, I put a date in my calendar. I had already learned the knots and bought better rope and a door anchor
• Age 24: I was on a day trip for work and couldn't stop visualizing putting my shotgun in my mouth and pulling the trigger. I knew I would do it in my car and picked a nice nature preserve about 45 mins away
• Age 25: more partial practice come too close to the line. All the weird feelings... then I had a very hard time standing up and getting my balance. Wasn't sure if I'd be able to get the noose off but I did

I haven't attempted yet, just assembled my methods and made sure I knew how to use them effectively

 

[Justinian]

Doing "test runs" for SN except with normal table salt lol. Like just checking what it's like to do the measuring and weighing and mixing and how I might feel.

It felt pretty good!

Can you tell us how it felt? The taste? Any throat or stomach pain? Did you feel nauseous?

They saved me in the ICU because they had an antidote to my poison of choice back then. I od`ed on DXM & Naloxon saved me. Spent around 36 hours in ICU, doctor wasnt really upset or angry with me, but ofc she was not happy to see such a young man almost killing himself. I was close to death, but I forgot the empty pill packages somewhere in my jacket, so they assumed it was what i took (they were right) and treated me for it. I should have thrown them away or used some decoy packaging, but I was too drugged. I barely remember much of that time.
