Help What is the most painless way to CTB

[enddate]

Are any of these ways painless?
I have half a bottle of opioids, I'm not sure if it's painless to go out this way? I've only heard that it makes you unconscious when you OD..
A train is near my house but it goes pretty slow, will this still be a quick death or will this be worse?
I have a bunch of razorblades, about 5 small boxes of them, I'm not sure about efficiency of them though.
Maybe when I go I'll get to be a real girl

Non-methods that should not be attempted

mod note: this has been added to the suicide resource compilation at the top. This has been made in response to the ever increasing amount of posts made about highly unlikely methods. Please read before posting about one of these methods or feel free to link if someone does post about them...

I never thought about using any kind of chemical. I want to go as quickly as possible so my way to go will be either jumping from a skyscraper or decapitation by train.

Train is painless at the time if you you lay down on the track, but the prep is definitely going to be emotionally excruciating

Opiates, alcohol and nod out on the track idk I would do that I if I could.

Ligature strangulation should be pretty painless. Its what im gonna use if I really decide to end it. You can find it on the megathread.

just being near it was fear inducing, when i went to the train tracks and laid down and saw the train coming, it was really another level of scary. a huge hunk of metal coming straight at you, blaring its horns, you gotta have balls of steel to go through with it

You're brave for getting that far. I feel like I might be confident before, then reflexively get up and run. The vibration as it gets closer must start minutes before you die, that just sounds horrendous.

I'll never forget that scene in Inception where they are on the tracks trying to keep eachother calm.

It sounds counter-intuitive given our "brainwashing" about how deadly opioids are but they are horribly unreliable. The train, if you position yourself on that track properly, is probably gonna be your best bet, but as you have already experienced, the SI is brutal. I, personally, have settled on alcohol and opioids to mellow out SI and then using a firearm but I am in a bit of a holding pattern right now ...

Like someone else mentioned, if I were you I would read all the stickied threads about methods/reliability/how-to and then make a decision from there.

I'm sorry you feel so bad that you are asking these questions, but at the same time I am glad you are asking. Impulsiveness rarely "works" when considering options. It is good to work through everything, for one, to make sure this IS what you want. And two, that your journey is as peaceful as possible. I will light a candle for you.

Please read the first few pages of the PPEH. It summarizes years of discussion in the "death with dignity" community. You aren't going find traumatic methods like jumping, train, suicide by cop or getting an alien to burn you with his laser gun. But, it will give a lot of frank information on planned exits.
I am sorry if I sound a bit rough - it might just be the years likely have on you. But the most common reason people, particularly young people, want to go, is emotional trauma from one cause or another. But, this is something that changes with time. What hurts today, might not, some years down the line. Innumerable people who lived or failed to go, would testify to that. The PPEH is one of the legit sources that can give due background.
I'd just say, be sure your reasons to go are solid and time-immutable, that is permanent. Shouldn't be something like, "If I get a good job, or I win the lottery, I wouldn't go."
And if you are you need go, get your prepping right and do not goof it. It only gets much worse if you do.
For comparison: I need to go because of illness - rare enough that I cannot be certified for assisted exit in Oregon or other places. Medical consensus is not yet there, because it's rare and not well-studied in the research literature yet. I almost exited 5 years ago once, and another time 3 years ago. Each time things went south. But, not enough that I'd need exit. So, I pulled back a couple days from D-Day each time. Now, all things, starting with health are sufficiently south for it to be justifiable. Even after all these years of acceptance and keeping an exit kit ready and periodically replenished, I still am not sure about a few things. As you may see from my other posts here.
For, it's just infinitely worse if you botch one of these things.

i'll probably end up echoing the same things mentioned in the other replies, but i hope i can be of help.

opioids are usually painless, but can very unreliable (unless you're using pure fent or h). prescriptions opioids are especially risky because they usually contain anti inflammatory meds that can damage your insides if you survive the od—which you likely will. tbh, just avoid attempting to ctb with any prescription drug.
if you think your train is too slow, i wouldn't even risk it. that's just me, though. plus, the si would be horrendous.
don't even attempt anything with the razorblades. it simply won't work.

pleaseee look through the sticky threads, the ctb resource compilation, and the pph. there is an abundance of information in these resources.

i would also suggest searching the forum, of course. for example, let's say you're looking into ctb with opioids. i would just look up 'opioid' in the search bar and go from there. many people share their experiences with failed attempts and nde's. there are also many people who have witnessed others die from specific methods and they make threads documenting what they saw and even how the other person felt throughout the process (this is most common with sn, but i'm sure there are similar threads pertaining to other methods). this can help you get a good idea of what different attempts could feel like.
still, i think you should use the sources provided in the sticky threads before anything else. at the end of the day, this is the internet and the users here can be unreliable.

also, the pph includes a comfort/lethality/accessibility scale for multiple methods. this site (which is featured in the ctb resource comp) also includes a similar graph:

Most lethal methods of suicide - Lost All Hope

For information on the most lethal methods of suicide, a good starting point is the statistics on the number of successful suicides by method (see Suicide statistics). There is also a much published study from 19951, where 291 lay persons and 10 forensic pathologists rated the lethality, time...

please stay safe, i hope you can find some peace.
