What was your method before joining SS?

[willitpass]

i tried partial in 2017 and came very close to death but unconscious SI kept me from going the whole way. i also attempted drowning via hypothermia 5 months ago without consulting SS and didn't even come close to death. now i have sn and am just waiting for the right time, i don't know yet when that will be

Jumping was the only method i had at the start when i was around 14 years old i wanted to go that way but obviously i didnt have access to buildings at that age, then after couple years i found what N was and wanted to do that, but my life was still ongoing then so i thought id stay and give it a shot also had no way of affording to buy it back then, so my life got better in the last 2 years but now its the worst its ever been with no hope of improving again, so i came here and found SN, which will be my method now for sure

 

[whitelacedress]

My method is still the same, but I got more information on it here

 

[Mooshi]

Before here, my method was to just wrap a belt around my neck and pull it super tight until I felt like fainting, then hook it in place. Now it's SN.

 

[GoBack]

Overdoses, so many overdoses so many pills. All it did was wreck my body bit by bit

 

[HappyMstake]

I was just gonna rely on another OD before I came here, now I think I'd rather just do full suspension hanging. I can't get everything I need for SN so hanging it is..

 

[MsMaudlin]

Hanging, I had never even heard of SN before!

Before SS, my method was going to be decapitation using a 75 foot long and 3/4" to 1" thick nylon rope tied to a tree, with the hanging end being around my neck while in my car. I think this is still the method I am going with, except that I have refined my original plan a little bit after coming here.

I sometimes consider using SN, since I had no idea that people used it to CTB until I found this site, but I'm not sure that I am patient enough to go with that one and it comes with some unpleasant symptoms for some people. I think I would prefer to be stoned and shout "YOLO!" as I slam on the gas and my head comes off. It's a bit gory, but quick and easy if the rope is the right length and type for it.

I found SanctionedSuicide after few days from my last attempt with partial hanging. Earlier I was planning short drop hanging, even I went to forest with rope three or four times, but fortunately I didn't found right branch. Then I have attempted partial in home few times.
Now, I'm considering an exit bag with helium or partial.

Hanging was my preferred method.

 

[livingded]

jumping, its still the same

 

[Notwinnernotawin]

I had cutting my wrists and drowning in mind before joining

 

[Broken Chimera]

My method was train decapitation, but now it's SN.

 

[pillow933]

Jumping in front of a train. I knew which station and the times at which I could do it, but deep down I think I knew it would be incredibly difficult in the moment to push myself over the edge. Combined with the effect it can have on the driver and whoever would have to clean up, I'm glad I found this forum. Currently my method is SN.

I really thought I could just stab myself in the heart and die instantly tbh

 

[Brokenwithbpd]

I always thought I was going to go by hanging but now it will be SN

 

[HappyMstake]

I was gonna OD again on acetaminophen and if that didn't work try to cut deep enough to where I bleed out. Two of the most unreliable methods.

 

[Aliali1992]

It was jumping.

 

[Vault of Memories]

I was going to drive hours to jump from the New River Gorge Bridge.

This is such a good thread. It shows how educational ss is, saving people from doing something dumb like od-ing on paracetamol! Before ss I thought I could die by cutting my wrists. I still wish I could do it that way but know now it's ineffective.

 

[Pryras]

Overdose was my first choice but after reading about it more and surviving it twice I'd rather choose SN or Fentanyl.

I'm experiencing an overdose as I'm typing this and i feel like shit. I'll never take that much again it's so painful

Hanging

 

[Stavrogin]

I was planning on hanging from a tree, but have recently thought that I'll go full suspension using a good brown leather belt I have (tried and tested back when I was 18). Since coming across SN on this site, I might look into it while I'm still around.

 

[octavian]

Definitely OD too, or jumping off of a bridge. Actually tried that 2 years ago, got an impulse out of nowhere that I should jump, so I tried. The bridge wasn't very high but big trucks passes by every seconds. I was just hoping on getting run over.

Sadly a passerby grabbed me before I could jump.

Now I guess partial hanging would be my preferred method, I've already started planning things out.

 

[Brick In The Wall]

I was kinda torn between shotgun or partial hanging. Now it'll either be 2M2B, SN, or SA, I have all 3 to choose from.

 

[Intheo]

Most preferred method would be via gun. Something big enough like a .45 to make sure I'm dead. Plus I like guns and something about the destructive nature of it feels satisfying to me.

I sometimes think getting mauled by a bear or getting eaten by a shark is good too. The violence of it entices me and plus I'll be food for something else.

But there are no guns or sharks or bears here, so SN it is.

 

[WinterFaust]

Prior to finding SS, according to my journal (my memory is currently awful) I was planning on jumping from a bridge and drowning because I can't swim. I was aware it would be painful but at the time, I already knew cutting and ODs were largely unsuccessful. I also can't own a gun.

After coming to SS, I attempted partial but SI kicked in and I wasn't able to compress the carotid arteries. Settled on SN a couple months ago.

 

[TheWalrus]

I electrocuted myself a few times about a year ago but my dad found me before I could deliver the final blow. I now plan to try drop hanging in a month.

Hanging

 

[NoPlaceForme]

I had a couple. Originally I ordered a bunch of sleeping pills but they got seized only because I told someone of my plan. Being young for whatever reason it didn't cross my mind and I hated myself afterwards. Unable to buy another method I planned my suicide with windex Took a sip and for fear of injury I gave up and in a desperate attempt I drank as much water as I physically could trying to die that way. I gave up realizing it was hopeless and many things happened from then on. Been through help since. If weren't for this site I'd soon be leaving by either strangling myself with a ziptie or overdosing on otc drugs in desperation.
