What would it feel like to blow my own skull open

[MisterOGBongWater]

I wonder this often. its one of the few things keeping me away from ending my life so impulsively. Will i feel my skull break before the shell kills me? WIll i really die right away? will i feel it all for a second only to never feel a single thing ever again, like im ripping off a fucked up band-aid?

I suppose it doesnt matter

the pain of blowing my skull into bite sized pieces for a milisecond cant hurt worse than the eternal misery ive been dealt in life.

My brain will always try to kill itself, i think im sick in a way no one can see, or take seriously. i dont want them to anyway, its not like cancer where id wish to know life after healing. healing is the true death sentence. being forced to be comfortably numb till nature takes you one day, i often ask myself whats the rush, followed by a why wait.


Sick or not, i give in and i surrender.
Ill let it take me when the times right, and pull my own plug and end this coma dream nightmare while im still lucky enough.

i surrender myself

If it's with a shotgun or rifle to the head u won't feel anything.

A shotgun shell can travel 1500 feet per second a rifle bullet 3000 fps 3000 feet per second

Pretty hard to say what someone feels when they blow their skull to smithereens, since the dead cannot talk. Personally, I'm of the belief that life isn't extinguished immediately, such as that of a light switch discontinuing the flow of electricity to a light fixture, although even that isn't instananeous.

Would someone be "aware" of their skull being blown to smithereens, even if only for a fraction of a second? I have no idea. But, I'd say the likelihood of feeling "something" is much greater than of feeling nothing.

Never been knocked out from a punch but I imagine that'd be a very mild version of it.
I think there is likely some sensation but highly disoriented and highly dissociated, and also very finite in duration. There are interviews with survivors and that's the impression I get. The scary thing is the capacity for time dilation making an extremely short experience last longer (plenty of recreational drugs can help you experience this) but even so I think the concept of self and what is happening and access to the senses in those milliseconds (microseconds even) will be limited.

Fortunately I suspect many failures except the most unfortunately placed shots will still result in a loss of consciousness or at least high disorientation and lack of awareness for a while. Doing it in a very remote location can make bleeding out a good backup possibility.
