Discussion What's the stupidest unorthodox way you've tried to CTB?

[EG1141]

(I've posted this before, but it was months ago and I'd like to hear some new answers!)
Is there a way that you've tried to CTB that, in hindsight, seemed stupid, unique, or just weird? For me, I took over a gram of DPH (Benadryl). It was extremely traumatizing and painful. I was in full delirium, and I had multiple seizures. The next few days after this attempt, I couldn't even get out of bed, it hurt so bad. I think this just shows how immoral and unethical our laws are. Since we don't have access to humane and painless methods, or MAiD, we have to resort to methods as I did.

Trying to stab an outlet with a full metal knife that didn't fit in. I got so desperate I sarted going nuts and stabbing the outlet with all my strength and as fast as I could. I felt like I was stabbing the life I hate.

Tried to drown myself in a river, didn't work lol. Terrible idea

Sadly I was pulled back before I could even make it to the street. I was an overly emotional teen going through a med wash and the staff at the ward I was in did NOT know how to handle me.

Any specific reason why it unfortunately failed?

7g of coke in under 24 hours. It was a hell of a high. Until it wasn't…

 

[Zhendou]

I tried to inhale the water from the shower and tried to suffocate myself with my bedsheets. Both times SI took over and I was unsuccessful.

 

[timetodie24]

I mixed ethylene glycol (pure not antifreeze mix) with pepsi max . Wasn't that bad actually . Hard to describe but Like a slightly sweet and thick vodka coke but made my lips go numb.

Me tylenol pm I was 18 though in my defense

 

[huntermellow]

not weird or unorthodox but stupid cos it would have never worked. trying to od on aspirin/heart medicine/paracetamol all separate times. i didn't use enough at all like i thought i did and i wish i knew pill overdoses are never fatal and only cause pain if you actually use a lot.

Why did you fail? Because the water is not deep enough?

 

[korra]

I haven't really tried anything unique just cutting and it wasn't really to try to catch my bus but more to relief the pain... Last week I thought of something funny, while going back from work I really rushed... I finished up around 10:00 PM, was super tired, smelly from working in the sun, and high as duck... So I was speeding VERY speeding I'm talking 190 kmp at 70 zone (and although it wasn't that fast it was very fast for me, I don't live in Europe we don't have that fancy high speed roads)... So I thought to myself for few seconds what if I just turn the wheel a vet to the right and crash into that SCANIA? It's probably transporting coal or logs to a power planet or something like it's mostly loaded with something heavy as duck, if I'll crash into it there's no way I'll make it out alive... That was a terrible stupid idea and they almost did that, if I'll do that I'll just suffer in a hospital for a few weeks or months and then final fukin die and end that stupid fuckin suffering

 

[Gone soon]

I tried to hang myself when I was totally drunk. I failed completely because I didn't know what I was doing.

The most stupid idea which I didn't finalise was to jump from the balcony of my parents' house which is on the first floor

Damn! Seems to be the way for many unfortunately

i tried to od on valium. i didn't realize it wasn't really possible. just slept for days pretty much.

 

[alltoomuch2]

I did the same thing actually. I took about 300 benadryls and my legs felt extremely heavy and my heart was racing like I was going to collapse. I just went to sleep and the next thing you know, I woke up in a hospital bed. I had no memory of it, but I had spent the past few days hallucinating out of my mind and having seizures. Allegedly I was screaming in terror like I saw a monster or something and I could only talk in gibberish. I think that was because I was around people I have bad memories with. When the ambulance arrived I had technically CTB and was brought back via defibrillator. I was completely blue and everything. It would've worked had nobody found me.

It honestly was a very peaceful way to CTB, I would do it again if I knew for a fact nobody was going to come and visit me.

Respect for managing to down 300 tablets of anything. Won't throw mine away then. Plan B or C

Did something similar the other day. Was doing the face in water thing of TIPP and suddenly had the urge to inhale. Obviously didn't work. Coughed for ages. Sink was probably due a clean too uurrgh

Benadryl can kill you, but it's so varied on the dosage amount. I know people who have died from like 600mg, as well as people who have survived 2000mg+. So if you do chose to CTB this way, be careful :3

Thanks. I didn't realise it was so variable. Hopefully it's just plan B or C then

 

[QueenBoo]

I tried to CTB by punching myself repeatedly in the back of the head. I knew it was extremely unlikely to do anything, I was just hoping beyond hope that it would happen somehow.

 

[Oeoe3]

Pretending to be very fond of sweets for a year just to have an excuse for when I get diabetes. I know, very stupid. It only left me with skin problems and addictions to sweets-being so used to the taste. Plus diabetes does not instantly finish the job(I was even fully aware that).

 

[to fall to winter]

1. Trying to choke myself with just my hands. Stupid for a multitude of reasons.
2. Tried to overdose by taking ten random pills. Literally didn't do anything, didn't feel sick at all.
3. Walking around in the woods for a while hoping to attract some wild animals that'd just maul me.
