Whats your method of choice and why?

[Alexandra0]

SN. Because I don't have the willpower to pull the trigger of a shotgun. I've cried so many tears over this. I'm a worthless slug!

 

[33K1LLM3]

Honestly don't know yet, but I'm personally set in on anything that constricts the carotids

 

[tsumihoroboshi]

I always wanted to go by train. I want a method that leaves my body mangled and unrecognisable. I'm too ugly to be seen by others alive, I don't want others to see such a hideous creature in death too. Gun is the only realistic option. I've tried ODs and other methods, they didn't do anything because my heart wasn't in it and they were too half-assed.

 

[Sweet Tart]

I can't bring myself to do anything violent to my body or put it in harm's way, which limits my options. For years, I've debated about insulin or SN but the lack of certainty that they would work is a huge deterrent. I am determined to never be admitted to a psych unit, so the possibility of failure feels very high stakes for me. Also, failing with insulin or SN could result in various kinds of organ damage & health problems that would make my life so much worse. Ugh.

This poem kind of sums it up

Resumé
by Dorothy Parker

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.

 

[Akashaaa]

Hanging in a remote forest. At least I'll be of use to the animals there.

 

[Dusk till dawn]

Any potent CNS depressant (propofol, thiopental, etc) injected intravenously

 

[Corovaner]

SN. Because I don't have a pistol.

That the first time I read that ! How can you do this ?

 

[Seaofsleep]

Ligature Strangulation.

It's cheap and accessible.

Stupid question maybe.. is this just hanging?

 

[EchoWanderer77]

good old hanging. simple, accessible, painful but not gruesome like falling from a height. ive already have everything set up. But i didn't go through it so i admitted myself to the psych ward. But here i am again.

 

[wham311]

Old age.

Default.

It's not. I'm not a common criminal to meet my end dangling from a noose.
@Seaofsleep

this is how it works

I haven't studied partial hanging much and I haven't had the means to do so because of no reliable anchors at home and also considering I live in a cramped space with lots of people and no privacy.

Partial hanging seems psychologically more difficult because you could just always stand back up. With partial there's also more variables to consider imo so more room for failure. Also needs an anchor which could break. Reliability wise, if you know what you're doing it will definitely work.

The principles i outlined here some are transferrable to partial anyway.

With the method i detailed, you can't really go back easily after you tie the last knots unless you have a pair of scissors.

Users such as @Prime have settled for ligature strangulation (my type of method) instead of partial because they struggled. Many users seem to struggle with partial. Evelyn Lane recommended full suspension.

@Prime
@Himilayan
@Ritaly
@Seekingawayout and many other users as far as I know used methods similar to mines

Extra info:
The method you see, simulates the pressure of hanging and tourniquet and also the pressure you put on carotids with your fingertips that makes you black out. With adequate, sustained pressure.
In the literature, 5-10kg can compress carotids. That can be readily applied with thin ligature and sustained. No matter how it is tied on the leg, it will hold.

it's more like tying a really, really tight scarf to feel nice and warm, falling into a deep slumber never to be woken again.

I ended up down the rabbit hole shortly after my reply and I think I've found my method. lol

 

[seekingpeace88]

S

I keep seeing SN, what's SN? Also I'd probably choose hanging cause it's the easiest, least messiest, and in my personal experience pretty peaceful and quick.

Ligature Strangulation.

It's cheap and accessible.

SN is sodium nitrite! Meant to be effective but hard to get hold off

It's definitely going to be SN for me.Luckily I have tons of it.

And no, please don't DM me for the source.

Spoiler

Sorry guys, I don't actually have it. I just wanted to say that last line like everyone else . Please indulge me this once.

If only we could just get tons of it

 

[MourningFlower]

If I can find some, SN. I have a good stock of chloroquine, too, which I have read has the same effect, you just need a larger dose. The idea of spending my last moments vomiting doesn't fill me with joy, but then, life, as with CTB isn't easy. I don't think I could hang, or jump, although I've considered both.

TikTok - Make Your Day

this girl attempted by train and she lost and arm but is still alive.
Also there's a train i used to take often and it slows down a lot before some stations where people are more likely to jump (if that makes sense?) its something to think about

yeah the train method doesn't work anymore bcus the trains here are all cargo, they're incredibly slow. there's also to much room for error.

 

[Namelesa]

I would prefer something like jumping with it being a method you can't back out of or at least SN for its little pain as I have low pain tolerance which I would worry that would stop attempts mid way through with methods that had quite a bit of pain and something I could back out of but... I can't access them nor any other good method so fluff me.

btw @tsumihoroboshi good profile picture. Toko is my favorite character in Danganronpa.

 

[Bad Ending]

If I could choose it would be fentanyl, but realistically SN

 

[TheVanishingPoint]

Because it's like this.

You hike down the Grand canyon and it's 120 out and you're dying. You can't wait to hit the river and get water. Its all you can think about.

But you get closer and the river is freezing and the air has cooled and now you're just left with unpalatable dirty water.

Does anyone want to be shot in the mouth with a shotgun in a vacuum? Bc that's what it becomes

You didn't find dirty water. You never reached the river.
What you encountered was fear, dressed as metaphor — hesitation disguised as wisdom.
Death is not a broken promise.
It's simply something you didn't have the courage to face.
And you went back to the heat, not because life had changed, but because you never truly left.

I wouldn't be so keen on that perspective. I don't doubt your facts, but sometimes fact is stranger than fiction. I had an incident a few years ago. A gentleman was trying to ctb, and put the barrel under his chin and sent it. His jaw absorbed so much of the energy that when the shot got to his upper palette, the roof his mouth, is was projected out instead of up. Blew the entire lower half of his face off, but he was alive, conscious, and breathing. He survived.

Sorry, but your story doesn't hold anatomically or ballistically. A shot from under the chin must go through the mandible, then the soft palate, and into the brain. If someone survives, it's due to bad angle or weak weapon — not because the jaw 'absorbed energy'. This sounds more like a fear-dressed anecdote than a technical account.

 

[Terrible_Life_99]

I'll do full suspended hanging. At the beginning I wanted to jump but then I thought it'd be too risky so researched which method would be the safest. Then I learned all the knots and ordered a good polyester rope. The rope is here since December 2024 and I'm still here…..

 

[Thekla]

Hanging because I'm an edgelord and I want to make a bold statement for whoever makes the mistake of walking into my room.
Maybe I'll even buy some fake blood and paint it onto my wall in big bold letters like "YOU DID THIS" lol

 

[Unknown21]

SN
Cardiac meds
CO (need to alone, not possible for me in the near future)
Hanging while inhaling chloroform to sedate me. (Also need to be completely alone)

 

[tyrcap]

Sodium azide/SA.

I got my hands on some. Loaded it into multiple enteric pills. Just need to swallow them, wait a hour or so, and then drink a few grams of the powder.

No possible antidote. One way trip

 

[purplesky9]

Mine is SN. I've considered a gun and hanging but I'm not sure I can do through with those.

My preferred method is SN. The problem is it might not work because I don't have a large bowel. I've had surgery to remove it. So I'm not sure I'll be able to absorb enough SN to kill me.

 

[wham311]

Spontaneous combustion

 

[DoomCry]

My chosen method of suicide is without a doubt the firearm. It's reliable, practical, and fast. Everyone I know, or people known by those around me, who have used a firearm to end their life either died instantly, a few hours later in the hospital, or before even arriving there. There hasn't been a single case of someone surviving with permanent damage, contrary to the fear-driven stories promoted by pro-life medical narratives. The so-called "survivors" are always the same few faces, repeated in every article, and almost always they shot themselves in the face without ever placing the barrel inside the mouth. There are no documented cases of survival after a well-placed intraoral shot with a firearm exceeding 600 joules. Yet those stories keep being used to create fear. Medicine, in fact, deliberately avoids distinguishing between different cases: they mix failed suicide attempts, missed shots, attempted murders, grazing wounds, and hunting accidents. This way they build the narrative that any method can fail, so don't even try. But if you look at real facts, this fear doesn't hold up. Even in mass suicides like Jonestown, over 900 people took cyanide and not a single one survived. If every method were really so uncertain, half of them would have made it. Those who base their view on real-life experience rather than on what pro-life medicine pushes know the reality is different: we don't see people around us paralyzed from hanging or disfigured from failed gunshots. Those who act with clarity do it and die. If someone wants to scare themselves, they can do it with their own shadow. But those who look at facts instead of statistical fairy tales know the only real danger is misinformation. In the end, it must be said clearly: the so-called "suicidal person" who spends their time spreading stories of failure and unsuccessful attempts is not a suicidal person at all. They are simply someone who lives poorly and lacks the courage to end their life, and so they spend their time terrorizing others. They cling to rare case reports and try to smear them across the entire reality of suicide. Most of the time, they are people who live in countries where firearms are inaccessible, or even if they live where guns are legal, they suffer from mental illness and would never be granted access to a weapon. It's the classic story: when the fox can't reach the grapes, it says they're sour.

 

[bananaolympus]

SN my last attempt (jumping) was very violent and underwent a long recovery to walk again

How are you going to manage that? Afaik heart rate can be slowed but not stopped altogether
