whats your top 5 methods with reasons? here's mine

[knickknack81]

1. Gun (unfortunately they are very difficult to get a hold of where I live) - quick and reliable.
2. Jumping off building - Have access to tall buildings. so high they would basically guarantee death. Just have to get over SI
3. Hanging - Still have to figure out the logistics of doing it right but its something I have easy access to.
4. SN - difficult to Get a hold of but looks the most peaceful.
5. Jumping in front of train - have access to trains where I live but have to get over SI.

1. Morphine Overdose, my ideal ctb.
2. CO, wasn't my first choice but still a great option and easy to pull off when you have the knowledge of what to do.
3. Ligature Strangulation, the pressure put on carotids is euphoric, however it doesn't work on my body sadly.
4. Hanging (Suspension & Partial), most accessible and puts pressure on carotids if done correctly, which like ligature strangulation is an amazing feeling, sadly one again doesn't work on my body.
5. Nembutal, unfortunately even if I was here earlier it would still not be available to me, although from what I have read it is the best way to go.

Honourable mentions to Train Decapitation, Fetanyl Overdose & SN.

3. Ligature Strangulation, the pressure put on carotids is euphoric, however it doesn't work on my body sadly.

why doesnt it work for you?

 

[33K1LLM3]

why doesnt it work for you?

Because when I put the ligature around my neck all I get is a painful feeling in my head, with my lips inflating and my eyes going red. When I press on my carotids to mock ligature strangulation with my fingers, however I get a sensation like no other. Kinda sucks hey.

 

[soon4good]

1. Explosives, because if you had access to them and you could blow yourself up with enough, you'd probably get as close to 100% success rate for ctb possible.
2. Shotgun, because it's shotgun.
3. OD+hypothermia, depending on how well it's planned I'd assume this would be one of the most efficient methods.
4. Hanging, though this one can vary depending on how it's done.
5. Inert gas or SN, I'm not sure which one I'd rate higher because I've likely not done enough research on these two but I do know that they are very effective methods when done right.

 

[oatmeal.n]

#1, hanging or partial hanging. most accessible for me, knocks me out quick, and easy to prep.

#2, night-night. same 2 reasons from before, but hard to accomplish. it was practically impossible for me to find my carotids and i don't have the energy to worry about that rn

#3, #4, and 5, nothing else. either don't seem appealing or too hard to accomplish. ideally I'd go for sn/n/or inert gas, but those are quite literally impossible/near impossible to get where i live.

 

[wishingonstars]

1. SN - seems very effective without a ton of pain/discomfort plus not gory or messy
2. night-night method - seems very peaceful and quick, would be my #1 if not for the fear of surviving and ending up with brain damage
3. inert gas - seems peaceful but very complicated setup and easy to mess up after going unconscious
4. jumping - major downside is it's messy and likely extremely traumatizing to whoever finds the corpse. Plus the high likelihood of backing out due to SI, I do cliff jumping sometimes (into water) and even short drops look so much farther from above looking down. I'd likely go by falling backwards, maybe lean back a bit and then put pressure on my carotid arteries with my hands until passing out causing me to fall backwards (hopefully)
5. drowning - I have a massive fear of drowning so would likely never go through with this but the major plus side of this method is doing it somewhere that the corpse would not be found at least until decomposition was complete. I would weigh myself down so I would sink and stay at the bottom and choose somewhere with very muddy water that was unsafe to swim in plus ditching my phone or anything that could track me and hiking to the location so no one would know where to search or come across the corpse accidentally.

5. Digoxen, amitriptyline, propranolol, other cardiac meds OD: shitty but fatal.

Why do you call them shitty my method is amitriptyline too.

 

[Unknown21]

Why do you call them shitty my method is amitriptyline too.

I just don't like oding on pills generally. They might be fatal but vomitting can occur and you won't be able to drink more unlike SN. Also it's pretty slow. Moreover I don't have any benzos\ sedatives

 

[Cauliflour]

5. stabbing
4. stabbing
3. stabbing
2. stabbing
1. stabbing while hanging
reason: seems fun, leaves a mess of blood

I don't care about efficiency, I care about style! The ultimate self harm cut!

 

[wham311]

Fent
Sn

Norhing else

 

[Eudaimonic]

i have just one: induction of syncope with n2o prior to drowning in a remote lake or pond of sufficient depth; with weights to prevent resurfacing. it's (theoretically) reliable, peaceful, quick, accessible.

nowhere to jump, nowhere to hang, can't get a gun, can't get inert gas, can't do CO, tried and failed to get SN. thank goodness i have this option

 

[Emerita]

1. Full suspension hanging
2. Full hanging
3. Hanging fully suspended
4. FS hanging
5. Hanging but not partially

I have a sense of loyalty to my method. Also very confident I will die from it

 

[exitingtothevoid]

1. Inert Gas - Should be a peaceful way to CTB, and I understand how to do it, so this is my preferred method
2. Full suspension hanging - Backup plan if I need to CTB soon and don't have the stuff for 1
3. Carbon Monoxide - Seems harder to make work than 1 or 2
4. SN - Hard to get, but would be nice as a backup plan if I found it
5. Jumping - Falling scares me, but it is almost guaranteed to work

 

[iwashere]

1. Shooting myself. Mostly because it's quick and especially violent. I feel like because i'm kinda young and a girl, and most people that know me view me as a really silly, fun and outgoing person that if people found out i died because i shot myself it'd be especially tragic. Like, omg, she fucking SHOT herself?!? i'm like salivating at the thought of it because i'm like batshit lol

2. Throwing myself in front of a train. Again, pretty violent but I feel like it would hurt really bad. Just like the first choice, I feel like it'd be insane to hear "she threw herself in front of a fucking train poor girl"

3. Carbon Monoxide. I tried this already and tbh would be my first method if it wasn't so… boring? it's very peaceful. i feel like you don't get the same guttural and visceral reaction to finding that out as opposed to finding out i, say, jumped off the freeway bridge.

4. Hanging. I think hanging is actually pretty tragic, the only reason it's not further up is because i can't figure out how to do it right so ik ts boutta hurt i don't have a high pain tolerance, in fact i have a phobia of pain so i literally need something that'll knock me out in seconds without any sort of discomfort because i will bail, not out of desire to live but because i genuinely cannot handle pain. i dont need my last moments to feel like my eyes are going to pop out of my head and my throat feeling like it's being stepped on by 16 gorillas.

5. SN. I like this one because, if i'm not mistaken, it gets out of your system pretty quick. by the time i'm at the hospital and i'm pronounced dead and they do all the toxicology reports, it'll say there is nothing out of the ordinary and it seems like i died of this weird process somehow. i just don't like it because it could be confused as death by natural causes and idk im trying to make a statement when i go. i don't want it to be confused—-i meant to do this.

 

[kitkat9234]

The only methods I have access to are a years + worth of Lunesta and a bunch of alcohol to either die in a hot car or drowning. Unfortunately not really reliable. Too chicken to try as I'm scared of failing again. So I'm trapped. I wish someone would just put me out of my misery.

 

[r.m.216]

Sn
Opiates

 

[temporal_anchorite]

I don't even have a top 5, only two methods are favorable to me:

1. Obliterating my dome piece with my 12 gauge Mossberg shotgun (intraoral angled upward of course)

2. Inert gas asphyxiation

 

[SufferingInDenmark]

Opiates

which ones?

 

[r.m.216]

which ones?

Any honestly.

H is probably easiest along with fent, then oxy. I think I can't take thise though so only probably first two.

Methodone is another option, but I can't stomach it . It's just accessible because clinics are around and you have money

If anyone is serious about them or darkweb I'm interested

1) Carbon Monoxide. Specifically through charcoal burning, although it's possible to mix certain acids and produce it. Seems like a peaceful way to go out, and it's highly effective despite not being very difficult to figure out. It's my ideal method because I want to listen to music while I die. Also it's not violent and less traumatic to whoever finds me. The only downside is that it's harder to know when you're doing it right or wrong because it's an invisible gas. The worst case scenario in failure is serious brain damage but that's a risk in a lot of suicides.

2) FS Hanging. Extremely accessible and easy if you do things right. SI and the violent nature of the death are the main downsides to this. This is my backup to CO because it's accessible and easy to do. I'd be likely to do this if I failed at CO or if for whatever reason I had to go quickly. A huge fear of mine is being hospitalized, horribly failing an attempt, or being in a situation where I lose the ability to CTB, which is which is the only thing that would lead me to not using CO. Hanging has been around forever and it's not difficult, so it's number two.

3) Jumping. Same reasoning behind hanging, but it's the inferior choice for me. The main reason I have hanging over jumping is because I'd rather do it in a secluded place that has meaning to me. Jumping limits me to basically only a city and also destroys my body more. Jumping is included because it's easy if you overcome SI.

Don't need anything else, loyal to CO unless something goes wrong.

 

[Mytimeisending]

1. Gun
2.SN
3.Gas
4.jump
5. Hanging

 

[unluckysadness]

1- SN (rather N in a perfect world...)
2- Inert gas
3- Jumping
4- Gun (no access)
5- Train

 

[bloominghopelessne]

I will be writing from the perspective of personal preference; the second number indicates the degree of accessibility.
1. Jumping (3)
Advantages: Highly effective, rapid, requires only a single decisive action, does not conflict with aesthetic sensibilities, corresponds more closely to personal conceptions of a "proper" method, produces bodily transformation.
Disadvantages: Strong self-preservation instincts, the presence of bystanders, potential media coverage, not quite accessible.
2. Firearm (5)
Advantages: Highly effective, immediate, requires only one decisive action, aesthetically tolerable, consistent with personal representations of a suitable method, produces bodily transformation.
Disadvantages: None, except the possible need for additional preparation to avoid contamination of surroundings and to ensure containment.
3. Lying across train tracks as the train accelerates (2)
Advantages: Fast, effective, leads to bodily transformation.
Disadvantages: Self-preservation instinct, reliance on correct positioning, non-static in nature, requires precise timing and impulse.
4. SN (4)
Advantages: Effective, does not require travel to an external location.
Disadvantages: Requires preparation, does not result in bodily transformation, misaligned with aesthetic ideals of a preferable method, legally restricted and necessitates external contact.
5. Hanging (1)
Advantages: Effective, accessible.
Disadvantages: Requires preparation, does not align with aesthetic notions of the "best" method, does not result in bodily transformation.
