Which method(s) would you never do and why?

[_Minsk]

for me its gun and hanging. I know many like these methods though. I don't rule them out completely but I would go for other ones if I can
Both seem quite brutal to me
What about you?

 

[oooops]

probably jumping in front of off something, i was never able to actually physically move and actually jump whenever i got the opportunity. tried hanging many times but SI is too overwhelming.

 

[dolemitedrums]

I'm never setting myself on fire, for several reasons...the pain, the gruesome corpse and scene, living disfigured if I don't die, it being potentially dangerous to others while ablaze, and so on.

I'm never jumping in front of a train or a truck or a bus because that is extremely unfair to the driver...not just to make them see it but to make them complicit in and part of the act.

And the other thing about those methods is the high probability that you survive. Plenty have been hit by vehicles and survived. And if you survive 1 of these methods you're probably going to be extremely disabled probably for rest of your life.

Yeah like they say in carpentry and construction, measure twice and cut once. Just find something that will almost surely put an end to things with next to no chance of being rescued as a freak or a vegetable or otherwise disabled.

It's better to ask which methods I WOULD use, because there are almost endless dumb ways to die (or fail to die)

 

[astonishedturnip]

Slitting wrists, always made me squeamish when I saw it being done in media. The fact that it's not even a reliable method just makes it worse.

I've been back and forth on hanging but I generally don't like any pressure on my neck nor would I enjoy the helpless feeling for suspended hanging. Plus I always considered discovery of a body when hanging to be super ghastly. But with so few reliable methods that leave the body intact (i.e. less traumatizing for loved ones to identify) I feel like I'll have to come around to it eventually if I lose courage with my GSW + backwards jump method.

I think cutting wrists seems too painful and messy and with no good result

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I'll never jump because of the View From Halfway Down poem from Bojack Horseman. I'm already terrified of heights so the thought of jumping to die only to regret it halfway through whole time itself slows down is terrifying.

Most people who try cutting wrists fail because of this false notion people have that cutting the superficial veins on your wrist will cause you to bleed to death. Only if you have a blood disorder like hemophilia. In order to succeed you need to cut way deep and sever an artery.

 

[lnlybnny]

Self immolation, drowning, stabbing are some that come to mind

 

[Praestat_Mori]

I would never do, gun, jumping, drowning, train, stabbing. Too much coward, those methods are too cruel.
I would also exclude hanging but if there is absolutely no other way and nothing else is available I would accept full hanging

gun because getting guns where I live is difficult
Paracetamol overdose and slitting wrists because they're not effective
Drowning because I hate water

 

[Nikitatos]

Jumping is the hardest.

I guess it depends on your personality. If you're familiar with guns and don't mind violence, guns are probably easy for you. Any of the violent stuff I think is hard......jumping, guns, hanging, trains, etc.

I suppose it shouldn't matter as long as it's effective. CO and SN are my preferred methods.

Those cyanide pills that soldiers take in movies look so perfect. They put it in their mouths and seconds later they're dead. I doubt it works like that in real life.

 

[Beyond_Repair]

Jumping. Mostly because I know I could not make myself do it

 

[the_path_of_sorrows]

SN, one of my worst fears is throwing up.

 

[Linda]

I would never use any method that involves any kind of violence. If I ctb, I want to go peacefully.

 

[Worndown]

Jumping.

 

[Dark Window]

Drowning
Self immolation
Cutting

 

[alltoomuch2]

Burning because I imagine the pain must be unimaginable until your nerve endings are burned off.
Paracetamol because others on here who have attempted say its unreliable and the pain is excruciating.

 

[Gone soon]

I would never jump in front of a train. It would affect too many innocent people

 

[tankapi]

I would never jump in front of a train. It would affect too many innocent people

It's humiliating but I used to think this, and now have second thoughts because I'm too desperate to come up with a way out. But I Googled local suicides by subway train and they have a 50% chance of surviving to the hospital...it doesn't seem worth the risk of survival. The stats didn't say who died at the hospital.

 

[lost_ange2211]

Jumping - I would be too scared and count the seconds till I hit the ground, to be full aware of what's going on during the fall.

SN - way too many chemicals and imo too unsafe, just the chance that you can vomit and it will fail? Nope.

Hanging - the possible failure and then being disabled or something is not worth the risk imo.

And all the stuff where others are involved. I want to die at peace, alone, not cause accidents or anything.

 

[ToMoveOn]

I would never set myself on fire. Too painful.

After I'm dead I'd like to be cremated. though.
