my method is drowning, combined with gas inhalation like butane, propane. I wrote a lot about my method in my previous posts, so I won't repeat. But I want to add that as much as i can, i will try to consciously inhale seawater, or, at least, always keep my mouth open as to allow seawater fill my lungs as much as i can. Temperature is about 10C.

How about you? Will you try drowning at sea, lake, river pool or bath?
I expect that very soon, I will do it.

Honestly speaking, The more I wait, the more I postpone my ctb to a later date, the less my SI is. The stronger my will is to ctb. The less cold water scares me
I won't change my method. I am determined. After one last research about sea waves, currents, undertow and their directions, I will be ready

Considering trying to do it with weighted backpack. May need to tie legs/arms together in water as I'm a good swimmer. Likely to mix in zopliclone, alcohol etc

yes. I have a 10l backpack. I will fill it with sand at sea. Hopefully sand will be enough for sinking. This way, I don't have to carry anything heavy.

Fortunately i can't swim at all and also, coldness will paralyze me
I really look forward to it. My fear and SI are less and less.

I've been thinking about jumping off a bridge in my city and drowning, but its only a thought, not sure if I'd like to actually die that way

all methods have their own weaknesses, disadvantages. I will drown myself but if I can't drown at all, I will inhale some gas until i feel severely dizzy and then quickly swallow stuff like napkins and sand to choke myself
Gas inhalation replaces oxygen, causes hypoxia and asphyxiation without needing to hold breath. Dizziness is result of hypoxia, I think. But after inhalation, i must block my throat , windpipe to prevent oxygen slowly entering my lungs.

Hopefully simply during inhalation, I will experience heart attack and won't need to either drown or choke myself

I did read about some method here where you somehow make yourself dizzy/exhausted and then put yourself in the water to drown quicker, but i forgot what it was called :c

Maybe it was my own post. I think my posts can be accessed by everyone . My profile is not private. Feel free to browse my older posts. I wrote a lot on this method

Even before my ctb, I won't delete my account or set my account as private.
I will always be grateful to this community. I learned a lot here.
This is why my posts and replies are smaller now. I wrote everything I know in my older posts. I Don't want to repeat them. But if I learn something new, I include it in my newer posts and replies
Hopefully inhaling 250-500 ml butane or car tire inflator propane-butane mixture be enough to at least make drowning/choking easier, even if inhaling them will not trigger heart attack

I just view my method like I'm going to take a nice warm bath, and if I drown great. If I don't, I'll take another bath soon. I've already taken a bath passed out on alcohol+benzos, but will try again soon. Maybe I'll try huffing some duster too, idk.


Wish you all the best @curiousbeing

be careful. they can be dangerous if inhaled. Brain damage .

I've been thinking about this for a while. It's my method of choice. My plan is to drown myself in a nearby lake at night. I'm unsure if to drive my car into it or just walk into it with weights attached to myself. Might drink alcohol before. Can't swim, so chances of succeeding are higher. Stupid question, but gas inhalation? What does it do?

I've thought about it, it always seemed like an interesting way to go out for me.

Shallow water blackout
yes, this. I also remember now. It was complicated to try for me
Stupid question, but gas inhalation? What does it do?
people huff them to get high. Can be Dangerous and unreliable, they can cause brain damage. But if inhalation is combined with drowning, it should be very effective. Inhaling them should make me feel severely dizzy, so i won't care too much about drowning

I wrote a lot about it in my older posts

yes. It removes fear a bit and makes me curious. If I hallucinate, what will I see? Will gases trigger euphoria? I am curious
Hopefully next week I will ctb
Assuming my reasoning is correct in my older posts, I can simply hyperventilate, cover my nose with clothes clipper, inhale gas until I feel severely dizzy through hose inside mouth, and then quickly swallow wet napkins, cover my mouth with something like sticky glue mouse trap. Gases inhaled will already have removed much oxygen, so until CO2 slowly builds up, hypoxia will end my life. Both napkins , clippers and mouse trap will ensure my lungs won't get oxygen

No need to drown myself.

I will also consider this method, if I can't drown myself

I really hope this will work.

unfortunately, i think you need to hold your breath for a long time underwater to achieve that (without some sort of additional aid, exertion is required to deplete O2 to the point of blackout), so to have a chance at inducing it you'd need to train like a freediver

the way SWB works is that hyperventilation reduces co2 sensitivity so the diver can hold their breath for a lot longer which in turn makes them hypoxic to the point of loss of consciousness if they deplete O2 reserves sufficiently before the hypercapnic alarm response can trigger. but this also depends on a number of factors such as "inhaled gas fractions, lung volume, metabolic rate, gas exchange kinetics, and individual tolerance." this is why SWB alone is not a reliable method.

Yes. Oxygen removal speed should be faster than CO2 build up speed, so, before CO2 reaches to a level that I will experience suffocation, oxygen levels will drop so much I will already have lost my consciousness

After oxygen levels drop and unconsciousness is present, a person shouldn't wake up again during drowning or shouldn't start automatically breathing if face is above seawater suddenly

It's possible that they could if it occurs soon enough after the initial blackout. This can happen to freedivers who blackout at the surface or just before it

Some resources that may be helpful in understanding the mechanisms behind this method and drowning as a whole (though it is not the same as SWB/underwater hypoxic blackouts):
