Why did you survive your attempt?

Failed due to SI and not being mentally prepared. I'm older and know better now, figured out what will help me succeed. Currently in the mental preparation stage. Not sure how long this will last but hopefully I'll be able to attempt again and succeed soon.

Method if I may ask.
Trying to figure out my own after a failed attempt. Been doing alot of reading here. Just curious on personal experiences.
Thanks. And good luck.

Hanging. As for overcoming SI, I find that alcohol helps me. Others use benzos. Best of luck in finding what works best for you

First time: too young didn't know a bottle of 60 antihistamines wouldn't kill me. Woke up fine the next day and had to go to school like normal.
Second: unscheduled maintenance on my apartment
Third: classmate found me
Fourth: bad med combo caused it, the med's ld50 was to high to be fatal(most impulsive one by far)
Fifth: amitriptyline/librax combo from hell. My mom found me and tried to force me to throw up then took me to the hospital via ambulance. Spent nine days in a coma, but 17 days total in the hospital. I did avoid the psych hospital though
Sixth: stupidly went to a spot that someone knew about. Hadn't talked to them in forever, but I didn't consider this person when planning and she's a snitch. Blade went dull and due to scar tissue from a previous surgery I couldn't get to my right radial artery, so I had to settle for 3/4 of the intended arteries. Hgb was a 9.2, but they didn't do transfusions so it's still kind of low now. Felt my heart stop and the world go quietly blank only to be startled awake 4 hours later by a sternum rub from on a sheriff as he tried to id me.

It will be lucky number 7 for me!!

0 research + hospitalization
I took 900mg DXM, that's not gonna kill anyone

Life seems so fragile yet when you want to end it, it almost seems indestructible.


Such very true words
