Why dont people talk about slitting?

[riddlerenjoyer]

I don't see many people discussing methods like slitting your wrists or neck, is it because its unreliable or messy? It's far from my prefered method I'm just curious

Because it's a risky and unreliable method. Slitting one's wrists has a less than 2% success rate, it's a self harm method rather than a suicide one, there is a reason as to why this method isn't included in the suicide resource compilation.

If you've SHed before you def know how much deep cuts hurt. And if you want to cut deep enough to die SI will def kick in

I agree with "Funeralcry", if you want to TRY to CTB or you are just crying out for attention slitting is OK, but if you actually want to CTB, this is not a reliable method. Only you can decide which you want more, the attention or to really CTB.

Bleeding to death is slow, painful, and terrifying. The shock can make you vomit, the fear and adrenaline kick in and your brain is screaming at you to save yourself. You will be awake to watch the doctors stitch you back up again.

No thanks.

I cut myself recently (until 2 months ago). I did try to see how deep I could go. Although I have no "values" to measure or compare how deep I actually got, it becomes FAR MORE painful the further you try to go.
As for using this as a method to CTB, I did my research on it. Statistics will tell you it will most likely fail. So naturally people will suggest a method with a much higher success rate or chance.
I did conduct research on this and looked for every possible information that might be useful. I believe that if you plan this correctly and have the necessary recourses (details which I will not disclose here), then this method can get you the desired outcome. It still won't prevent any of the physical pain, however.
And even then, other influeces are risking this method to fail. Like when you haven't bleed to death yet and get found, then that's it.

There's a guy on reddit who hacked almost his entire forearm really deep with a HUGE gash and he lived although he did panic and call for an ambulance. It's just a really difficult method with a low success rate.
