Method Would jumping infront of a train make me a shitty person?

[barelyhere]

Probably. But I don't have many other surefire options. If I mess up again I'll probably never be allowed of the house. Right now the meds are locked up,knives are locked up, fucking scarfs are locked up at home.

I don't have much options. I need to die but can't. I just wish I could be allowed to die or assisted suicide was legal so I wouldn't have to resort to this.

Is there any other surefire way I can do?

 

[Heavenbound]

I know you're hurting and I'm sorry.
I can't really speak about methods because I'm still learning myself, and I don't think we're supposed to on here, not sure.
However I would think twice about jumping in front of a train. It seems to me that there is more of a chance that you could survive but be severely disabled.
That's just my thoughts for what it's worth.
I really don't think that there is any sure fire way. You just have to do research and figure out what you feel would be best for you.
I hope you can find some peace in all this.

I don't consider those people to be selfish because you have to be in some dire fucking straits for that to look attractive to you. I can understand why others view it as selfish though. It's extremely traumatizing.

 

[my-end]

Sorry your struggling with this, it must be difficult. It's a shame we must deal with this with limited means. Nothing will matter after you're gone. I once knew a guy who drove trains, he said he's seen a lot of things. He didn't seem bothered by it. The train always wins.
Good luck.

 

[Kundalini Guy]

Nope, rather fuck this world for not giving us easier options to exit.

 

[SoftWorries]

I was taking a long train trip years ago and it was postponed the entire night because someone had jumped in front of the tracks. I sat on the ground beside a wall for 8 hours because all the seats were full of people waiting.

Multiple employees had seen the aftermath and one woman in particular was walking around looking lost and eventually breaking down into tears. I remember her well because I'd considered asking her when the train would be up again and feeling instantly guilty while she sobbed.

I had a work place injury after a murder through neglect happened at work where a man hung to death. I had so much trauma afterwards I never returned to nursing, moved across the country and changed careers.

Being the witness to your death could change the lives of the people involved for the worse.

 

[SilentSadness]

While I would recommend against the train method, I wouldn't view those brave enough to take it as selfish. After all, we are forced to live or use a brutal method for others to clean up so I would place the fault at the people who forced them into that situation without a way out rather than the victim. I also wish assisted suicide was legal, but I know it won't be for a long time as emotions continue to drive peoples' actions. I hope you make the right decision for yourself.

 

[leloyon]

I person don't care in regards to myself, let the whole god damn world see. But morals vary from person to person, so it's your call.

 

[looking_for_peace]

It will undoubtedly traumatize anyone who sees it. With that being said, I have no judgment in my heart for those who ctb using this method. So long as assisted suicide is illegal, this will continue to happen.

 

[Disaster]

Shitty person? I don't believe so. I don't think people should be guilt-tripped into living. I also believe that we should judge the actions and their consequences, not people. For example you could have asked: "would I be responsible for the possible physical and emotional trauma in other people if I jumped in front of a train?" - to which my answer would likely be "you'd be responsible for that, if you're able to understand the consequences". This site is pro-choice, which means that we think that only people who understand the consequences of their choices should have an option to end their lives. Still judging people is a shitty move too, isn't it?
If you post this because you want to be either guilt-tripped for considering it, or to be given green light to do it, I'm not sure if this place will be helpful to you. If I was to make the choice for others, no one would use such traumatic, drastic and painful methods, because other methods would be available. But the whole point of the suicide is to do it at ones own terms, so if you want others to talk you into it or out of it, I'm not sure if it's for you.
Take care.

Yeah I really don't want to hurt people.

I want better options yk.

 

[FuneralCry]

No, of course not, as long as we exist in this anti suicide society where there is limited access to more peaceful methods it's insensitive to complain about those who ctb by train. The problem lies in the fact that there is a lack of acceptance towards the right to die, and pro lifers should be blamed instead if desperate people have no other options to die than brutal methods. It certainly disgusts me how those who want to die cannot just pass away in peace without struggle, it's inhumane to restrict peaceful ways to exit this world.

 

[orca87]

How much pain does someone need to feel to even consider jumping in front of a train?

I'm sorry that you are in such pain.

Sure, it's traumatizing other people if you did. Does that make you a shitty person? I don't think so. Should you do it? No! If you can and must, find another method.

 

[Arachno]

I don't think that it makes you a shit person, like somebody else said here, you are basically saying fuck you to the world for not giving you any other ways to CTB.

 

[SanctionedSquad]

I planned to do this when I was a kid and I just couldn't jump, I was so scared that it would hurt or I would survive.
For your question, in my opinion it is not your fault if you ctb in any way, it is society who made you do this act and then they don't even give legal ctb options or at least don't make it a taboo.

 

[Worndown]

Not trying to be harsh, but YES. You would be asking some innocent person to be the instrument of your death. Not fair to them as they watch you disappear below them and hear a thump.

 

[woknows]

I don't think it makes you a bad person.

 

[Departme]

I don't think its selfish if done properly, there will always be some degree of clean up/trauma in any suicide and this world leaves us no options only harsh choices. Find a tunnel ideally as its dark and place neck on the track, turned away from oncoming direction then wait. Yes scary but if your determined its guaranteed where as jumping has risk and will be more visible and messy. Nobody should see a thing and at also night, it might not even be noticed or audible being such a small relative area of the body but it will work. This is my thinking on method as the others I view carry risk or sound terrifying. I just cant see this failing if you have the conviction and find the right location, rural ideal or out of town so its not all over your local news.

Yes that is how I'm thinking of doing it. Seems the least likely to fail or be saveable if I do it. And hopefully the least noticeable. For the driver. I think some of the trains near me might be automatic ones that have no people on just items. I'm going to try to target those ones so there not too much guilt.

 

[absolomonisgone]

trains. .. a big world. ever wondered the things men have made? ..., like trains. cruising thousands of kilometres in the middle of nowhere.
trains cruising in places we don't even know exist...., trains cruising even right now as i type. some train driver cruising in the middle of nowhere...., what is he thinking?

 

[YEAR2050]

in some peoples eyes, sure. but as the saying goes: "treat people the way you want to be treated". cant speak for you, but ive been treated like i was worthless my entire life, so only fair to give some of that treatment and pain back to the world. if i was to jump infront of a train, i would certainly hope to traumatise people

 

[Worndown]

Fair?

 

[ForeverLonely82]

I going to be evil here and expect to recieve back lash. If jumping front of a train kills you then why do you care? you're dead and consciousness along with it. Sucks for the living sure, but you'll be gone.

 

[hellispink]

you are in all your right to do whatever you see as appropriate to end the nightmare. If i didnt had any choice i would do it. Others dont care about if one dies there or not. They be surprise yes but they will forget about it in a day. People are like that.

 

[leavingsoon99]

That wouldn't make you a bad person. This society is cruel for not allowing nor providing a humane way of leaving "the precious gift".

 

[HaveToEndIt]

I was thinking about it as a method, I don't know if I have the guts to do it.

 

[SexyIncél]

Is there any other surefire way I can do?

Unclear. What resources do you have? Are you able to get a rope? Here's the megathreads. Do any of them work for you?

Would jumping infront of a train make me a shitty person?

Is this rhetorical?

Quick answer: yes -- and you deserve to die!!1


Boring-ass philosopher-wannabee answer:

What's a shitty person? Probably someone who doesn't take others into consideration. Or is cruel for no good reason. But you clearly make moral calculations. So, no

You get to consider your own suffering, even if others don't give a shit about it

In fact, I think it's a moral test of anyone answering. You have zero freedom, even in your own home. You're desperate enough to pop your skull under a train: it'd be shitty of me to call you shitty

People love telling us we're shitty for committing suicide. It'll traumatize your friends, the cleaning lady who finds your corpse, baby jesus, Tantacrul... Should I jump on that pile-on? No, that'd be shitty of me. Just adding to everyone's stress, proving I'm Yet Another compassionless person who's quick to call you shitty without knowing you: THAT leads to more people jumping in front of trains

Bonus shitty points if I don't support drivers on strike. Where'd my love of drivers go...

No, the first step is to weigh ending your suffering vs increasing some imagined driver's suffering. You say "I don't have much options. I need to die but can't." And you're willing to pop your skull under a train. Your suffering likely outweighs the driver's

And why answer it with yes/no?

Maybe the Right Answer: I should help you die. No driver. Just you, and me: your personal assassin

Or how about we help improve drivers' working conditions?

 

[WorthlessCoward]

Nah

 

[SNBoi]

Will it probably change some other person life from that point on? Yes.
Does this make you a shitty person? Depends on your reasons, and if you really want a way out and this is the only one you got, at least to me that doesn't make you bad.

 

[justastranger]

I wouldn't chose this method though, since I saw a video of someone doing this and 1. It looked extremely painful 2. Lots of blood 3. Do you know the success rate? Jumping in front of a train isn't very common either, so you can't really know completely the success rates. If you consider jumping off a high place too, don't do that. Success rates are low for jumping from high up.
