Would you do ctb if there was no painless way?

[Bobert_Beniro]

to be honest, I would probably be afraid to jump from a roof or under a train, or hang myself and cut my veins, I would suffer for the rest of my life ...
And yet, better SN with discomfort, but guaranteed death, or amitriptyline without pain, but, this will not necessarily kill you and can there be consequences?

 

[Lost in a Dream]

It depends on how painful it is I guess. I mean, maybe, depending on the method, but if it was excruciating and took hours to work, hell no. I'll just wallow in my misery and eat junk food until my heart gives out if that's the case.

 

[Das Nichts]

Hanging maybe. I've also been thinking about suffocation a lot lately.

I think quasi painless suicide methods are possible, but require non trivial technological effort, e.g: You breathe air using a full face mask from a device similar to a CPAP machine, which switches to helium/nitrogen in the deep sleep phase, while you are sedated by a "moderate" amount of benzodiapienes. On the other hand, affordable ctb methods for mortale human beings require direct confrontation and overcoming of survival instinct, because SI detects impending pain from self-harm. The person requesting death must endure initial pain/suffering or perform actions that an intact SI would never allow. So for normal people in the current society there is at the moment no entirely painless/fearless or procurement restriction free (e.g. firearms) way, which makes it difficult. Really hard, but not impossible. I think chemicals that eliminate survival instinct are necessary for those who want but can't.

I wouldn't mind trying to jump again since my life is going to shit. I don't like pain, but physical pain is nothing compared to the pain of an unfulfilling life.

 

[hag]

The pain doesn't matter to me, so long as it's only a minute or two. After all, it will be followed by eternal nothingness, and that's what I believe I will be focused on.

I think I could drum up the courage to attempt full suspension hanging. From the videos I've seen, you only suffer for about a minute. I think I could also jump as long as I was drunk enough. It would have to be a cliff though, not a building.

So for normal people in the current society there is at the moment no entirely painless/fearless or procurement restriction free (e.g. firearms) way, which makes it difficult.

I'd say that Carbon monoxide is the closest thing to what you're describing. It's relatively painless, not particulary technically complex, and most importantly, can not be banned by the state. Charcoal just has too many legitimate uses. It could never be restricted in the way that firearms and SN are.

 

[FuneralCry]

To me there isn't really a painless and reliable way that is accessible and it's why I'm still trapped here in this hellish world. To me all the methods are either inaccessible, risky or horrible/incredibly difficult to go through with, and with more painful methods the survival instinct is very likely to kick in making it so difficult to finally reach the ideal state of not existing.

What I fear is ending up in an even worse situation of unbearable suffering from failing an attempt, such a thing sounds so horrific to me so sadly I'm still stuck here. It's such a cruel punishment how we are denied a way to just exit this world peacefully, such a thing should certainly be a human right and the tragedy lies in the fact how it's not. I hate how this society is so incredibly anti suicide with other people wanting to make us slaves to suffering and prisoners to this existence.

 

[yive]

yes, there is no way i'll ever accept this life

 

[Forever Sleep]

No- I'm a wimp. Maybe if I was less of a wimp, I would already be gone. I have considered very violent, brutal methods like jumping and slashing wrists... even using a power saw . The main thing keeping me here is staying for the sake of my Dad. I can't deny that fear comes into it too though.

I would most likely go out via SN but that scares me too. People's experiences with it seem to vary considerably. I mean- it's a chemical poison at the end of the day- just how peaceful is it likely to be?

I guess it's unreasonable but sometimes, I get so angry when I think of what I'm going to have to do to myself to free myself from this life. That- or I wait for illness and old age to creep up on me. As much as I love my parents- in my head- I can't help but think- why did you do this to me?

 

[silent star]

I will/would do ANYTHING to get out of this life

 

[FrostedHoax]

My chosen method is going to be extremely painful, albeit for a very short period of time (I'm talking 30 seconds to a minute max before I probably lose consciousness and it's probably gonna be more like a few seconds of pain anyway). So yes, I would definitely still choose to CTB.

 

[charlotte_]

Probably not unfortunately. I have really low pain tolerance, even the heat on a hot cup of coffee could be enough to make me drop it. If I do something painful or risky, my SI would definitely kick in. I hate this fragile ass body.

 

[Valky]

Is it weird that I wish to go out in a painful way? Like the physical pain is a form of revenge on my brain for putting me through mental illness.

 

[HAKMKS]

Yes, looking for one

 

[Sapphire]

Yes I would. The method doesn't have to be painless. It has to be reliable. I don't expect death to be completely painless. This isn't realistic in most cases. Even most natural deaths aren't quick and painless.
