How to ctb quick and easy?

[technicallyAlive]

I'm looking for methods for suicide using common household items. I would prefer them to be quick and easy with minimal chance of resuscitation, but hey beggars can't be choosers!

There really aren't any easy ways at all, and household items aren't going to get you there, with possible exception of a good rope for hanging. But, there is more to hanging successfully than you might think. It's not that easy. Chemicals will just make you sick, possibly burn your insides, get you sent to the ER, followed by the psyche ward.

Did you have some specific kind of way in mind? It's better if you share what you're thinking and then let the community critique your ideas.

no offense, but if there were quick and easy methods with household supplies we wouldn't have hundreds upon hundreds of messages on this forum detailing exactly what medications, supplys, what suppliers, etc for ctb. The human body is stubbornly resilient.

in all seriousness, partial suspension is probably your best bet. You can search up threads for that once you've sent enough messages.

I was thinking I could overdose on my mom's prescription pills and drink clorox beforehand and then hang myself on my ceiling fan. i dont have rope so I'm gonna use a long cord as substitue. I also plan on starving for a week before I commit. Unfortunately I dont know how to tie a noose but I was thinking I'll just figure it out when the time comes, and that if I didnt figure it out then I'd just resort to sharpening a kitchen knife and stabbing myself with it

Ah, if it only WAS quick and easy . . .

IMO, you'll be better off thinking about a plan than rushing it. Everything you listed is no guarantee to be successful, but a successful trip to the ER. Rethink your planning.

Will do, thanks for the advice!

Please don't drink Clorox or take your mom's pills… most likely you're just going to make yourself sick/get health problems for the rest of your life and you won't CTB. Take it easy today and plan ahead if it really is something you want. There's no such thing as an easy method unfortunately. Be careful.

ODing on random pills is not a good way to go. Nor is it effective. Most of the time, you're in for a night of throwing up your guts and liver damage.

and drink clorox beforehand

ditto for bleach.

and then hang myself on my ceiling fan.

that is a bad idea. even assuming your fan can hold 100+lbs, can it hold that while it's thrashing around, for 20ish minutes?

i dont have rope so I'm gonna use a long cord as substitue

if you mean an electric cord, that will likely not hold your weight.

Unfortunately I dont know how to tie a noose but I was thinking I'll just figure it out when the time comes

nooses aren't hard at all to tie. the stereotypical "hangman's noose" used in movies isn't the most effective. It was used in drop hanging because people thought that the knot at the back made it easier for the neck to break, causing unconsciousness. You are not drop hanging, and will not break your neck. A simple noose is better. If you've ever knitted or crocheted before, you've likely already made one.

I'd just resort to sharpening a kitchen knife and stabbing myself with it

this is not as easy as it sounds, and is not a reliable last resort.

Is that right? Assuming you're a dude, don't forget you could always stick your prick in a blender, too, and maybe bleed to death if all else fails.

No no I'm sorry! I genuinley wasnt kidding when I said that, shits been hitting the fan recently and i was getting desperate. I thought if i combined a ton of lethal methods it would make one un-rescuitable death lol? I'm sorry if it sounded stupid<:]

Damn alright. Thank you anyway!

we've all been at a point where we've considered, or even attempted insane non-methods. i don't doubt you at all, i'm in a very desperate, dire situation as well. hell, the method i'm currently considering is definitely lethal, but so insane and brutal that i'm sure a ton of people doubt it.
i've read over the non-method thread + i just have knowledge of these subjects, but i still reach points where i consider attempting methods that i know won't work. irrationality is expected from people in awful situations; we all experience it regularly, whether it gets posted or not.
i'm sorry you're in such a dark spot, please stay safe. i see you have pretty low post count, so i'm assuming you've only recently started being active on the site? please check out the non-method thread that i mentioned earlier—it's under the sticky threads here. looking up key words (i.e. bleach, stabbing) is also useful for finding other threads and answers for things that you might be considering.
i'll be wishing you the best, please feel free to reach out if you need anything.

Thank you so much. I appreciate the advice and will check out the threads. And yes my situation has gotten increasingly worse where this site has become my only means of coping. Thank you again, and good luck!

Alright, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

I don't know what your mom's pills are, but I highly doubt she's got anything lethal enough to kill you easily. Most pills you'd just need to take too many of to die, so it isn't practical. Most will just fuck up your internals when taken in large amounts, so you'll just end up in worse shape, with more problems, than when you started, but still alive.

Again, bleach is just going to damage your internals. Forget about it.

Whether the ceiling fan can support your weight depends on how well the j-box, that the fan is mounted to, is secured to the joists in the ceiling. Some people replaced light fixtures with ceiling fans. Light fixture boxes were only mounted with a couple small screws. New mounts for fans have "arms" that secure between two joists and are much stronger. If you go to test it with your weight, you run the risk of breaking the fan and/or mount, so you have to decide if it's worth it should you have to explain why it's broken to someone.

What kind of cord? Like lamp cord? Tie it to a tree branch and see if it will support your weight FIRST before going all in with a hanging attempt.

No comment on starving yourself. I don't understand the reasoning behind it, but regardless, that's on you.

Anyone can google how to make a noose. Actually, nooses aren't even preferred in hangings. The often don't tighten correctly around the neck and how well they work can be weight dependent. There's a lot of friction between the multiple rope loops and the center rope that actually moves. Lubrication can help, but a modified slip knot is easier to tie and works better.

I think you'll find that stabbing yourself is a real bitch. You'll have trouble just generating enough force to go in an inch or two. You'd have to penetrate much deeper than that to hit organs. It will hurt so badly after the first plunge, that a second will be nearly impossible for you. Slitting your throat would be the same. It's all easier said than done.

Any other ideas?

There aren't any "quick and easy" ways. Anything you can do with household items comes with trade offs—time, risk of survival, pain, discovery, or just sheer unpredictability. The idea of something peaceful and certain lying in the back of your cupboard is comforting, but unfortunately not rooted in fact. The truth is that most so called "common household methods" are deeply flawed.

Still, since you've asked factually, here's what people tend to research in this space:

• Hanging: Partial suspension is what most people can manage with household furniture. Full suspension is more effective but harder to achieve without preparation and privacy.
• Carbon Monoxide: This used to be more common when cars ran differently. Creating a sealed environment is hard with household materials.
• Chemical Ingestion: But they can cause immense pain, internal burns, and extended death timelines, sometimes over hours or days, and frequently result in hospitalisation rather than death. Not recommended by any stretch of rationality.

People fantasise about "easy" because the real world alternatives feel unbearable. And that makes sense. But household methods rarely work the way you want. If they did, we wouldn't be here talking.

I won't sugar coat it. And I won't judge either. But don't confuse accessibility with effectiveness.

DO NOT DRINK BLEACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[FuneralCry]

I wish for the same, I wish it's straightforward to just be permanently free from this existence and never suffer ever again, it's just so cruel and dreadful to me how I cannot just have that option. But anyway I wish you the best, I hope you find the peace you search for.

 

[Ashes of a Dreamer]

If anyone discovers, please DM me! Just kidding, there isn't a quick and easy way out - quick, you can find, but easy is another thing (even hanging, the most accessible, requires some technique).

Now that I think about it, theres a forest some ways behind my house. Idkhtf to climb trees (theyre some tall ass trees) but if i figure it out i can probably hang myself outside,, and then I'll need a rope which i dont currently have but shouldnt be hard to get.

Sounds much more reasonable an idea. There will still be hurdles to overcome, and you've mentioned a couple, but it's a plan. Read everything you can about hanging before attempting, if you do go with this method.

Well, there are several more or less common household chemicals that can be used to render unconsciousness in less than 1 minute (typically 20 - 40 seconds) since the preparation stage is done and accomplish death with high reliability (if you have good understanding of how such things work). The methods were discussed in this forum section many times, although I can understand why some people might not notice them among 1000000 venting and outright offtopic threads about tatoos, masturbation, etc.
