What if, assuming you're a strong swimmer like I am, you just got into the ocean and started swimming away from shore without stopping? You could research rip currents to try and time it so you get sucked out super far by waves, and once you're a few miles out from shore, the odds of rescue are pretty low, right? Then you'll just die of hypothermia, drown/pass out and drown?

Any thoughts on this? A benefit of this method, if viable, is that your body won't be found, it can look like an accident. If you're a weak swimmer or don't like cold, you can invest in a drysuit and a kickboard or floatation device of some kind, that way you can make it out to the point of no return alright.

Also, if you're really scared of the drowning (doesn't seem that bad though, because you'll be high/unconscious from the hypothermia before actually drowning) just bring a gun to shoot yourself in the head once you're past the point of no return. I guess this method doubles as an untraceable way to do the gun method.

I am curious to hear what people's thoughts are on this. :D

Lastly, just a daily reminder that no amount of contemplation or forethought or discussion will make your suicide happen. Ultimately the only way to do it just to do it, nothing more nothing less.

About drowning, considered it myself for quite a while. All I researched turned me away from it.
If you just swim straight ahead into the ocean you will not pass out. You will exhaust your body perhaps for hours until you are too weak, then begins the drowning, which activates all the panic mode and survival instinct in your brain, not pleasant nor peaceful at all. Awful last moments and you won't be able to end it quick once there. Then the drowning itself, which is also quite painful and if you are in salty waters is like fire through your lungs. Not a nice way out.

Also hypothermia wouldn't kill you like that I'm pretty sure. From what I've read at such low temperatures water stings like a kinfe, keeps you very much awake and you sometimes die of a heart attack even before the drowning. That's for extreme cases of cold water. Not an expert on this just stopped once I realized there was little way to make it peaceful.

This guy did this
and made a list of similar threads, you could find more info there. Still wouldn't recommend it since it depends a lot on a great execution and just hoping you remain unconscious, which the brain won't make easy.

Also unless you are lucky with currents, you are unlikely to get very far into the ocean, so there are chances your body washes back ashore.

Also also I don't get your last sentence

TLDR: You die, but not very pleasant or painless method, definetly not easy to solvent the downsides. The sea is a mean bitch.

I think it's a decent idea. I think the time of day would be important. Also make sure that no one sees you head out as they may very well call you in to coast guard or something. The last sentence really hits. All this planning is just stalling, for me anyway. I know how to do it. I need to just go fucking do it. Pussy

Trying to imagine a worse way to die than this. The sunburn would be off the charts, it would probably take days, the lack of sleep and constant exertion, dehydration kicks in due to the sunburn, every time you think you can just give in and die the SI kicks in and shoots you back to the top, you'd lose the capacity for an escape back to where you came from due to the exertion, I mean the more I think about this the worse it gets. I imagine it as roughly equivalent to 48 hours straight waterboarding on a hot grill but even that doesn't capture the sheer physical exhaustion.

I honestly think you'd end up praying for a shark to bite your leg off to end it faster.

I thought about something like this when I was younger like preteen/teen. Like exhausting myself swimming somewhere into deep water.

But then I remember reading about this person that swam for how long/how far? Days or smthin And yeah.... gave up on that idea.

Dang ok glad I read this. My last sentence is just an affirmation- thinking about suicide, or anything for that matter, doesn't do it. Doing the thing is what makes the thing get done. Maybe that's good for people on here who endlessly contemplate, to spur them to action, idk.

it is kinda funny

exactly, I'm new, but I feel like this board is one big stall. Not a one successful suicide account has yet been posted here lol

Can't blue ringed octopii be found on some beaches?They are extremely poisonous.

Yeah this sounds like straight up torture, self immolation might be a more pleasant way to go

I don't think that you have any chances of getting high or becoming unconscious from hypothermia in water, unless you use some auxiliary means that prevent you from sinking. Your muscles will be incapacitated by cold long before hypothermia would alter your consciousness, and then you won't be able to stay afloat, no matter how good your swimming skills are.

I also don't understand how some substantially long exposure to cold that leads to hypothermia could be deemed less unpleasant than drowning. I have no experience of drowning yet, but I have a lot of episodes of dealing with deep chill in the past (due to living in a country with cold climate, where winter temperatures can reach -20 °C or below sometimes), and I have to say that feeling severe cold for several minutes really sucks.

Not keen on the sound of drowning personally. I imagine, even if you swim to the point of exhaustion, the physical act of drowning would be enough to make you wake up and panic. I really don't want to die in a state of prolonged panic.

Hypothermia I suppose could be more peaceful eventually. Odd behaviours with hypothermia though. People are often found partially naked. Apparently, in the last stages, it can actually feel like we're burning hot. Not that we'll be alive to see it but, not massively keen on the idea of being washed up on a public beach naked.

The gun idea, I'm not sure I fully grasp. I like the sea so, dieing in it sounds kind of nice. Still- if the purpose is to make it seem like an accidental drowning, no one is going to believe that if a body washes up with a gunshot wound! Maybe not all bodies wash up though. I don't know. I guess the gun would sink at least. I don't see the benefit there though over shooting yourself on dry land.

If you're far out enough, there's little chance of the body being found. Just a few miles out from shore where I'm at, you're resting above a 7000 foot deep area of the Pacific. If you buoyed yourself out there carrying weights, then deflate the buoy right before shooting yourself (you'll have to briefly tread water with the weights attached to you), your body will sink into total oblivion, no odds of being found.

What the heck even is the backstory of this video
It's a Russian custom to do cold water swimming. If you do it enough it builds subcutaneous brown fat and helps one tolerate regular cold much better. In this one they coupled it with celebrating Christian or probably Orthodox Epiphany. It was very unwise to do this in a completely frozen river with a current. You can practically see her getting pulled down stream before she's even completely in.

This is a fascinating custom, thanks for sharing
