worst and best method in your opinion

[grapevoid]

In my opinion excluding N and doctor assisted
Best would be inert gas- I had a failed attempt with gas and can vouch that you pass out very quickly, completely painless. If I hadn't failed it would have been a very peaceful death.

Worst - I think possibly jumping or hanging. Mainly because SI and watching a ton of hanging videos it looks.. violent and relatively un-peaceful imo.

IMO

(Always study the chosen method well, don't do anything impulsively)

Best: full suspension hanging (simple, cheap, ancient and fast)

Worst: any involving machines, fire, electricity, poisons or chemicals.

I didn't think of this but fire sounds absolutely awful

I wish maid, or nembutal were available so everyone can just fuck off, if life isn't working out for them. Worst method, that jumping or train sounds, not good

For me, it's gotta be a gun. And not just any gun. A .357 Magnum. That's how Budd Dwyer did it, and he just died so beautifully. He did it in a room full of people too, and none of them could revive him, so you know it's reliable. I've fired a very well put together Magnum, way back when I lived in Phoenix I used to shoot cans out in the desert. It's just a great gun. So lightweight with silky smooth kickback but so powerful. It was my best friend's Magnum that he let me use out in the desert.

And a few years later, he used that very same Magnum to successfully kill himself. And I've been jealous ever since.

I've never used a shotgun, so I'd be less comfortable with a big, cumbersome gun like that instead of a nice easy to control Magnum.


Now see, every botched gun suicide I've ever seen has been with a shotgun. Also if you're asking god "should I do this?" WHILE the barrel of a gun is in your mouth - you're not ready to CTB. That boy's SI kicked in while the gun was in his hand and probably moved the barrel way out from where it was supposed to be. I just feel a Magnum gives you more control.

Also I grew up on Survival Horror games where the Magnum was always the most powerful weapon, so that's another reason I gravitate towards them.

As for the WORST method of Suicide - there are thousands of ways to commit Suicide in a horrific manner. I feel the more the method allows SI to kick in, the more terrifying it will be.

So off the top of my head, worst method - Walking into the ocean. This is one of the all time classic methods of suicide, often romanticized in Greek Tragedies, but just really think about it. It's going to take HOURS of being out in open ocean before enough fatigue sets in to drown (which is horrific in and of itself).

Just picture being in the pitch dark of night, in open ocean, your SI kicked into hyper-drive, knowing what comes next is one of the worst ways to die. Yeesh.

Most I have seen are also with a shotgun though I wonder if they're used more? Idk but a close family friend of mine also failed an attempt with a firearm - a hand gun- and it left him blind so I'm deathly afraid of this method, though I imagine it would be quick and painless if done exactly right

How

Exactly yeah it's always some good samaritan interfering. Bouncers, paramedics bystanders with Narcan etc. i was legally dead for 2m 36s when I OD'd. Horrible experience being brought back.

How much did you take and how did you take it if you mind me asking

lol

Seems a little bit mean spirited to laugh at the guy's misfortune. Suicide by shotgun has the highest success rate out of any method, and while the consequences of survival are macabre, the odds are extremely low and can be further mitigated by doing minor preparation in regards to shot placement. I'm not clicking the video, but I'd venture the guy in question shot himself under the chin and missed the brain entirely.

Best: The one that is quick and painless, if you fall asleep before then, fine.

Worst: Life itself. After all, some people decide to be passive about their death, but the fact that it is so painful and agonizing to suffer for a long time, that is the worst method.

 

[iamgood]

Best (based on accessibility)- Full suspension hanging , if possible , combined with inert gas. If shotgun is accessible, its the fastest and the most painless method available to mankind

 

[LigottiSchopenhauer]

lol

Watched this video so you all don't have to - it's misleading to suggest that this was a failed suicide attempt. He says in the video that he had the shotgun in his mouth and then decided not to kill himself, but then experienced some undescribed "accident" involving the shotgun. So if he had actually shot himself through the mouth at the proper angle he'd be dead instead of disfigured.

how do you fail ?

 

[Electra]

for me
Best Methods: firearm, jumping?, maybe N/SN?

Worst Methods: cutting, slitting throat/wrists

whats important for me is that I can't back out of it when I start it > effective > its quick > painless

Painless as last? Damn you're tough tough. Although I agree effectiveness and no reversal is paramount.

 

[grapevoid]

how do you fail ?

Not exactly sure, I don't remember much of what happened after passing out even into the next day but I guess after I passed out I somehow dislodged the supply or removed the bag. I vaguely remember bits and pieces of the ambulance but hard to differentiate between reality and a dream, I was very incoherent.

To me if I know that the method would work and my low pain tolerance can't allow me to escape dying from it in the middle of it then the amount of pain I go through during the method won't matter as the problem with pain for me isn't the pain itself but having to continue to live with that pain. That why I would prefer to burn myself to death than slit or overdose if I could have a place to self-ignite myself without anyone being able to stop me.

that's why i prefer sn than inert gas...
hope it is not too traumatizing for you

do you have permanent damage (cognition, memory, epilepsy...) ?

what do you do to avoid to again fail ?

Just point to head. not the jaw

I know I just said it's gotta be a Magnum for me, but a Fetty OD sounds so nice. I've researched several Fetty OD stories and it is as you described. I'm honestly glad Fetty exists and I think it should replace Nembutol or Pentobarbitol as the top tier Euthanasia drug.

And AFAIK the only risk with taking a lethal dose of Fetty is being discovered by some jackass with Narcan. Like you can't just take a lethal dose of Fetty and puke it up, right?

I puked it up

 

[Halfhourdays]

Best, as in most desirable ? CO, N, SN -- something peaceful with dignity.

Best, as in most effective? Not really a matter of opinion, there's firm statistics.

Most lethal methods of suicide - Lost All Hope

For information on the most lethal methods of suicide, a good starting point is the statistics on the number of successful suicides by method (see Suicide statistics). There is also a much published study from 19951, where 291 lay persons and 10 forensic pathologists rated the lethality, time...
