Where would you get it? Or did you try and make it yourself?

I actually heard of a way that in theory sounds clean and painless. Make up 100g of tobacco as if it were tea and then drink it all. I don't know the mechanics but I think it would be a nicotine overdose. If you take it before you go to bed you will never wake up... apparently. I don't know the chances of it working though, I only heard this in passing.

Considering the fact that this thread is completely hypothetical, I guess a morphine overdose should be mentioned. I don't know if that would hurt or not; overdosing on regular painkillers is meant to give you stomach pains, headaches, vomiting, etc, but if it was stronger then it would take effect before your body began to reject it, right?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

If it's such a waste, why bother posting? In fact, why not go off into the world and save it from a seemingly inevitable fate?

Just asking.

Double Post:
you could always build a time machine and travel back to some time when there is a natural disaster about to happen.

Too much work, though.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Well, I think suicide is wrong. But there's no harm discussing it lol, not like I'm actually doing it.

Hydrogen cyanide most effective way, had rather disturbing uses in the past.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Awesome Homerun! What would happen if you make a time machine to stop your parents from ever conceiving you? You wouldn't exist of course...no...wait...what would happen to my soul then? Umm...exx that then.

I still hold to the CO poisoning method; however, i did hear that you can kill yourself if you drink too much water...like if you were on ecstacy and thought you were continually thirsty. Saw it on a video somewhere.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well, let's see here. Gunshots are too messy, and headshots are always so disturbing for the person who finds the courpse, so no. I also find the thought of taking people with me as disgusting unless it's like a group pact or something. Setting myself of fire is out. My Dad was in a gas explosion, and you have no idea how miserable of a life it can be if you've been through a gas explosion.

Bah, go for the throat. Wrist slitting is so emo. If you're going to go out, slitting your throat is one of the most dramatic, messy, and old fashioned ways to go. Wrists are kind of a half-assed way to go about it.

Sooo.....if I were in a state where everyone and everything I cared about in the world was gone, and I was left here alone, with nobody who cared, and no purpose to live, how would I want to knock myself off. Multiple ideas

1. Hanging. Kind of old fashioned, but it gets the job done. Plus, if you're going to die, may as well linger for a few minutes and get the feeling of disembodiment before you actually disembody yourself.

2. Gunshot to the stomach. I don't quite understand why people always seem to die instantly when they are shot directly in the stomach (not the gut), but they do. Anybody care to answer that? Either that, or have my throat slit.

3. My favorite idea would be for me to find another person such as myself who wanted to go, and we go out in style. Mortal fu*king combat to the death. Knives, guns, swords, amputations, and impalement. If you're going to go, what is there to loose? Enjoy your mortality while you have it. Take each other out. Winner has to finish the job for themselves, but of course, that might not be necessary considering how much progress the other guy/girl made before going down.


Obviously I'm not the kind of person who would want the quick, painless, method. I feel if I wanted to go, I would want to make a production of it and embrace my mortality before I let go of it.

FELIPE NO

I'm not gonna read this WHOLE thread looking for better ideas, just gonna throw my favorite in.

Falling from 30,000 ft (as high up as you can breathing wise anyway).

I mean what bigger rush, and you know for serious that you couldnt live through it, so you get to enjoy the view, watch the world rush up at you, feel the wind rushing by your face. You are all alone though, which bites, but in a way that is relaxing and refreshing.

Other ways to go would be bullet to the head, or should I say "shot" to the head. If you are gonna do it, blow you head clean off with a 8-gauge shotty. Head = gone.

Man this thread is sadistic.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

As far as the potassium chloride is concerened, it's apparently 'widely avilable' in medicines, fertilizer and things of that nature. If I was serious, I'd figure out how to extract it. In the end, I was just thinking out of my ass and really had to idea what the hell I was getting into but if I were to go all the way I'd have made the extra effort. Apparently though, it's hard for coronorers to figure out it was a suicide rather than a heart attack seeing as that's more or less what it does. Give yourself a strong enough dose you're likely to have such a severe heart attack, you'll die.


Nicotine on the other hand is beyond deadly. One drop is enough to kill someone, so I'm told. They put like one drop for every 20000 pounds of tobacco or something odd like that. The idea might work, but I'm no expert.


Shooting yourself...bad idea. A local around here put a gun to his mouth trying to kill himself, shot and somehow survivied. He now walks around looking like Scorpion from Mortal Kombat. The dude has to wear a mask all the time. Pretty fucking gruesome.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The point of the thread methinks??

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The one you showed is the Orthodox Cross.
At least that's what I was taught.

Didnt know what the cross was called, looked it up for the name, apparently the site wasn't very factual then...

Most amazing jew boots

This is a St. Andrews Cross

And this is his brother's Cross. It's St. Peter's but it also belongs to Satanism.

I'm not a drama whore!
In fact, it's SOOOO messy, you don't even get the chance to enjoy dying (or at least as much as you can enjoy it, considering).

How ya doing, buddy?

hmmm. If I had to end life, I think I would go stylistic and jump off a super tall building. Make me feel like I'm flying and a bit of sweet airtime before going splat on the floor. I could however, debate on how I go down. I could get some sweet speed sensation by going head first or could enjoy the moment and go spread out. It's not like I'm going to anyways so I guess I'll leave for a random dream to decide.

And to everyone who thinks CO gassing is an easy way to die...It's totally not. Yes you go to sleep, but the problem is if whatever you've stopped doing hasn't killed you, your body is going to regurgitate your insides literally, and there's some crazy mechanism that clicks in your brain and you regain consciousness. Meaning, you wake up barfing out your guts. Really painful.

Falling seems like a very peaceful way to go. Just the sound of the wind and the sight of the sky as you fall...a swan dive into oblivion, as Metaconsciou§ put it in another thread kind of like this.

If I was really so distraught as to kill myself, I would probably wander to a secluded section of railroad track late at night, lie down on the rails, and wait for the inevitable end. I might sound melodramatic, but...I came very close to that end a couple of months ago, not long before I joined here actually...I was in a horrible depression, alone, lost and confused, and I just drove to the riverfront late at night and laid by the rail tracks, sobbing and thinking that anything, even oblivion, would be better than my life, but even in that state, I couldn't bring myself to...die. The mindset of a person truly teetering on the brink of suicide is...just impossible to describe, I'm sorry.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Discussing suicide also gives you a strange feeling of control about your lfe. When you feel like they lost all control about what is happening with you, this is actually pretty soothing.

And in the end - sucide is not about ending your life, it´s about ending the pain.

FELIPE NO

Reading this thread really reminds me of why I love to be alive. I'm sure a ton of us have hit rock bottom before; to the point of wanting to end it all.

Yes.

Why not?

I mean, it's easy; right?

I'd love to think of it as a problem-solving determined flash of gunpowder to solve all my problems, but the bottom line is that I can't possibly think of suicide as a manner of going. Life happens and it happens fast. I want to enjoy the bitch and everything she brings with it. Ups and downs; to me it's all the same. I know this is off-topic but I can't really fathom something like this.

Granted, this is a hypothetical topic but it seems to me that if this topic had to be pondered upon then something went wrong somewhere along the way. Seriously...

ENJOY LIVING.

We're not gonna be here that long anyway.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

What if there's nothing to enjoy?
ever been SEVERELY depressed?
There is nothing to live for.

Nothing to live for, no purpose.
No purpose no need to take up space.
Therefore: If there's nothing to live for, there's no need to take up space.

How ya doing, buddy?

I think you have to take into account the mindset of someone when they commit suicide. I think it becomes the only option. I think you find ways to rationalize it - the most common probably being that others would be better off without you. That you're actually doing people a favor.

My theory, I guess, is that your mind becomes warped. I've had three people I've known attempt suicide, two of whom were successful. I've also had clinical depression for the last couple of years or so, and I've never had any treatment beyond one therapy session. It was embarrasing, so I never went back, but it is the only reason I know that I have a mental problem, as opposed to the usual teenage angst routine. I guess it was morbidly reassuring in that sense.

And my mind is completely warped. Everyone knows the symptoms of depression, so I'll spare you. But the funny thing is how my perception of suicide has changed since I was seventeen, and I'm nineteen now. It started out with the usual thing - I'd never do it! Look what it's done to my family. Then I actually started to think of how I'd do it, you know, just for the hell of it. But now I know that any time I could walk up to the drug store, buy a bottle of sleeping pills, and end the frustration. It's always in the back of my mind - it could all be over in half an hour. Being tired all the time, the lack of motivation and self control, watching every day pass by exactly the same as the last promising that tomorrow would definitely be the day I got off my ass - it could all be over! No more frustration and anxiety.

Anyway, I think it eventually something snaps and you just do it. You don't prepare for it or anything, don't leave a note, you just finally get it over with. It's best for everyone - you're dead weight, everyone will get over your death and be better off in the end. And you don't have to feel like a burden anymore. You don't have to try and fail every day of your life anymore. You just let everything go - you tried your best and life just isn't for you. I imagine it feels really great.

So that's why I don't think suicide is cowardly or selfish. Because I feel like I'm close to where they were and I think I understand. It just fucking crushes you, and I don't blame them for letting everything go. Neither of the people I've known who have commited suicide were cowards. They had real mental problems, something was fucked up in their minds, and it's a goddamn shame no one saw it coming.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I got to hand it to you. You are obviously really feeling this stuff, and that just isnt cool. I feel for you.

On the same hand, every moment IS NOT THE SAME. Each day is different and not every situation is the same. I got into this rut awhile ago because I have a very logical brain. I was thinking, "if I do X in situation Y, then it will be the same as last time I did X in situation Y..." Though this is true in scientific experiments, it is not true IN LIFE. Just because last time you applied for a certain type of job and were rejected, doesn't mean that you will always be. I know I got into this rut with asking girls out... they all ended in disaster, so everyone in the future seemingly in my head would end up in disaster as well. However, these ideas of futility are ultimately incorrect because of time+experience factors as well as differences in people.

This is a concept that everyone needs to grasp and understand. What you do in life is not utterly without results. Life is about a pursuit of something greater (or results) and through loss and failure it easily seems that there is nothing greater. But this couldn't be further from the truth.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I don't have any major problems in my life right now. I was feeling pretty angsty yesterday but a talk with my bud fixed that right. However, if I knew I was going to die for some reason (terminal cancer, etc.) I'd probably pick a fight with the most vicious bear around. No better way to go. However, I'd have to make sure that I pissed it off so much it actually killed me, otherwise it might not work.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Dude if you have to fight something, fight the sting ray, cause the human race basically got pwned the last time sigh

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah but sting rays aren't bad ass, and I don't know if sting rays live in the waters around here. Aren't they pretty tropical? I live in Ottawa. A bear would be much easier to find. Especially if I had cancer. Besides, maybe it's just me, but if I read an obituary about a guy who died fighting a bear (especially if it were for a reason) I would be like "Oh man he's awesome!" or something to that effect. However, dying by sting ray would just kind of be like "Oh man, that sucks. Too bad."

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I don't even live near the ocean. Driving to it would give me a bill for gas SO large that THAT definately would make me commit suicide.

FELIPE NO
