What are some good ways to kill myself?

Post Reply New Topic

when I was on that point I saw it as mainly 2 options:

1: die
2: get help

my next thought was: why not try em both..

and since you can only try them both by doing the second option first, I had to go with that.
so I got a shrink, moved out of the city, started antidepressants, and so far I haven't really found the mood to plan the first option any further.

Both are difficult, in their own ways, but plan it out a bit and I can at least vouch for the second option.

These bits are from the National Institute of Mental Health.

Suicide is a major, preventable public health problem. In 2007, it was the tenth leading cause of death in the U.S., accounting for 34,598 deaths. The overall rate was 11.3 suicide deaths per 100,000 people. An estimated 11 attempted suicides occur per every suicide death.

Research shows that risk factors for suicide include:
depression and other mental disorders, or a substance-abuse disorder (often in combination with other mental disorders). More than 90 percent of people who die by suicide have these risk factors.
prior suicide attempt
family history of mental disorder or substance abuse
family history of suicide
family violence, including physical or sexual abuse
firearms in the home, the method used in more than half of suicides
incarceration
exposure to the suicidal behavior of others, such as family members, peers, or media figures.

I agree with MrMajorMajor, you need not to kill yourself, you need to talk to people who are caring and willing to help you.

jerry springer marathon.
potted meat.
most industrial foods made in the u. s. a.
going fully clothed in a nudist colony.
sega or Nintendo nonstop.

believing the NT critics who never have anything good to say about us.

there are nine suggestions. three sets of three. any one of them could be fatal.

another idea is to find happiness "from within", I am still trying to comprehend that one so please don't ask for an explanation

My understanding of it is you need to acknowledge your needs and not what other people are telling you that you need.

a) you're pathetic at comedy
b) people here are genuinely considering significant self-harm. your jokes are inappropriate.
c) just find happiness from within! yeah thanks a bunch, dickhead.

a) you appear to derive pleasure from insulting and belittling others.
b) if you bother to try to comprehend the o. p. one can find what appears to be attempted humor (I'll quote it for you)




1) fun with knives. (humor via sarcasm) 2) natural causes (as a form of suicide? imo humorously expresses a desire to live.) 3) anything really worked for people here? (more humor. because if anything HAS worked for someone here, that someone is unable to respond for obvious reasons)

so the o. p. contains humor while asking for help. I respond in kind, offering humor and a suggestion that iirc probably means to not rely on those around you for your sense of self esteem. yet you choose to insult, attack, and hate.

My guess is that you have more serious issues than simply not reading or understanding how humor can be contrived from the o. p. that is just a guess and is NOT intended as a diagnosis nor advice.

c) I have already covered this insult I believe, but what. makes you express hatred and insults for those on here that don't satisfy your pre-conceived ideas of perfect?

Woah, now hold your horses. I agree that this person made some inappropriate advice, and I'm sure the person meant to be funny and all, but there's no need to resort to name calling. And calling someone such a name is just as inappropriate. Two wrongs don't make a right, after all.

again, "this person" (me) understood attempts at homor in the o. p. and responded in like manner. as such it is neither "advice" nor inappropriate.


IF:

a) l misunderstood the o. p. AND the o. p. is offended then I offer my sincere apologies TO THE O. P.

b) I am the cause of misunderstandings via my response, then I offer sincere apologies for misunderstandings for which I am responsible.

BUT:
I neither apologize nor take responsibility for the misinterpretations and/or hatred of others.

if the o. p. is offended by my response, then let the o. p. say as much. I have already given explanation (and now apologies for any misunderstandings).
there is no justification for anyone else to insult, belittle, reprimand, or otherwise attack me for my response.

I see now. Well, I sure wish sarcasm was notified while they were typed. I'm no good with catching most sarcasm so, I apologize there.

I've binged on these my entire life and I'm still here...

Thank you. and I apologize if I was excessively defensive. I had just finished responding to the hateful attack from "The_Perfect_Storm" when I saw your post, so I was already on the defensive. I could understand the misunderstandings (from T. P. S.) more easily if there were not already several "humorous" responses prior to my attempt., but regardless, the insults were unwarranted.

thank you for both your defense and now understanding of my efforts.

I am one who tends to respond with black humour, hoping to lighten the mood a little.
Sometimes people "get it", other times it falls so flat I feel I should be arrested for damage of feelings.
You would think I'd have worked out the when and how by now, or shut up!

you are not alone. many of us are "right there with you"

Injecting yourself
Car exhaust
Toaster in the bathtub
lying on a highway or train tracks
shooting yourself
hanging
jumping from a bridge
drinking gas (bleech or paint thinner works too)
setting yourself on fire (lighting yourself or locking yourself in a burning building)
blowing yourself up

what about hanging yourself while jumping off a bridge into the roof of an explosives factory while drinking burning gas
