Discussion Bag Over The Head Method

[DYLLPYCKLE]

What do you guys think of the old fashioned bag over the head method? You put a plastic bag over your head to suffocate yourself

 

[muu]

it's been talked about a bit on sasu before. the likelihood of SI intervening and you ripping it off your head is way more likely to be the outcome than any sort of death. the only possible way is if you're inebriated or if you are hellbent on dying. even then it probably won't be enough.

it's quite unfortunate that a lot can go wrong with this method since it seems rather peaceful and easy. though, it's one of the ones more commonly used by the elderly and the chronically ill if they have to do something.

How long do you think it would take to pass out wit this method? And obviously if you use a cheap plastic bag it would be easy to tear but what if you were to use something strongger that wasnt easy to rip and then made sure to tie to tie it in a way that was hard to untie.

Yeah I just don't know how strong my SI is

i'm unsure how long it would take to pass out, i apologize. longer than a few minutes, i'd assume.

in theory i think it could work, but it would be very very miserable and not necessarily my first choice to go out. i attempted something like this when i was very desperate a year ago and the feeling of needing to rip the bag off of your head is very intense and overwhelming. your chest will feel tight and you will panic. there's no way around it if you're sober. your last moments will be spent in fear and panic and having the intense urge to free yourself.

obviously i'm not telling someone to do one thing or the other, but there's definitely better methods, don't you think? ^_^;

everybody has survival instinct when you're in the moment. it's easy to think right now and be like "hmm, i don't think my survival instinct doing this! it'll be fine." You Will. you will. i promise. it's something you cannot escape because it is built into us as humans.

i've heard about ways to "overcome" it and ways to dampen it and make it less effective, but it's a struggle. even the most suicidal person ever will still feel it to a degree, i'd believe.

still, regardless of how strong you think your SI is, i highly suggest finding something else. i forgot to mention but, like anything that cuts off oxygen to your brain, this method can leave you brain damaged and a vegetable.

I do agree there are better methods, just not ones that seem viable to me. I have been trying to get SN from DSL but I just cant seem to find their site even folloowing the hints on this site. I did find their Tik Tok page and I messaged them but I didn't get a repsonse. Also I found SD a few months back but as far as I can tell they no longer seem to carry it. I understand it might not be ideal but when you don't have easy access to the other methods something would be better than nothing.

i understand... desperation can lead you to things. i'm not here to advise anyone of how to do their suicide, we are all adults here and are able to make our own decisions. i just wish to advise against certain methods for people that are looking to try them, as i do not want anyone to suffer a cruel death.

obviously i wish everyone the best and i wish everyone would give a shot at recovery, but i understand having exhausted every avenue and every resource they have. we live in a very sick and horrible world, i don't blame anybody who is on sasu for being here. i hope that you are able to find peace in one way or another.

my PMs are always open if you need somebody to talk to, and i extend that offer to everybody here. i hope sasu makes you feel a little less alone.

When you suffocate you would start to panic. Survival instinct would kick in and you would rip the bag off. Even if you someone manage to avoid doing this, the panic you would feel would make this a horrible way to go.

Thanks I appreciate the offer.

Just tried citric acid & baking soda plastic bag asphyxiation

I've previously tried just the plastic bag with a rubberband around my neck to secure it, but my best attempt was only 3 minutes and it felt very uncomfortable (like 1/10 peacefulness) But I just tried citric acid and baking soda to produce CO2 with two cups in the bag after pushing out most of...

In addition to that, alprazolam can mitigate anxiety from carbon dioxide

At concentrations of about 30%, carbon dioxide can produce hallucinations, followed by loss of consciousness if inhalation is long enough. Some people even use carbogen for recreational purposes.

What do you guys think of the old fashioned bag over the head method? You put a plastic bag over your head to suffocate yourself

I tried this once. I put a plastic bag over my head while in the shower and used a cord to secure it around my neck. I didn't pass out unfortunately. I think maybe the cord was too thin? I didn't leave any holes or gaps for air so idk. I'm willing to try it again if I can figure out what went wrong...

sounds extremely easy, accessible and relatively peaceful (as oppossed to something like drowning)
you could hypothetically zip tie your own hands to avoid SI.
just gotta be sure it really works, because you don't wanna ask somebody help to remove the zipties afterwards in case of a fail

 

[Drogon]

SI is a tremendous hurdle on this one
