Cutting and OD

[Georgia20]

So my favourite method would be cutting my wrists. I'd like to see myself slowly bleeding to death. I've been self harming for a long time and this would kind of be the perfect end. But I know that cutting on its own is usually not a very successful method. So I thought about mixing it with overdosing. Do you think that could work? Of course I'd make sure that nobody's going to find me too soon

Both are not successful methods, I'm not sure combining the two would make them more deadly. Most cases of complex suicide (2+ methods) are a combination of one deadly method, and one or more methods that most likely would fail on their own.
It is very hard to cut your wrists to the point you die, almost impossible, it'd have to be a cut somewhere else, like neck or legs to be fatal, and those hurt. A lot. Probably one of the most painful methods. As for overdoses, most pills are designed nowadays to not kill you. I'm not sure about illegal drugs though... but I'd guess the success rate is not good either or more people here would go for it.

I was afraid that this is really the case. It would probably be too nice. Although maybe there is a chance, when taking blood thinners, maybe being not exactly in a good physical constitution and taking enough pills combined with something else and then cutting and especially not being found soon. Maybe that's the main point, if you're not found for several hours, shouldn't you pass out and eventually die? If your body would survive on its own like this, than you wouldn't get rushed to a hospital if someone found you, would you?
Well, I guess I'm still trying to convince myself that this method could work but maybe I really should look into another plan. Sadly I live in Germany and it's kind of impossible to get SN here cause that would have been my favourite method

You wouldn't just keep bleeding is the issue unless you can cut deep enough to hit a major artery which would be in your neck or thigh and they are very deep. Your blood would eventually clot up or the bleeding would drastically slow. Pills are not going to work either in 99% of cases. You can search overdoses here and unless it's SN you will see it's pretty much all fails.

That is freaking frustrating. I don't want to attempt if I know I'll fail. That would be just shitty. Is SN really the only thing you can use to overdose? I mean overdosing and dying obviously, not just damaging some organs and continue living as a even bigger burden

Is SN really the only thing you can use to overdose?

No, there is also N and a few other reliable enough substances.

Taking aspirin and hot bath can facilitate the process as both open blood vessels
