Well, i'm back after a month. Got hospitalized. Minor brain damage, but somehow i'm not a vegetable. That's what i get for going for drowning. On the flip side, nobody thought i was trying to ctb, so there's that. To everybody it was an accident that i did not know that the river was strong enough to drag me far away. I went with that as to not get suspicion on me. It worked. Back to the drawing board

Wow, glad you are fine. May I ask if you were under the influence of anything while drowning?

Sorry to hear it failed and that you're still in pain. Thanks for also showing the world there are people like us there, who try to CTB, fail (maybe multiple times) and still want to CTB, as media often portrays everyone regretting it.

I'm glad to know that it didn't cause any severe physical damage, but oh how frustrating it is. Wishing you well

It ended up being your SI was just too strong to drown yourself? Did you get "saved"? Drowning is a hard way. Glad you're alright.

The only way I would try drowning is by attaching weights to myself. But even then, it's still difficult to find a location where no-one sees you, so it's problematic.

Nope, someone spotted me and SAVED me. Really wished they didn't

Is there anything you would have done differently?
Probably done it at night, tie a weight, and make sure the water is cold enough to kill even a whale

I'm sorry you have to suffer, to me it just feels so cruel how trying to cease existing can go wrong and just lead to more suffering as a result. But anyway I wish you the best.
