A weeks days ago I was very suicidal and was messaging my therapist about all the ways I could CBT. (I do not normally do that.. but I was in a hypomanic episode and she was aware that my messages can get out of hand.) Eventually, I came across the idea of using fireworks, they are explosives and quite easy to get. I looked it up and there have been a few cases of people CTBing with fireworks, basically putting whatever they were using in their mouth and setting it off. Do any of you think this is a possible method? There are many ways it could go wrong though.

Nope, dont ever try that. Imagine how terrible life would be after failing a method like that. It's just not worth it at all.

Isn't your therapist supposed to call the authorities and have you admitted if you talk to them like this? What was his/her reaction?

Why do I get the feeling that you're not aware of the existence of the pinned threads, including the suicide resource compilation? There's no need to resort to torturous & unreliable methods for anyone who actually wants to CTB.

by the time they got the messages i had already calmed down. i had also been hospitalized a week prior so she probably didn't want to send me right back. also, i did not have the intention of going out and buying fireworks right then and there. she just told me that wasnt a good idea and we needed to talk about it the next time id see her.

If you stuck fireworks into your mouth and lit them, you'd probably end up in the hospital with bad burns on your face and maybe no lower jaw. But actually CBT'ing sounds unlikely.

Read the "Peaceful Pill Handbook", there are ways in there that sound kind of unpleasant, but are more reliable and would only require a trip to a good hardware store to get the necessary materials.

Yeah given the unpredictability of fireworks and limited kinetic energy (enough to cause serious injuries but not always guaranteed lethal), compared to other 'explosives', it is not a good idea. Also, the consequences of failure is really a nightmare of it's own as others mentioned. being severely disfigured, physically crippled, on top of whatever suffering one is already going through..
