All I can say about me is that I've made over 10 attempts and I've been to the hospital over 10 times for attempts .
I've been in psych wards 7 times and I doubt it will ever stop.

I have made two serious attempts where I was hanging and ready to die. The anchor had other ideas

Other times I have tested by having a noose sling over a beam but held by my hand to see if I could pass out

2 but I don't really consider them real attempts because I was just being a dumb teenager and I was never in any real danger

2 OTC pill overdoses as a child
2 near-lethal partial hanging attempts as an adult
1 drowning attempt as an adult

So, about 5. I'm not including the countless rehearsals and practice runs.

Tried hanging once
Rubbing alcohol once
Bleach once
4 major Otc 'cocktail' overdoses

Only hospital stay was a result of me crashing out after being up for a week in full blown mania, tried to take a cocktail to sleep in desperation ended up with serotonin syndrome and they called it a suicide attempt. Led to a one week stay in the ward in December.

Currently have a hopeful method in progress, death by intentional organ failure thru long term acetaminophen abuse. The way my health is these days, this attempt has the high probability to be my last🤞 but if im still here by my birthday 🔫 I have plans to "celebrate"

I haven't properly attempted as after all I'm so cruelly denied the option to just cease existing peacefully that is guaranteed so that finally I can be free from this dreadful, torturous abomination of existence I always saw as a mistake.

It's so terrifying to me how trying to cease existing can go wrong and lead to way worse torture and agony in this existence where there is no limit as to how much one can be tortured and I just wish I never suffered at all, I see so much cruelty in how I cannot just have the option to peacefully cease existing so finally I can be free from the abomination of existence.

You make it sound like a competition.

I had 0.

I'll only have one attempt and make sure I succeed at it.

I don't know about you or anyone else's "attempts" (nor do I care), but in general, if someone has over 10 attempts, then I'm probably going to disagree with that person on what counts as an attempt.

For example, I once heard a woman on a podcast explaining in a bubbly but dramatic voice that "In my last attempt, I called my brother and told him I'm going to end my life, then I took the pills and lay down on my bed". Seriously? What does someone like that expect to happen?? When I hear people like that, I don't feel any sympathy. I hate them for abusing the concept of being suicidal and using it for their selfish attention whoring. It was just a random example to illustrate my point.

Seeing this, you're probably going to explain why you're different and why you are special... Go ahead. We're all special, just in different ways.

It's hard to read tone over the internet. We don't have any idea what else that guy thinks & I don't think it's fair to assume. I'm not that poster, but I've made 5 attempts in 20 years.

I can't speak for that guy, I can only speak for me: I'm not special. I'm just stupid & incapable & disabled. This is true for me in EVERY area of my life, not just my attempted suicides lol. When I was really young I didn't understand much about the body, & my first two attempts were never going to work because they were too painful, but I didn't understand the psychological reactions to pain at that age & thought I could do it. The third I was almost successful but I made a stupid error that cost me. The 4th was a complete failure because I tried another extremely painful method I made up….. 5th was the closest I ever got & I'm doing research now so I won't mess up ever again.

For me, I don't like myself. I'm sure that's common here, not special at all. So sometimes there is a huge temptation to self harm during my suicide. Sometimes even though I know some methods work better, they don't seem violent or painful enough for someone like me. I just have a desire to really make sure I suffer appropriately. Which is somehow counterproductive to my suicide. But I certainly don't feel special at all. I don't know why you'd assume that.

Most commonly I just feel enraged with myself that I am so worthless I can't even end my own life correctly. That's the entire reason I'm here, personally. I'm sure lots of people feel the same, it's not unique or special

At least five times I've tried jumping from shared balconies, that's it. The next one will be fatal. Let it be so.

I had 2 attempts so far, both hanging. Went horribly because I'm too stupid for my own good. Second time I fell and hurt myself pretty badly, so I'm looking for other methods

I don't think it's hard to read tone over the internet. Based on a single post, yes. But after seeing a few posts from someone, you can get an idea of what kind of person they are.

I can't speak for that guy, I can only speak for me: I'm not special. I'm just stupid & incapable & disabled. This is true for me in EVERY area of my life, not just my attempted suicides lol. When I was really young I didn't understand much about the body, & my first two attempts were never going to work because they were too painful, but I didn't understand the psychological reactions to pain at that age & thought I could do it.

The 4th was a complete failure because I tried another extremely painful method I made up….. 5th was the closest I ever got & I'm doing research now so I won't mess up ever again.

You seem like someone who sees her situation for what it is. You're honest with yourself, and probably with others as well (based on your comment). You're looking at the nature of your problem in a constructive way instead of just making meaningless shitposts flaunting your 'numbers' like they were some sort of achievement. You're not using the term "suicide attempt" in an unreasonable way. You're not the kind of person I was describing.

For me, I don't like myself. I'm sure that's common here, not special at all. So sometimes there is a huge temptation to self harm during my suicide. Sometimes even though I know some methods work better, they don't seem violent or painful enough for someone like me. I just have a desire to really make sure I suffer appropriately. Which is somehow counterproductive to my suicide. But I certainly don't feel special at all. I don't know why you'd assume that.

By saying "feel special", I was being sarcastic. The implication was that I don't understand why some people feel like they have the special privilege to cry 'suicide' when all they need is just attention. Seeking attention, expressing emotional pain, and asking for help are absolutely fine. Just be honest about it.

I don't judge people who self-harm either. But if your goal is self-harm, then don't call it a suicide attempt. (I'm not saying you did that. I'm talking in general.) Throwing the term around is dishonest when all the person wants is just attention. It's like going to the doctor and saying your stomach hurts when in reality you just want to talk to someone. It's annoying, it doesn't help the person, and it's just a waste of time.

Two serious, 10-12 semi-serious, like 50 half-ass attempts.
