What's the most unreliable/brutal/inconvenient method you can think of, that you'd never attempt no matter the desperation?
My ideal method would probably be SN, or maybe trying to OD on benzos and downing a bunch of vodka in the hopes of making my death seem more like an accident

But is there any specific method you'd never even consider using?
I'm just curious about people's personal feelings and views on certain methods, since I don't think I have many "hot takes" regarding them.
For me personally, I'd do anything to avoid the most painful methods like self immolation or drowning, but that's honestly it.
I might prefer things like ODing or using SN over other methods, but I could also see myself doing something like decapitation by train or jumping if things got extremely messy in my life, even if I'd do almost anything to avoid causing problems for other people who have to deal with recovering my body... I'd still choose being able to ctb effectively over some stranger having the displeasure of wiping my blood off of some train. Firearms would be an easy way out too but I couldn't get my hands on any sadly.. I just want to hear other people's thoughts on the matter

Generally, throwing myself in front of a vehicle (including trains).
Self-immolation, drowning, taking chemicals that will cause extreme pain (SN, etc., is within my tolerance).
I also have a very serious problem with hanging myself, and I don't think I'd choose that method. I'd have to be very very desperate to try it.

I'd never do hanging. The suffering is unreal

People really only do self-immolation to make some sort of statement, highly doubt someone would do it if their goal was to die and nothing else.

To answer the question though, probably jumping, either off a building or in front of a train because you'll end up severely maimed if you survive. Also ODs and cutting because of how ineffective they are.

Anything that would just lead to more suffering instead of me finally being at true permanent peace, I find it so terrifying how trying to cease existing can go wrong and lead to way worse pain and torture as a result.

It's horrific to me how there is no limit as to how much a human can suffer in this existence and I only continue to suffer as I'm so cruelly denied the option to cease existing painlessly that is guaranteed with no more suffering.

Sounds like those "most painful" methods chase you and you have to make a huge effort to get away from the pursuit )) I noticed that anti-drowning propaganda is pretty common on this forum, but sometimes it has remarkably weird forms. Well, I wouldn't try to consciously drown myself in boiling water or concentrated hydrochloric acid - this could be really painful indeed )

Wondering why you think this? All the videos I've seen the person doesn't look in pain amd passes out within seconds.

SN for me, can't deal with waiting and how long it takes.

For me things like jumping in front of a vehicle, intentionally crashing a vehicle, self immolation are a no go.

honestly nothing is off the table for me if i'm desperate enough
i probably just wouldn't do a very obviously risky method. i wouldn't throw myself in front of a car, for example. but i might do if it's a train.
i probably would not try to bleed to death either or starve, since it's highly painful methods and you most likely end up tapping out midway

personally, nothing including hanging/firearms. i don't even think i'd have the guts to put myself in front of traffic or jump from anything. if i ever did make the decision it'd have to be in my sleep or something </3

Obvious question with an obvious answer: I would not consider any of the methods that have a significant chance of failing and/or resulting in greater suffering or injury. Shouldn't be too hard of a concept to grasp.
