Well, it's my first post here... I'm not sure if the label is correct...
Anyway, I made a series of mistakes in my CTB today...

I tried some times in 2024 to access my radial artery, and jump from the car. However, people arrived and then I was forced into treatment, in a way it worked for about 2 years, until a recent tragedy made me give up once and for all.

I tried again a few weeks ago to access my radial artery, however, even taking morphine and keeping the blade inside my arm to continuously break clots, while searching for the artery, I ended up fainting from hypovolemic shock after a while (It was a bit funny because just before fainting the bleeding stopped completely and I was confused, I cut my finger and no blood came out either, for 1 second I thought I had already died or was hallucinating...). Curiously, the pain from the cut isn't even the worst (Maybe because I took 80mg of morphine), the shortness of breath, neck stiffness, nausea, drowsiness, headache and uncontrollable thirst is what actually makes everything torturous. I imagine if I had managed to rupture the artery all this wouldn't be a problem...

Today I was determined, I thought constantly: Whatever it takes!

So i decided to change focus to hanging. I prepared the noose (Slip knot, they said, although I can't understand the difference between hangman's knot and slip knot for this), I sat on the stool whose height was almost enough to hang me. I theorized that if I waited to faint from morphine "semi-overdose" (100 mg) it would be enough. 30 minutes later and I was just groggy, but nothing about passing out.

So I went to plan B, tourniquet: without removing the noose from my neck, I tied a drawstring from my shorts around my neck and used a 50cm rod as a winch for the improvised tourniquet, the cord broke! I took another cord from another shorts, the cord broke! I tied the 2 broken cords to have 2 layers and... It broke again!

So I went to the drawer and took 2 shorts, with thick fabric cords, I tied both and put them on my neck. However, as I had already been frustrated so many times I hesitated for a few minutes... It's kind of tense when you prepare for death, go all in hoping it ends and fail 3 times in a row!

But even so I went, tightened it and immediately my legs became numb and loose and I passed out for 1 micro second (?), but I don't know why (Maybe the rope loosened?), I woke up. But it wasn't a simple waking up, when I passed out I think I hallucinated something about kitchen, so when I woke up I felt a desperation to go to the kitchen. When I finished removing the loop from my neck I no longer remembered the reason for the desperation. I was trying to understand the situation, but I think it must have been some brain/mind self-preservation mechanism that activated (?), I had never felt that before.

So I thought about plan B of plan B, I took another 40mg of diazepam, hoping their synergy would make me pass out.

Someone came home and knocked on my bedroom door, I had to hide everything in a hurry and say I was just lying down. Then came the disaster. When the person left, I only remember heading to my bed (I need to get to the bed to then sit on the stool), but when I was woken up by someone almost breaking down the door (FIVE hours later) I was in my bed, without noose, without tourniquet, without memory of lying in bed and without understanding what had happened... My theory is that when I sat on the bed to go to the stool I fainted, although I don't know what happened to the tourniquet... I'm sure no one entered there because the door was locked from the inside.

I learned a lot, however...

Not to sound rude or insensitive but how do you manage to overcome SI that many times? It's astonishing

Did you ask how I overcame SI and kept trying? Or how I "overcome" it in the sense of failing to go through with it? Sorry, I'm not a native English speaker... and these acronyms are new to me.

Yeah how did you overcame SI and kept trying? My SI is really bad even thinking about catching the bus makes me tense up
Also no problem my mother tongue isn't English either and I'm getting used to most acronyms here as well haha

I used to think it was normal to be ready...
To be honest, I don't consider it a virtue, and I don't know how to emulate it; I just feel pain and despair whether I'm asleep or awake. That's why I came to view "catching the bus" as a hope for non-existence, an absence of everything, including suffering. But come to think of it, I've never really talked to others who tried to catch the bus for real... So, it was always just a vague, self-centered assumption.

I'm going to take the liberty of saying I'm glad your instincts are sharp enough to make you nervous about "catching the bus"...

I'm not trying to proselytize, but "catching the bus" is painful and unpleasant with most methods. Even though some are *almost* painless, it's still not something the body is programmed for. It involves mental and emotional suffering...
If you get nervous, that really does seem to be the norm.

I see

Yeah I get what you mean, exactly the body isn't programmed for it

Thanks for the reply
Anti anxiety meds make a hell of a difference
I took many SSRIs and anxiety pills and they don't do shit, or even effect my SI I don't think that's how it works... if anxiety pills reduced your SI then why would they give you them? It's kind of contradicting
