Potential for cutting as a method of suicide

[daydream]

There's a lot of hate towards cutting as a method because it is unlikely to work and is painful. Nevertheless, I want to evaluate all possible options so I can make the best decision. Cutting would be the easiest method for me: I don't have the equipment for hanging, I would have to buy poisons, drug overdose is possibly the worst choice due to pain and low success rates, and there are no train tracks close to my house; the best method right now seems to be NN, but I'm having a lot of trouble getting it right.
So, cutting. There are different places one could cut, but obviously you want to hit an artery by going deep and in the right spot. To my uninformed self the best choice seems to be the carotid arteries in the neck. The main problem is making sure that enough blood comes out in enough time to ensure success. It's possible that enough of the tissue will heal too quickly, possibly after you've passed out but before you die.
Other considerations are the amount of mess, pain, and time required. Some people say that cutting an artery makes you pass out before you feel too much pain; others say that it's one of the most painful ways to go. Obviously, hours of time until death won't work for someone who lives with others or has strong SI.
I've heard that some people cut tissue that is submerged in water, reducing mess. Does this also lower chances of healing? Maybe it decreases the rate at which blood escapes, making things worse?
Other questions: exactly how much pain does this involve, and what factors does it depend on? What are the best places to cut? There seems to be a lot of disagreement over this.

you said it it's a bad idea. i've read you have to cut arm and leg arteries to die from blood loss but this is not easy. can't imagine to aim on the neck. Maybe you should look into SN method

Could be extremely painful, depending on your pain tolerance. I'd suggest looking at vein and artery
maps to give yourself a good idea of options and placement. If you hit something like the brachial or radial you likely will pass out in a couple minutes but you might regain consciousness again if the blood clots enough. Just remember you might need to cut through muscles, tendons and nerves to get to them. They're not easily accessible for a reason.

Not my personal choice of method but I wish you luck deciding what method is best for you.

It's a bad idea.
Agonizing and inefficient.
Do suicide properly if you are going to do it.

Saying it and doing it are two massively different things

Avicii made it this way. But its a bad methode.

I can't even imagine the SI through that. it would be insanity.

Please choose an easier method for your own sake.

I'd imagine agonizing pain, it's like the worst method to me after self immolation. The pain must be horrible, because like someone above said, you have to cut through a lot of tissue including nerves to get to arteries. Anything cutting through your nerves feels like hell. I find it very unlikely anyone would be able to go through this, unless they were very high on hard drugs, or simply severely psychotic. Of course I don't know what that kind of pain would feel when you're in pain medications.
I would consider like any other method, look for other alternatives, like anything but that.
