Suicide by table salt?

[anorexic-pigeon]

I've done some research on the lethal dose of table salt and it's affects. I know it's painful, so don't try to dissuade me from it. I'm just poor and don't have the courage to do anything other than poisoning of some sort. I'm just having trouble doing the math. I have math anxiety and just suck at it in general. Anyone want to helo me figure out the lethal dose for a 97 pound person?

250 grams (per the wiki) . And you will die from brain swelling after a very long painful death. But most likely will be saved first bcuz you'll be so sick unless you're alone for several days, someone will take you to a hospital or you'll call for help yourself.

please read this entire thread .. I thought this too.. but think again after reading this

Theres also option where you drink too much water, it also makes your brain swell and you die.

Or merge all that salt in gallons of water and do both at same time. Im joking, dont do that.

I do not recomend either tho. Theres other budget methods avaliable out there

You do not understand what you are considering getting yourself into. Do not do it.

I would recommend finding a salternative method......

Wheres that captain Picard face palm when you need it. hahaha

This sounds like the grimmest method I've heard of yet. I think I'd rather go with a chainsaw than this

Dip the blades in salt first and get the worst of both methods!

Giga unreliable method tbh, there are so many other things you can do to your body if you don't care about pain, this will likely achieve nothing.

 

[PurpleHaze77]

If i'm not wrong you could end in a bed with brain damage for the rest of your life

Please stay. None of us are salty over your remark.

Thank you, that put a big grain on my face.

Big grain of salt is only thing i could think of

A big (grin)... It was another terrible attempt at a joke, but let's forget about it, no need to rub salt in the wound.

Wow, really impressive behaviors on this thread.

OP was quite clear about not dissuading and what help was being requested. @Living sucks met the criteria of the OP. She educated.

From there, the thread degenerated into dissuasion and outright making fun.

How many of you who dissuaded complain on other threads about how no one listens to you irl, it's only about their reactions to what you say and they just virtue signal? Respectfully, I suggest this may be a good time to check in with yourself about your own human imperfections, and recognize and act on your values. It's a good opportunity.

And the mob behaviors here? Oh, it's all in good fun. It's not even about the OP.

No, it's about everyone else but the OP. The whole thread is.

I'm sorry

Clearly.

In general I'm baffled by the use of humor in suicide threads.. seeing someone post lol or lmao after discussing SN or hanging or dying distresses me. I've mentioned it before and was told it's a coping mechanism for some so I try to ignore it.. I wish sarcasm could be limited to the recovery and off topic sections unless the OP has clearly welcomed it.

but when someone says they're too poor and desperate to use anything available, it's not funny. I'm in this situation and I'm going to suffer using SN so I sympathize. Sorry that I am the ultimate downer with no sense of humor, I'm dying and bitter about it.

Hopefully @anorexic-pigeon will heed the warnings and not try this. It's a horrible way to end life.

I'm feeling like utter shit about my life and situation, and while I'm glad there is no one telling me that my life is worth living or whatever, I just wish people could be a little more empathetic towards me. I'm at my boyfriend's house currently because I just escaped my abusive family at 19. I can't purchase anything online bc he'll see it and I can't purchase anything at the store because he drives me. I have my hands tied behind my back. I can't do anything. Bleach or other poisons are far worse. I have no way to cut. I have no way to jump. I have no way to do anything else. I either poison myself with tylenol and wait the three days for my organs to fail, which won't work because they'll take me to the hospital, or I do this and get a stroke. I'm desperate. I just want to die. I'm willing to do anything so if anyone has a better idea for my situation I'm all ears.

@OP: Please forgive us for being immature. I think most of us were tunnel-visioning on the fact we perceive ingesting salt a supposedly more painful way to die. But then again I think to myself like who said any other method is sure guarantee without pain? It's all hypothetically speaking and is a case by case basis.
For this reason I apologise OP. Sorry for my ignorance.

But I insist you find another method if possible.
*Sending hugs your way*

To be fair, on a practical note, assuming you'd be ingesting the salt by water, it seems highly unlikely you'd succeed without vomiting up the contents of what you consume. I've never heard of anybody succeeding with this method.

 

[Giraffey]

I fear that this was my fault, derailing the thread and potentially preventing a meaningful discussion from taking place subsequently (it's hard to follow a humorous exchange with something more serious), so for my part in that I apologise to the OP. I intended no disrespect or condescension, but I was deeply ignorant, disrespectful and immature.

I'm very sorry @anorexic-pigeon, especially having read your reply above regarding the horrible situation in which you find yourself.

On a serious note then, as others have pointed out - poisoning by salt is a prolonged and unpleasant way to die (which raises questions as to the strength of your survival instinct and the length of time you'd need to be alone). If you're sure that you want to CTB and you're looking for a method that doesn't require purchasing anything, perhaps it's worth looking at the various hanging methods (there is a megathread), the night-night method, or perhaps even drowning (when combined with a hyperventilation technique to ensure you pass out and don't suffer during the process). Each has various pros and cons that have been debated and discussed at length on the forum in the past.

Again, I'm sorry for my part in this, sending hugs.

Google search. Plenty of medical literature and other results.

I realise you're poor but the SN method costs less than 50 euro. Is this out of your range?

You and others may have overlooked that OP stated:

I can't order anything online without my boyfriend or his family seeing it unfortunately

I've thought about hanging. Or strangulation by other means. I don't want my boyfriend to have to find my body.
My first plan was to get drunk and take my boyfriend's benzos at the park at night then tie a zip tie around my throat to cut of circulation to my head or whatever. But I tested out the ties and they're too small. I couldn't find any ropes in the garage.

Ok first, you are now safe. You have a bf that cares and a family willing to take you in.
Find comfort in that.
Maybe it's possible now you can work on some healing techniques to try to find peace with living instead of dying?
i can't suggest you take your life or offer ways to do that, it's unethical. But since you have no options at all, that don't involve torturous agony, you are stuck with living.

Use your bf for support. Talk about things. Tell him. Let him and his family love you.

i wish I had more to offer but I don't.
The only possibility is hanging as others have mentioned .. but consider location .. i know it's frowned upon to say this but, devastating this family that took you in would be horrible.

@autumnal. Fucking stop it .. just stop .. haha? NO! It's not funny. It's inappropriate here but you can't seem to figure out when it's ok and when it's not. Would it feel good if someone poked fun at your past attempts? Why aren't you using your previous attempt knowledge to educate instead of being sarcastic. I mean Jesus you have vast experience of what not to do.

Hi,

Have been browsing the boards and megathreads for over a week now and thought I'd share some questions.

Attempted an overdose with prescription medication, but was found and briefly hospitalised in psych ward.

Have attempted with NN method but had very little luck in finding and sufficiently compressing my carotids.

Same poor result attempting with tourniquet/ligature method.

Have attempted with C02 in bag (vinegar/bicarb reaction) but SI led to tearing it off.

Have attempted cutting carotids with a knife but missed and instead cut something more minor which bled quite profusely for a while but ultimately clotted.

I am now looking at either one of the drugs mentioned in the megathreads (SN/N/F etc) or an exit bag using helium/nitrogen/argon.

Being in Australia, customs importation regulations and restrictions on gasses and medication sales are both very stringent compared to elsewhere in the world.

Can anyone with some local knowledge suggest sources for any of the drugs and gasses involved? Feel free to PM me if easier/more discreet.

Autumnal

Sorry OP.. I'm in a ripping bad place knowing I'm dying soon .. like you're desperate to die, I'm desperate to live. And I am too sensitive for the funny crap in the wrong places.

I've tried. I hate that I'm suicidal. I want to heal. But I've been suicidal since I was 8. I've attempted 5 times in the last year. I've been in extensive therapy. I'm medicated. I've been hospitalized. I've been in residential treatment. I've tried to take comfort in the love of my boyfriend and the other's in my life.
Nothing has worked. I'm still suicidal. I'm still a worthless piece of shit. I'm broken. I don't even remember who I was before I was broken. I am seeing a new psychiatrist on the 7th. I'll wait to see the effects of that. I can wait to see if things get better but I doubt they will.
