What is the closest you have got?

[Walilamdzi]

To attempt or completion?

 

[C_F]

Fairly far. Doctor told me, angrily, that I was minutes away from dying due to the amount of CO in my blood. I felt proud. lol

CO seems like one of the better methods, was it painful with headaches and things? Did you have any lasting effects from the attempt?

 

[C_F]

I got very nauseous out of nowhere, but that's all. I'm very susceptible to nausea though. No lasting effects.

I had a pill addiction when I was 13 and was taking a combo of my dad's prescriptions + otc meds. One day, I came home from school and OD'd - My body slowed down, I was moving like a 90 year old, lost consciousness and ended up with my stomach pumped. It stinks when you realize later you would have been better off successful back then.. That was about 17 years ago.

I have 3 attempts but none got me into hospital apart from a check up. Hanging you can't really go to hospital for unless you are found alive.

 

[weazelone]

I put a bag on my head and tried 3 different times the same morning, if it weren't for the aggravation of the plastic going into my mouth I would have done it to completion. My next (and hopefully last) attempt will be by firearm.

 

[nerve]

Doing "test runs" for SN except with normal table salt lol. Like just checking what it's like to do the measuring and weighing and mixing and how I might feel.

It felt pretty good!

 

[Diocel]

tried at 14 but failed

 

[Deleted member 17949]

That that far. Was about to do partial but hesitated just as I'd put my head in the noose. Large part of the hesitation was because I was in a really awkward position. I thought for a while and just gave up on that attempt, wasn't in the mood anymore.

 

[TheNorthernSilence]

I set a date for a certain week but eventually backed out.

 

[soda_pressed]

Not very far. I tried partial hanging for 2/3 minutes but only felt a bit dizzy afterwards

 

[KiraLittleOwl]

Probably taking a tiny sip of SN. Tried hard with partial too. SI is strong

Within the last two months, there have been 5 specific times I've gone out and put a loaded gun to my head in an effort to go through with it. Last few where when I held it up for a bit to try to psych myself into it. It's been about 2 weeks now since I've last attempted. as someone into firearms, I really don't want to be just another statistic, but, damn it just seems so easy. I've had a few other *minor* instances, but never got the gun up to my head in those instances.. so, I'd have to say seconds away..

Lately the exit bag method seems really like something I'm wanting to do, but I really don't want to go down the path of sourcing nitrogen....

 

[Eurus]

I believe of my three attempts,full suspension hanging I came the closest,I was out for 4 days,I'll go full suspension again for my final attempt if I cannot acquire a gun or a partner with a gun or a partner for another method.

 

[SnakeTeam93]

Well my normal life accidents have been more dangerous and life threatening than my 4 attempts......

 

[Qbert]

Passed out hanging and then my anchor point broke...

 

[BitterlyAlive]

I had an aborted attempt a few months ago. Almost crashed into a semi as we were both merging onto another part of the highway. It was just us because it was the middle of the night. We were both merging at about 80mph. I was three feet away before I remembered that I didn't want to kill myself like that; I hit the gas and barely managed to avoid a collision.

Looking back, it probably wouldn't have killed me...but I was so ready to die. I don't want to traumatize innocent people though. Also, it was very impulsive - I think the attempt was due to my medication.

 

[TowerUpright]

Came close - Would have been successful if SI didn't kick in and I called 911. Ended up with very low, irregular heart rate, in the ER, and my sight becoming very narrow. I remember being amused at the Paramedics trying to figure out WTF was wrong.

Had shock pads on me and they were ready to start jolting, I was told later.

Two more days in the ICU with nothing but bad TV, an IV opioid, and a Dopamine drip.

Not a fun experience, from what little I remember.

 

[ssaaahmo]

almost jumped off a tall building but felt bad that someone would have to clean up my gross body so i didn't
almost shot myself many times but didn't for the same reason above

 

[SuicidalSymphonies]

Around 10 minutes until death. I was suffering from diabetic keto-acidosis that I brought on myself on purpose to end my life, but didn't realise my mum was home and ended up being rushed to hospital and saved.

 

[Oh_dear_how_Gastly]

Not very close. I wouldn't have died except maybe from an infection which would have taken at least a week to kill me. I still needed to go to the hospital and needed 9 stitches. Just didn't have any clue about the actual anatomy of the forearm.

 

[muffin222]

I had intended to die by partial hanging last August. I had a set up, I'd read the entire megathread on here about it, and I was raring to go. I ended up getting too drunk to the point of passing out. I woke up hours later covered in vomit with a raging hangover. Divine Intervention? I'll never know

 

[Whale_bones]

A seizure. Hospitalized for 4 days with IVs, heart monitors, etc. It had permanent effects on my cognitive functioning.

 

[Weightoftheworld]

Attempted partial but it was impulsive and obviously didn't work.
I went into status epilepticus last year when I had pneumonia. Had I not been around been people when it happened I would've died. Just can't get the easy way out, ugh.

 

[mathieu]

I overdosed on antidepressants when I was 15. Apparently came close to dying.

What was it like before you passed out? How long did it take to pass out?
I got hit by a car doing 100km/hr and got pretty banged up and had a minor bleed on my brainstem as well as a few other bleeds. The serious crash investigation unit have no idea how I survived.

 

[Eurus]

@Tamazi 123 I remember sadness,panic,suffocating,and darkness for about maybe what seemed like seconds but then darkness and then nothing,

 

[esoragoto]

Noose hung up in the perfect spot around a tree in the woods, but nooses are hard. Fingers crossed with SN.

 

[I screwed up]

Really admire the courage u guys have displayed .. attempting ctb needs guts .... Wish I was so brave..
