At one point in time, I was considering turning the car on in the closed garage and just staying in there with it. I’ve heard the exhaust will just put you to sleep before killing you. Did a google search, turns out that it will cause severe brain damage before death. The process takes a little while, so if I would get interrupted, then….brain damage for life.
My cousin tried that and can barely walk or string a sentence together now. He got interrupted before he died but after he'd damaged his brain pretty badly. He's been like that for about 30 years now, I think.
What if we had a tattoo on our chest or our will on our lap that says, "Do not resuscitate! Do not try to revive or save! Give no life-saving measures!"
Thank you, friend. I promise you, I'm not about to do anything!
I was just genuinely curious about it. I never thought about the fear of not being successful at my own unaliving. So, I was just wondering. Again, as awful as what I just said was... I'm not going to act on my sometimes constant, sometimes fleeting thoughts.
My fear is leaving my children in that way. I hold on to that saying that if we do this, we don't relieve ourselves of our pain. We simply pass it on to those we left behind.
Suicide is the end result of a disease process in your brain. You are not immune to dying by suicide in the same way that you are not immune to dying randomly as a result of any other common health issue that leads to death, for example by a heart attack or a stroke. I've been mentally ill my entire too-long life, and the information gathering you're doing here is part of that disease process, and it's one that you can stop. Don't seek this shit out. Go to the doctor and get your meds adjusted-for the sake of your kids.

This was big for me. I'd research methods and what would turn me off was not the "CALL FOR HELP" messages.
It was reading about how "Well you could overdose but you're more likely to wind up disabled and in serious pain than dead".
