I just attempted what I had planned before. I filled a bag with helium, exhaled then tied it tight around my neck. It started ok, after maybe 20-30 seconds I couldn’t breathe in anything, I tried to distract myself from it by crawling around, but panic took over and I ripped the bag off.
I’m guessing either I couldn’t get enough in the bag to make me pass out first. It was risen above my head even when I took the bag off, but I couldn’t inhale anything. I’m going to say I botched this attempt…sad, it was the first one in years. I feel even worse now, I can’t even kill myself…

bummer. have you red “final exit”?
Nope. I’m aware i should have, but oddly I’m too stingy to buy a book
I guess that was not your final exit
Please try to talk to a counselor.
what do you mean “I couldn’t breathe in anything”
you’ll be breathing in the gas is done properly
Forget about helium please. I mean, instead, why dont you tell us your case in detail to see if we can help. If we cannot help, then some specialist may.
The fact that you panicked is good in the sense that actually you did not believe you were doing the right thing. Therefore, do please seek the adequate help and tell us about it.

You have to keep the bag attached to the helium tank with the helium flowing.
See that’s where I know I botched it, in reality I was hoping to pass out from the helium then just eventually suffocate from the bag being on my head. It worked in the sense that I was able to get the bag virtually air tight, so theoretically it COULD have worked if I hadn’t panicked.
I spent all night thinking about it, and had actually come to the conclusion that I wanted to. In all honesty I didn’t think my ghetto-helium back would work the way I had hoped, but once I get an idea stuck in my head it’s hard to let go.
I posted my story here:

Do a knot in the cord so the bag doesn’t come off.
You don’t actually die from suffocation,you die from brain death.You don’t feel any suffocation that you would usually from carbon dioxide build up.
@ n o o m,
