You know what ive learned from this site? There ins’t the best or painless or easy way of dying. Newsflash: they all will suck, hurt and be difficult to complete.
There are some painless ways to go but as you said, difficult to do. But that’s a good thing.
People will always take the easiest path. If painless suicide were easy, too many people would take that path instead of exploring other options that might be difficult, but better in the long run.
Ending it all is not something you do on a whim. It needs a lot of thought, and I’d urge anyone to seek other avenues first.
If you think hanging is easy you are sordidly mistaken. It’s not all about the noose – it’s about making a calculation based on your weight and drop-height. And it’s not nice if you get it wrong, you will take a good few minutes to suffocate, and your body will fight against your will to stay alive.
14 stone (196 lbs.) 8 ft. 0 in.
13 1/2 stone (189 lbs.) 8 ft. 2 in.
13 stone (182 lbs.) 8 ft. 4 in.
12 1/2 stone (175 lbs.) 8 ft. 6 in.
12 stone (168 lbs.) 8 ft. 8 in.
11 1/2 stone (161 lbs.) 8 ft. 10 in.
11 stone (154 lbs.) 9 ft. 0 in.
10 1/2 stone (147 lbs.) 9 ft. 2 in.
10 stone (140 lbs.) 9 ft. 4 in.
9 1/2 stone (133 lbs.) 9 ft. 6 in.
9 stone (126 lbs.) 9 ft. 8 in.
8 1/2 stone (119 lbs.) 9 ft. 10 in.
8 stone (112 lbs.) 10 ft. 0 in.
The above table shows weight and reccommended drop
This is actually a quite important list. Why not give
everyone a ten foot drop? Turns out that with too much
of a drop, if you’re too heavy, you decapitate
yourself, which is both quite messy, and doesn’t give
the right impression. After all, you want to be found
hanging there, with your suicide note neatly pinned to
your chest, or perhaps tastefully left on the table
beside you, and not with your body in one place and
your head in another, with a few shards of flesh
hanging from the rope. Also remember that this was
for heavy hanging rope, and that thinner rope might
not survive the snap at the end of the drop. In other
words, to do yourself in with your belt, or zipcord,
you will have to strangle yourself, and not break
your neck. Another popular way to kill oneself is with
impalement. In the past, falling on one’s sword was a
means of doing this, but these days, a good sword is
so hard to find, so this method has fallen out of
fashion. One of my grandmother’s roomers did manage
to do himself in this way, by sitting on an upright
vacuum cleaner, and falling backwards on to it, but
it was never settled as to whether or not this was
an intentional suicide, or simply a very messy accident
during a dangerous sexual practice. And do, please,
let people know. This fellow was not found for three
days, and it was quite difficult to get the smell and
stains out so that the room could be let again.

There are some good painless ways out there. I’m still searching myself for that way.
i agree with indigo
suicide can be messy too
Most of them have the ability to go horribly worg and they all seem to have their pros and cons too which sucks. Just wish this wasnt so hard
*wrong*

Hang yourself from your doorknob, takes about two minutes and if know one is there you are sure to die.
Hanging is easy, i have a video on how to make a noose, plus you become unconsious before death.
So it is just like going to sleep.
