i m going to end my miserable life.how?? first i’ll get heavily sedated with alcohol then immerse myself into bathtub then i’ll drown to death.no pain at all.
Well, drowning is actually quite painful. If you have ever choked on something or had issues with breathing, well, magnify that panic and pain by a whole lot, and that’s what it’s like to drown. I’ve tried to drown myself and it wasn’t pleasant.
Secondly, there are obviously a lot of reasons why you feel so low. If you would like to talk about them, please let me know. I won’t judge you and I know how you feel. Take care, be safe.
i guess everyone experiences things differently, but i’m not sure where the idea that drowning is a painless death came from. i’ve heard it a lot from various sources, but in my own experience it just is not true. even with drugs/alcohol
.
none of my suicide attempts have involved drowning, but i have been drowned (had head held underwater) and also been choked/asphyxiated all to the point of unconsciousness. granted, it was always at the hands of someone else (not a choice that i made for myself), so it’s not exactly the same situation. but there was definitely A LOT of pain and panic and terror involved every time- from the air supply being cut off alone (not just because of the violence).
and some of the times i was sedated with various kinds of drugs and/ or alcohol at the time, but that didn’t take away the pain or primal terror. granted, the drugs were given to me as a method of control, so i didn’t control the dose, but still. i’m not trying to be graphic, just saying that in spite of being sedated or intoxicated, there was still a lot of pain. which i just say because you mentioned the use of alcohol.
i’ve also heard a number of other accounts of people who tried drowning as a method of suicide (with and and without substances) and found it to be very painful and much more difficult/unpleasant than anticipated
.
i’m not judging you at all, or telling you what to do (or not do). just, for what it’s worth, i just know that particular method may not be as painless as it sounds. and i’m sorry that you are the pain you are in now.
