So I guess I’ll live up to it.
I attempted the exit bag method. I had two cylinders of helium, and an airtight bag with a good seal around the neck.
After what felt like a very long time, maybe three minutes minutes (I didn’t think to set a timer to catch a failed attempt), I thought: Wait, isn’t this supposed to cause loss of consciousness in 15 seconds? At which point I abandoned the attempt.
I’m not sure what went wrong. Maybe oxygen in the cylinders? It doesn’t confess to such on the tank. Too slow a flow rate, perhaps? The bag was full, the first 3 deep breaths were definitely the cylinder’s contents.
So, I’m still here. In other news, I’ve decided to take up rock climbing.

Thanks for sharing. This method has always seemed way too complicated for my non-science-y brain and people’s failures just reinforce that.
Rock climbing… good for you. I hope you reach some epiphany out there and decide not to end your life. If you’re doing it to fall to your death… uh… please don’t, you might just end up a cripple instead!
Totally agreeing with SadBk. Great work out too!
And it’s just like life. You go up, go back down, and go up again. Not a routine, because you’ll always want to find new rocks to step on, new ways to get there.
My theory on all the exit bag failures is because they’re adding oxygen to helium tanks to prevent suicides. The exit bag should work if the gas is 100% pure.
SadBk and Derailed. Sorry to be a downer, but yeah, that was a bit of black humour. The motivation for rock climbing would be to take a swan dive. I’ve failed with insulin overdose and inert gas inhalation, so next up is blunt force trauma. It has the additional bonus that it can look truly accidental, which will be a comfort to my family.
To tupacorbiggie: If I ever tried inhalation again, I would buy and fill a huge cylinder of ********, I think. That way I would know exactly what was in there. The instructional guides I saw suggested inflating the bag above your head, and then pulling down over the face. I think that sealing the bag around the head near airtight while using a tube to breath oxygen/air through, inflating the bag, then removing the breathing tube would reduce the risk of oxygen seeping in through the neck hole during the ‘pull the bag down’ step.
My last post was under a different username, I forgot the password (There didn’t seem to be much point in noting it, as I didn’t expect to be posting again!).
Yeah I think ******** would be a better choice. Also taking up rock climbing sounds like a good idea. I’m pretty scared of heights though so it’d be rather scary to me. I would like to get a gun but since I had a previous stay in the psych ward because of a suicide “attempt” I can’t get a gun very easily.
I wonder if there’s any tall cliffs near southeast Georgia. That actually sounds like a good idea. Good luck!
police station has my gun tried finishing the mental treatment shit to get it back but I don’t feel like doing that anymore, got lots of high places and rope around me tho
