Do you think it’s painful? I have come across stories of others who have chosen this methos to have appeared to have thrashed around during their last moments, making me think that this might actually be a very dreadful way to go. I can only hope that the thrashing happens after the brain loses consciousness…
Any thoughts on this? Either educated guesses or preferably factual based, but any input would be appreciated.
Much thanks in advance,
CT

That’s not a fail safe method. Likely chance you could survive, and have intestinal problems for the rest of your life. And if you do die, it will be just as painful, and may still take hours. I wouldn’t do it, but i’m not you.
that sounds painful
Snuffles, why do you say that? I haven’t read of it ever taking more than a few breaths, a few minutes and it doesn’t seem that there are many survivors, if any? I was more worried about the Pain…
No, it’s very possible to survive. When I was at a middle school party, some kid decided it would be a bright idea to drink detergent. In about five minutes after, he began vomiting blood. As soon as paramedics got there they shoved a tube down his nose and throat, and began pouring water down both tubes. He was in the hospital for a couple weeks and when he got out, he couldn’t eat solid food for a couple months.
I know we are not supposed to discuss methods, bu killing oneself is pretty fool proof and painless if you know what you’re doing.
I dont know how old you are but killing our self because others have hurt us does not make very much sense. Better to be alone or find someone who makes you happy.
We are all gonna die. Nothing wrong with wanting to be in control when the time is right for you. I suggest the book Final Exit to learn what youre doing,, but before you take the plunge back into non-being, I would try to find a way out of the ‘cage.’ Would you say your age? Pardon if I missed earlier posts (Do not drink detergent or radiator coolant or any such insane thing, that much is certain.
It’s not a peaceful death, you’re at risk of harming other around you and/or responders, and it’s agonizing as all living hell. There are definitely better ways. (Leave it to Japan to even have stupid suicide trends)
I did make some big, clear and detailed warning signs so as not to harm emergency response personal or others. Do you really think it’s agonizing tho? That’s disappointing to hear.
it is AWFUL. you want to puke instantly. I tried to drink bleach eight years ago when I was sixteen. to this day the smell of bleach makes me want to puke. same with drano. I even poured the littlest bit into a big glass of Orange juice… gagged
Mannikin I am 41. What he did to me is the proverbial final straw. I was already struggling to endure life for many years, but now he has destroyed whatever lifeline I still had remaining. I would love to read that book, but I actually can’t even buy myself a book right now, believe it or not. I wish I could trade books with someone who has it. He even robbed my Ereader and laptop, so all I have left is this phone.
Detergent suicide is not about ingesting anything, but rather mixing two common products to form a highly toxic gas. I know it’s a gray area of conversation, but I’m so thankful for this site because without it I’m all alone with this. :'(
This is not an impulse thought, I’ve been seriously contemplating all the angles for a long time now.
Thank you everyone for your replies. They really do help.
does she know about this plan?”??????
Hi cagedtiger,
Take your time. You’re not alone. I know we feel that way. And that the world and life seem to conspire against us, or our so-called loved ones betray us. It sounds like you have been having a rough time for a while now. Still, things can get better in the blink of an eye and when you least expect it.
Do you mind if I ask what state or country you’re in ? I live in NY.
If you could just free yourself from the toxic people in your life.. whatever monetary things this ahole stole can be replaced. A new job, a change of scenery, a different approach,, new friends, apt, etc,,, none of these are guaranteed to work but you might be surprised that they can help enough to at least have a more positive emotional experience.
I havent even been through anything as terrible as what you have, but I still struggle. I think most of us do. I have developed some ways to cope and you can too. Some days are still a struggle, sure. Look what emotions are; states we pass through (or seem to get stuck in), but states none-the-less.
anyway,,, feel free to email (ha.pakal@yahoo.com) any time.
Hi mannikin,
I’m not that far from you actually, though I’m in Canada (Quebec).
A new job won’t be possible for now as I’ve had some bad luck for the past 4 years. Before this jerk robbed me, I was assaulted by a stranger and my right hand was left disabled (a bone broken in 2 pieces) which resulted in my losing my career. Now I live on a very small amount of money, even tho I used to make a very good living placing advertising for companies online, mostly on fb, but all over the internet. That was the beginning of the end I guess. Then this jerk came along and finished me off. Surgery to fix my hand was not only unsuccessful, but actually made it much worse and no doctor will go near it for a corrective surgery either. I’ve begged 7 different surgeons. I don’t care. I’m done here.
If you don’t mind my asking, what brings you here? Also, how old are you? I just wonder because sometimes when you’re older like me (41) you’ve maybe had more time for things to improve or to try different treatments, but at 18 I feel that so much could still change. Anyways, I’m just curious, but of course I don’t want to invade your privacy so by all means don’t think I won’t understand if you don’t want to share!
Peelasquid by she, I’m guessing that you mean the person who robbed me. I’m a girl and he’s a guy, but it was not an intimate relationship. Just me trying to help a desperate human in need. He does not know, but I do tell him regularly that he has destroyed me and what was left of my life beyond repair. Only you, at sp, know of my plans to exit and how, which is why I appreciate the support so much.
And just to clear up any misconceptions, I have no intentions to drink any detergents. Just breath in the fumes from mixing a couple together in a small, confined airtight, space.
Yeah.. I been reading up on it. Looks pretty deadly and a major pain in the ass for the first responders who would need hazmat suits, and that is if you do it in a car or tent away from others. Read ‘Final Exit’, its like a dollar on Amazon. You can probably find the pdf online free. Much easier and cleaner than all that.
I was going to use a tent and many large detailed warning signs all over the woods leading up to my body. I don’t want to hurt anyone. My wallet was stolen when he robbed my house so my accounts are all blocked until I go in to get new accounts in person, which I’m too depressed to find the motivation to do so. So amazon is out for now. And I only have this crappy phone to access the internet with since every electronic has been robbed, so downloading a book is out. I’d love to read it tho when I am able to. Thank you. I help people every chance that I get and have my whole life. I wish I felt that someone was there for me. It’s sad that I feel that the most here from people who have no idea who I even am. God, I am SO depressed and just done. Thank you so much for everything.
Hey CagedTiger,
I can send you a copy. I left you my email on one of these posts.. You can email me direct. What brought me here originally was probably what brings most of us here: the desire for self-annihilation. I was having suicidal ideation. And a big part of it is just choice and control. Because we are such automatons, programmed by billions of years of evolution to grasp onto life at all costs,,,part of me rebels against that with the will to die. That doesnt mean I dont fear death.. it just means I fear the pain of being alive even moreso.
I’m generally pretty functional but feel that life is generally (aside from barbaric) completely useless. I see much more suffering than joy, selfishness than selflessness and am generally repulsed by the moral climate of the universe and of nature in general. And imagine it will only get worse.
Helping others, even if only in small ways, learning new things, art, music, photography, an occasional good conversation, friends, -tho Im almost always alone nowadays), reading or speaking to interesting people,, and maybe travel, -even if it is only every year or two, are pretty much the only things that give my life any meaning.. and it’s an effort to stay here. Because generally speaking, I find life to be a useless chore, I would rather had never been imposed on me. Now that Im here,, I will deal with it the best I can..but I certainly want to be prepared for any eventuality. Im very glad I never had children. In fact I consider it it one of my greatest achievements,,, -bringing more sentient being into the ‘thresher of life’ can never be a completely good thing.. whereas non-being is like Mark Twain said, “I was dead for millions of years before being born and it never caused me the slightest inconvenience.’ (tho I know most people feel differently)
I read the book Final Exit years ago because I helped an old elderly friend end her life (she was 82 and had had 2 strokes). Im a few years older than you are.
Anyone else have any info or opinion regarding how painful this method may be?
