The Internet.
What a strange place.
What a dangerous place.
You can find literally anything on the internet and I mean anything. All it takes is a simple google search and *poof* over thousands of pages pop up on your computer. I’ve been suicidal for quite some time now and have done hours and hours of research on what’s the best way to kill myself, and it’s amazing that it was so simple for me to find not only methods but how, when, even where to do it. Hell, I’m pretty sure I could google “Where to hide a dead body” and I would get at least a few legit answers. I wonder how different my life would be without the internet or if it would be different at all… To me, it’s just so strange how death can just be one click away.

True, you can find anything. But that also means you can find a ton of BS. There are tons of false sites telling you how to kill yourself and where to buy the necessary materials. But obviously since the people publishing the info are still alive, they can’t be that much of an authority.
One of the most valuable things SP used to provide was info on what methods do NOT work. Unfortunately in the last year or two I guess people have been complaining/reporting even helpful (life-saving) discussions, so you’ll have to go back a few years where method threads are grandfathered and left up.
No, you won’t find step by step instructions on how to top yourself. You’ll find tons of threads on how “foolproof” methods failed. How “trusted” sources just steal your money and give you charcoal. And how much pain & further insult people endure in their quest for the magic method while being exploited and cheated.
@Salt True I do see your point. A lot of it is BS but there are real ones out there. I find to usually find legit sites is digging a little deeper than the first pop-up. While most is about failed attempts and etc. There are some that have scientific facts and even videos.
It’s a shame that useful post are being reported or blocked ):
There actually have been step by step tutorials (at least that I have found). One example is Jerry Hunt. (If you do decide to research him it’s best to type carbon monoxide next to his name). There isn’t a ton out there but there are some. But, I do agree with you about how you will mainly find threads of attempts and stories.
I’ll definitely give it a look, I could use a few tutorials on a day like today. I’ve seen some videos, and it boggles my mind how easy it seems for some people, while others aren’t so lucky and have to deal with the aftermath of failed attempts.
I go back-and-forth on the subject. Sometimes you want all the information clearly laid out so nobody has a botched attempt. But then I wonder how many “botched attempt” were people who truly weren’t ready, so it’s a good thing that they didn’t have all the right info.
Yeah i know there’s tons of website full of methods. Let’s take a prescription drugs overdose, they’re saying which drugs but none of those works properly and people ending up with brain damage and etc. Most of people wants easy and painless method but i don’t think there’s painless ways. If even you found one it’ll be hard to take your own life at least for me. You’re just like me i guess worrying to not leave your death body to someone. I remember i was looking for method and i found body donation and fuck them. They’re saying you have to be non smokers and healthy, wtf? They’re not Even confidential. Fuck the world when i can’t even committ suicide without worrying about things, my family they’re only reason i can’t do this. I would say it’s living for sake of others. Why can’t i be just for myself? But here’s one thing i advice you to not try to overdose on prescription painkillers, sleeping pills and etc.. I know many people failed.. You know why? Anything you find on Google most of the websites are general information and for advertising purpose i guess? They’re not writing that only drug overdose is not enough and you have to mix it in something.
Are used to hear about a lethal [???] cocktail that could be made from OTC drugs. I put [???] up there because I didn’t want to violate the rules, but more importantly because I forgot what it’s called 😛 There used to be a pro suicide group on Yahoo groups that had recipes for such things. The problem with unmoderated groups like that is they act like magnets for trolls. So they aren’t exactly supportive places to go, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the trolls deliberately post bogus methods. I guess like we are saying there’s a lot of truth in a lot of lies out there. I gravitate toward the classic (violent) methods that have been around for thousands of years, but I admit I would love it if I could find the holy Grail, that calm, peaceful, painless way to go .
@Salt
I know right? I’ve seen some of these videos and it amazes me how easily it is for them. I think so many people do pills because its the easiest way. All you have to do is swallow, no thinking, no second thoughts. The only problems with pills like you and @Woodesity said it’s not really lethal unless you get the right cocktail. Anytime I have tried with knives or other violent ways I always end up getting second thoughts. Its like a part of me wants nothing more than to just end it all but there’s also a tiny voice in the back of my head that just won’t let me go through with it. I have thought about suicide by cop, but if that goes wrong I could end up in jail…
In my opinion, the best way to die is to die in your sleep.
