the most painful suicide

I bet feet-first into a wood-chipper would be far worse than a body bullet. Although i suppose that’s more “terror” than “pain.” It would probably end faster, too, so… i guess you have to weigh severity versus duration. “Most painful” could mean the thing that hurts the longest, instead of the thing that hurts the most intensely.

In that case, death by eternal broken heart, would probably be the worst way to go. That usually includes gradually failing health and all sorts of complications which cause perpetual pain and discomfort, and continuously decrease and ultimately eliminate the ability to recover.

I once read about someone who wanted to try to die of dehydration. Talk about “being a man about it.” Refusing sustenance until death, has got to be quite brutal.

I’ve always personally preferred the idea of quickest, least painful, most reliable and effective. Hugging a nuke, or something. Instant incineration/disintegration would be quite good i think.

I think i would like to choose to live differently, rather than to die intentionally. But i guess we can’t always get what we want.

I would suggest some self-love and pampering. Do whatever makes you feel good, and don’t let anyone tell you you shouldn’t. Consider seeking something that makes you feel good over extended periods of time, but perhaps to a lesser degree, rather than something that feels great for a few moments, but fades too quickly and isn’t reliably attained.
