That’s a horrible way to die. Do some research on the way the Japanese kids do it now and days, it’s pain and suffering free.
It really wasn't bad. I got to the point where my vision started getting fuzzy before deciding to open the bag. I was able to keep calm and take slow breaths and relax. Went into it without actual intent to follow through, but wrote a quick note anyways, just in case I decided to go through with it or an accident happened. Though, I've been into autoerotic asphyxiation since I was an experimental teenager, so I have practice/it's not mentally horrifying to me like it is to normal people. Don't do breathplay often, because I don't have anyone to do it with to keep me safe, but I'm almost past caring
You have made me curious - I tried to find what you were talking about, but all I could find on novel Japanese suicide methods was a trend of "detergent suicide" around 2008, i.e. hydrogen sulfide gas poisoning. Is that what you meant? If so, it can endanger first responders and inconvenience neighbors with evacuation. Inert gas is equally painless and much more socially responsible.
Oh no that is definitely not the way. I can’t find a reference to the documentary I watched and I won’t go into details here but here is link to place in particular I was talking about: https://allthatsinteresting.com/suicide-forest-aokigahara
Hanging is a lot worse to me than unrestricted asphyxiation. I don't care for the pain of my throat getting crushed, with rebreathing until I die I just have to deal with the panic. Like ofc it's not comfortable but if you keep calm and take slow breaths it hits a peak of discomfort pretty quick and doesn't get much worse
Check out gradual fill CO2. It'll get you where you're going, should it come to it.
Hypothermia on a snowy night will be my way to go. Alcohol dilates the blood vessels, so you don't feel the cold. Make sure to pick a spot that's not too crowded, so your corpse can rot a bit in the spring, before being found.
Certainly beats getting hit by a train, which I witnessed a few years ago.
