There Are Better Ways To Kill Yourself

Nail guns are not one of them as apparently even when you shoot yourself with twelve nails, you still might live (linking to a KTVZ copy of the story, as the KGW version requires you to register and makes its a pain to use the BugMeNot extension in Firefox).

Its actually very easy to login to KGW with BugMeNot. Just disable Javascript for a second, log in, and switch it back on.

Or, I could just get the content from elsewhere and save myself the trouble and give somebody else the traffic and ad revenue 🙂

Paul says:

Of course. My bad. 🙂

Phil says:

There was thing man tried to paper cut himself to death but only went paranoid with 3157 paper cuts and enough paper fiber in his body to make a notebook but he had major surgery in to his body to get out the fiber and when that didnt they had to give him a lethal injection to get it out of his body but once they got it out he came right back to life. seems that injection fluid only went to the paper fiber instead of his blood stream.

god life really isnt worth living and it pisses me off that im too much of a candy ass to just pull the trigger

ladonna says:

well i agree but if i was going to kill myself im doing it by slitting my wrists and leaveing a crypitic note

Andre says:

Funny, but a person can even screw up when using a gun to off him or her self. And it is just so easy and evenly cowardly to simply use a gun to resolve the angst and torment within. There is something artistic and romantic in the more creative ways one can dream of to off-one’s self, and while nail guns could be used to make such an artistic statement, I feel there is nothing quite as lovely as exquisitely executed corpse that has been deftly hung from the hall brace with an electrical cord.

Will says:

Yah what about people who try and hang them selfs and end up retarted. thats the worst.. i need a pill 1 pill sleep over, no messy blood or anything.

Josh says:

OD on anti-depression pills and wine, but leave two notes… One is a clear note about how you are doing better (place it in a personal journal or w.e) and that you have gone to see a shrink who put you on the pills. Then, leave another note that is a cryptic one about your girlfriend or whatever leaving you and how you know that taking one more pill will make you feel better. If you can, die holding the note!!! Oh, as a courtesy you could go get a really expensive bottle of wine and leave it for the person who finds you to cope with (along with some extra pills). Stocking the fridge with as many different kinds of alcohol you can find, then littering your floor with roses or something of the sort is a good touch.

Rommel says:

I agree, shooting yourself or even hanging yourself can be messy and even leave you in a vegetative state if you mess things up. Go to http://www.rotten.com if you want to see some pretty gruesome pics of suicide attempts that have failed and left the victims in a worse state than before the attempted the feat. My advice: find that tall building that still allows people to go on its roof, or better yet one whose windows open and is over the 8th floor and just jump out, its a nice free fall, and after the splat its pretty painless and you don’t know what happened. At least that’s what I am surmising. Who really knows what happens after we die or especially kill ourselves? Karma can be a tricky thing you know.

this s–t is krazy!!!!

Rommel says:

Craziness and s–te is a matter of one’s own perspective. Personally, you have no idea of the Kafkaesque hell I am currently going through, and the fact that right now the Secret Service actually have me pegged as someone shadowing Bush to, you know, off him. Which is utter bull s–t. But read Kafka’s “The Trial” for a better perspective on how mental illness can win you the ire and paranoia from those who claim to be looking out only for your “best interests” — hence give me a way out, and I would prefer someone to kill me rather than I to off myself to be rather frank about it.

Rommel says:

oh, and little Leanna, if that is her real name has a page on Reunion.com and claims to be a 15 year old from Clarkesville, TN. Well, a teenage girl might know a thing or two about angst, but she sure doesn’t know anything about about the real or lasting effects of mental illness. The book “Girl, Interrupted” did a pretty good job of touching on the subject but was cursory and superficial at best , if anything what it did best and what the world in general lacks is empathy and the ability to genuinely listen to and appreciate those who are suffering and in pain. And suicide is not so much a selfish act in many cases as it is a plea for help, and wanting to die is more a cry or plea of desperation and loneliness, but those of you who don’t know, or have never experienced mental illness would never know that. And I doubt if Leanna has as well. Leanna launched, or attempted to launch a website entitled “www.leannahatesyou.com” and it just goes to prove how immature and childish she at 15 really is, and how much she needs to learn and grow. The term “utter bored” and “utterly boring” has a completely different context for me, and I suppose Leanna was just looking up “ways to kill yourself” on a lark, well, toots, welcome to the dark world of clinical depressive mental illness, it is dark and it ain’t pretty and I have been suffering with this crap since 1978. What’s your, or anyone else’s excuse?

Roi says:

What is the best pill to get the job done as far as killing myself? Does anyone have a clue. Barbituates?

Rommel Miller says:

No one pill will do it, you need a whole mess of them, and different ones with differing purposes help too, so does washing them down with plenty of vodka. Look at what did Heath Ledger in, it wasn’t one pill, it was the combination of several working together to shut his system down, that with his drinking and just pill popping in general led to the shut down of his organs. Personally, I like the idea of suicide by cop these days, its a state sanctioned from of offing yourself. Make the gesture like you’ve got a gun and your either going to kill yourself or someone else and go on a bit of an insane rampage, don’t really hurt anyone, just pretend, the cops’ll still take you out if you make them beleive that you are desperate enough. And its not even a suicide per se, THEY killed ya. What’s better than that?

butterfly says:

the darkness just keeps coming at me full force,and i just cant take it anymore! i know i should be looking for a way to survie but just cant do that anymore because i have no reasons.i mean s–t the one person i have wants to die too. lonleiness and heartach are my onlly true friends they seem to be the only ones who stick around. so give me a reason to be missed .

psycotic kid says:

once i almost drowned myself. then i heard a voice saying don’t do it! now one year l8r im thinkin skrew dat voice! I want 2 disapear. There is nothin left 4 me here.

some1dead says:

hmmm. Thinking about a way to kill my self, I really dont want something boring or temporary. There is a really tall building near where I live, I wanted to take a bike up there and then drive off the ledge in day light when ppl are shopping down there. But its tricky, since I have no clue how to take a bike up there. I am way too much of a coward to actually kill myself…but I will..kahan chali gayi hai sari khushi…

Psycotic kid says:

ethan says:

deadinside says:

Dont no everyones situation but I have to say Ive got to the point of suicide…I there right now…..never actually been suicidal b4 but now I understand y ppl get to this stage….I feel some ppl got options and some dont you come to a point or at least I have…. where you hate yourself and you hate the world around you….you see no furture….all hope is gone….you go crazy! I do wanna die but it reality who has the courage to do it? It is selfish because belief it or not it will hurt the ppl around you….if there is a painless way…. post it up I like to know….

JChris says:

Man I feel you deadinside, i hate myself to and i dont think lifes going to get better because i been feeling this way for years,, ppl tried to help me but nothing works, i try not to be negative but i see nothing positive and i have no hope… I am lonely, been depressed, have low self esteem, etc.. and feel i live in a corrupted world in which i will never understand. People and the world are cruel these days. In my mind im going to eventually kill myself i just dont know how, i know some ppl are going to be in pain but they’ll jus have to understand,, i think ill jus do the overdose thing,, one day, i’ll leave a note, one finall goodbye, but i wont be here for long, i just want to let yall know that i love yall who feel my same pain,, you guys are not alone =( i wish i cud meet some of yall and we can talk about are painful experiences and maybe leave this world together so we wont die alone…im only 17 going on 18 on october 14,, but i pretyy much had anough of this thing called life, mine has never been how i wanted it to be, to many regrets, i see no future just even more pain cuz it gets worse as the time goes on….

kagan m says:

I’m thinking about doing it any ideas

hc says:

My mother killed herself when I was 12. I am 28 now and have been wanting to kill myself for 16 years. Somedays more than others. I am really close to ending it. If it is going to happen it will be in the next few days. The only thing holding me back is putting my family through this again. I just want to fall asleep and not wake up. What can I take that I can get easily?

Damian says:

I’ve tried to kill myself before. I tried to O.D, hang myself, cut myself to death. Drowning, jumped in front of a few cars too. None of it worked, sucked ass. And my only “advice” to you looking to kill themselves. Is look up some types of pills, find out what it does, and see how you could get it. Find out stuff. Etc. By the way, I am only fourteen. I know, “don’t have any reasons”. But shit happens. And yeah, hanging yourself, no, if you can manage to pull it off, sweet, if not, you’ll end up paralyzed somehow, or your noose wont be tied right and break or you’ll slip out like I did. And shooting yourself, too messy and cleche. If anything, go to a1b2c3.com. They have some crazy ways to kill yourself, but not very plausible ways, well,. they’d be really hard to pull off…

Paul C says:

You can make a very effective poison out of a large pouch of pipe/chewing tobacco – soak it in a jar of 250ml water overnight, pour off excess water & allow remainder to evaporate. what your left with is concentratred nicotine – about 4-6 drops in a cup of coffee (hides the flavour) and you’ll be pushing daisies within a couple of hours. and the best thing is you’ll be “high”

heidi says:

I hate it when people who are suffering from suicidal wishes think that they have no reason to be feeling that way. There are reasons. No human being wants to kill themselves simply out of morbid curiosity or weakness. Life is a big beat-stick and kicks the crap out of all of us, regardless of age, beauty, strength, skills, background… Reading these comments is helping me calm down. It’s a good reflection.

bagofshit says:

My mum died when I was 15. I had 4 kids by the time I was 27. The fathers never gave me a penny. I had to live on benefits and my wits. My boyfriend fucked my 14 year old daughter she had 2 babies then he killed her boyfriend she became a junky smakhed and stopped talking to me. I got really depressed became alcholic for 10 years I got sober and then found out I got breast cancer I had my tit cut off and I got chrones disease I had an op on my stomach and I have another big scar Now they told me I got the breast cancer in my bones. Now I just want to die there can’t be any reason to keep on suffering.
