Top 10 Common Ways to Commit Suicide

I considered several of these list items in the past before getting help.

1. Overdose

   What medicine is best to overdose on?

   What would be the best drug sleeping tablets or something extra quick

   What is the most successful medicine?

2. Hanging Yourself

   I've really wanted to hang myself for close to a year now, I've even made a few types of knots and put it up in my garage. I've made a normal slipknot, hangman noose, and even a plain noose. I took a chair (with wheels), stood on it, put the noose around my neck, but I still couldn't push the chair away... I truly want to die, and have no reason left to live..

   I guess I'm such a coward that I can't even tolerate a bit of pain for a short while to free myself from this constant suffering. I've tried staying awake for long periods of time but so far it hasn't helped... could anybody give me some suggestions? I've thought of adding a timed spring to the chair to just pull the chair away from me after a few minutes but I can't make one. I've thought of just throwing water on the ground while I'm standing on the chair so that the chair can just slip away. Please help me die...I really don't have a will to live anymore...my whole family hates me, I'm jobless and I've pushed everyone I love away from me. Nobody will care if I die, and nobody will attend my funeral or mourn for me...

3. Killing Yourself With a Firearm

   I have my hipoint 9mm on my bed with 4 hollowpoints in it right now. I am so close. I am almost ready. I am so tired of living in this pain. I love my wife so much but I am so sick of alwys being her excuse. I am always the problem and she blames me for everything. I will not live my life alone. I will die first. I'm just waiting to tell my kids my last good bye and tell them how much I love them and that I'm sorry I have to do this so everyone can be happy. I have nobody else. Nobody call me to check on me no body jas anything to do with me except my mother in law. I'm sick amd tired of this hurt and pain. I am so close to ending it all. A few more hours and it will be done

4. Cutting Oneself

   It distresses me to no end that this is a recommended list for me, and honestly part of why I've avoided this site for a while. I don't know how an algorithm can be so poorly put together that it recommends me, someone with a history of depression and self-harm, a list like this. It's the most irresponsible and dangerous site quirk I've ever seen, and I can't believe that this is allowed.

   To anyone reading this and thinking dark thoughts, I'm not going to try and claim I understand your situation, but I'm here to tell you that there's more to life than suffering. Please call the hotline, local crisis lines, teen line if of age, anything you can to help you. I'm sorry life is treating you this way, I wish it would treat me better as well. There's support for you regardless of the situation you're in and you're worth having said support. Please take care of yourselves.

5. Jumping Off a Height

   I am only 12, and my life is more miserable than it should be. I have had more stress, worry, anxiety and depressed thoughs since my parents started to be horrible to me. I don't know why, but at the same time, they have favourited my brother. I have given up on life, I already tried stabbing myself, but my knife was too blunt. This is a really long comment, I'll tie it up quickly...

   Basically, no one loves me, life is awful, I'm glad the website exists, and I'll probably jump out of my window soon. It'll probably be really painful, as my conservatory is below me, but I don't care. I'll see you all on the other side.

   When I do commit suicide, if I ever decide to go through with it (I'm close), this would be the way, find a bridge with a steep drop if you live in an industrial area, or find the tallest building you can to maximize your chance of being successful. I'd imagine that if you do feel pain, it won't be for very long, it'll be a quick passing. As far as I have researched, 15+ stories is the point of no return, As long as you aim for solid hard ground. For me, there's a bridge nearby that is commonly used for suicide, and no one who has jumped has survived.

6. Intentionally Drowning

   I almost died...however I did not have anything like depression. I cannot swim freely underwater whilst at the age of 10 (I am really bad at swimming but I can beat my classmates when I do backstrokes above water. I'm not that hopeless...). I know that this may sound dumb, but I was saved by a stone. I did have to dunk my head in the water and hold my breath, but my feet touched the stone and pushed myself upwards. Afterwards, I closed my eyes and backstroked to a random direction whilst closing my eyes. I have reached the beach again! This occurred in 2015 at the age of 10.

   If you live close to the ocean this method may work for you, has worked for others, just walk in and swim out, and swim out till you can't swim any further. Even of you tried to return to shore fatigue should take hold. I don't have this luxury need another way.

7. Poisoning

   Only cyanide-kalium will work. Or some heavy drugs, but don't forget to take something against vomiting before you try it otherwise it will not work either.

   I'm so close to drinking bleach, how long does it take to die after consuming bleach? I want to die ;-; I feel like nobody cares if I die, I'll be only gossip, I'm not worth any tears anyway ;-;

   I hate my life every one in the world hate me I must take me out of there sight and die. Besides they wont care if I die so it's a win win

8. Bridge Jumps

   As someone who lives in an urban area just two blocks from the busiest bridge in America, this is the way I'm going to go about it. I love the feeling of pain and I believe that a relatively quick but excruciating death is suitable for me, to show the short but sweet life of pain I've lived. The greatest method really all comes down to circumstance, my friend.

   Perfect for those who like a painful death, not so perfect for most of us. The higher the bridge is the more effective this will be, if you fall into water from quite a high place its like jumping onto concrete, all your bones will break and you slowly drown unable to swim back to surface.

9. Jumping in Front of a Train

   I'm sorry for your pain! I too have pain, different from yours but ultimately wanting the same results! I'm so tired of living, and I'm not scared of dying, I only worry about my family. I want them to know it has absolutely nothing to do with any of them! They are wonderful, and I could never ask for any body to be any better! I just can't take living anymore! You sound young, but me...not the case! I'm 52 years old and I have felt this way at least since I was 15 years old! At least 37 years! It wasn't any one thing in particular that made me this way, just an accumulation of a lot of little things, and a good many big things in between. I want to tell you things will get better, but in my own experience that has not happened! PLEASE be 1000%! God have mercy on our souls! Love and peace!

10. Starving Yourself

    Hypothetically, this would be the easiest method since you can do it in the lack of any equipment, and it would make the biggest statement, since it is arguably selfless (in contrast to the "suicide is selfish" argument) and since going through with it would let people know how much long-term certainty you have that you want out. You can also disguise it as non-suicide if you want to evade detection or easily fake it if you want to bluff.

    Try drinking coffee, I have discovered that it kinda stops the hunger, this doesn't work if you want to also die from dehydration. Drink thick liquids every now and then if your feeling so hungry its at the point to where its extremely painful.

The Newcomers
11. ?

    Homemade Bombs

    Homemade grenade in mouth pull pin shoot self in head let grenade finish job. Messy but effective. Suicide note: (optional) Suicide was a mind blowing experience.

    My friend blew himself up with a homemade bomb. I laugh when I think about it now.

    I am suicidal and I already cut so I like this idea.

12. ?

    Sacrifice Yourself to a Satanic Ritual

    Not really sure where I could do this but definitely need the info!

    Where does one find a Satanic Ritual?

    We sacrificed our friend the other day for our satanic cult and it worked wonders 10/10 no other way to do it.

The Contenders

13. Stabbing Yourself

    I tried this once. I have attempted it before. But I don't know what stopped me really. I just had this feeling that I shouldn't be doing this. I was rubbing the knife around my heart then I dropped it. Nothing hurt. Then I tried scissors a different day and I actually went for it (at school) my classmates were staring at me but it just didn't go through. But I have stopped now. And I do hope I never come back to that.

    For some reason, every time i do the dishes and put away a big knife, i have a random urge to stab myself. I know i shouldn't and it's halfway to my heart when i think, "wait… what am i doing?" (I do not have anything like depression, just stating something that happens)

14. Suffocation

    How to suffocate yourself? Like with what shall I do that to myself?

    Turn on a car in a garage and leave the garage door shut.

    Among the least painful, most peaceful and most reliably effective methods out there, especially with Carbon Monoxide.

15. Drowning in Swimming Pool

    Likeliest way for me to kill myself since I have swimming classes

16. Burning Yourself

    Cool, I'll die just like I lived. A hot mess

    So...I kill myself by burning and then I go burn again in hell. double death? I'll take it daddy!

    Might do this tonight or tomorrow. Let's see how I goes.

17. Electrocution

    Doesn't work like in the movies. The fuses will cut out the electricity. Unless if you take the fuse out and make a connection instead with a very big electric wire that doesn't burn or break.

    Woah, most times when your electrocuted you will die as electricity is a very powerful thing to mess with. But I can imagine if your were to try this and you survived, would be painful

    Don't try that guys, that's like the most painfull way, just runaway, start a new life. Leave all those people, they killed the flame inside of you.

18. Freezing to Death

    This is what I thought ever since I came to Virginia. Up here in the mountains it can get really cold and snow two or three or more feet. I feel like I could just walk up there in February when it's really pouring down and set up a little tent just chill for a while and then just let the little fire go out and crawl in my tent just go to sleep. I think I would want to make sure that it's going to be below 20 Fahrenheit. I have some tranquilizers I could take that would make sure that I didn't wake up. I think it would be a nice way to go.

    The effect of hypothermia on your brain decieves you into having a calm, pleasant death, and can be done with absolutely no pain if you avoid frostbite. The main limitation is the availability. For the best experience, an Alpine setting is optimal, because of the nice scenery. Shoving yourself into the fridge just isn't the same.

19. Set Yourself on Fire

    It must hurt a lot you wont die easily specially if the fire is on a small room you might injure yourself so badly but not die. Such as you might have serious fire marks. Another thing is you may poison yourself with Carbon Monoxide this wont kill you easily.

    My friend did this, died following day in hospital he was a brave man I love and miss him.

    All this did was leave me with 3rd dergree burns and now I look like a naked rat. It hurt a lot and now I am going to try cutting

20. Drinking Too Much Water

    This is the closest thing to alcohol, so let me say it...

    I have a permanent liver issue since birth. I'm not saying this so you feel bad for me.

    And since alcohol negatively effects livers, not even overdrinking could cause death (it's 3 times worse).

    So basically I may try doing this if I feel suicidal.

    Normally drinking too much water makes me throw up by the way.

    How much do I have to drink to kill my self?

    How many days does it take until you die by drinking too much water?

21. Step in Front of a Car

    You might even end the person's life that was driving the car. They may see you and turn to avoid from killing you, making them crash into another object. Good job, now you have another reason to kill yourself. Afterlife is rather interesting after all.

    I tried that but someone pulled me out of the way before I could do it also I'm heading back to my hometown soon there are lots of creeks should I jump in one and kill my self. I was born there and I will die there

    Quite a bad idea, you may not die, if you were to do this I would say jumping in front of a bus, lorry, truck that's going about 50 mph that will definitely kill u

22. Inject an Air Into Your Blood Stream

    How reliable is this method? How much air?

    I would recommend biting self. While it may cause pain, if done in weakest places, (kidneys are weakest I think but let's face it, how would you bite you're kidneys/ vagina.) Biting you're arm, then biting where you've bit before is your best bet.

    This causes seizers, and doesn't mean you'll die.

23. Exposure

    Can you suffocate on a-- you know what I'm not gonna finish that sentance from my cursed 13 year old mind.

    But you cannot die from the cold, well, not where I am living...

    Wait...you can die from sweet sweet sex?

24. Quick Stab Into the Throat or Heart

    I am so stupid. I forget everything and have a D- in school. I'm in 7th grade and this is the year that counts the most and I am failing in not only school, but what seems like almost everything else. When I get in trouble I Just keep one talking and arguing and I just get in more trouble. All my friends at school seem to get whatever they want and get to do what they want. They talk about the last time they were at a party or were playing video games together and I can never do those things because I'm an idiot. I have a twin sister who is doing so much better than me in school and goes out with her friends frequently. She also embarases me in school so half the grade knows that I'm a loser. I think I just might give myself an east stab into the throat or to the heart. There is no point in living a life like mine.

25. Stepping in Front of a Motor Vehicle

    Doesn't work or maybe didn't do it right. Was hit passed out woke in hospital broke 4 ribs my arm and something went wrong with the nerves in my spinal cord and can't when I need to go to the bathroom. Now life is 5 times worse planning to try again

    Don't try this

    This has been weighing on my mind, this seems to be the easiest way to me. I hold myself back though because I am sure of all the pain it would cause if it didn't kill me right away though

    I've considered this so much walking to and from school. I even read while walking so it would be easy. I've nearly done it before

26. Smash Your Head Into a Wall Repeatedly

    Studying is too stressful for me. I am weak, I am useless, I am stupid that's what I am. I am too weak to handle the stress of being kicked out of school, I am too useless, all my friends are so smart but they never wanted to teach me anything, I am too stupid that's probably why none of my friends wanted to teach me anything because they hate repeating the same thing over and over again. I read quite a lot of suicide articles but most of them are the same they did not suicide and came back stronger but for me, it doesn't make a difference, so I guess the only way I can come back stronger is by dying and coming back for my second life and so I decided to smash my head into the wall repeatedly because this suicide technique won't involve anyone and no one will no how I died. All the best for me<3. If I'm in the news tomorrow, make sure no one tells my parents I don't want them to be worried about me.

27. Dehydration

    I drunk my shower gel and was unconscious for 3 days, nobody around. So I didn't drink water for 3 days this way and nothing. Drinking shower gel is awful but I think it was just not enough to die. No water 3 days = nothing. All the best!

    I forget to drink water everyday and this only makes you very tired and hazy, which is why I sleep a lot and get bad grades...

    Dehydration will not help.

    I tried this but I only made it to day two before I told my friends who went to my teacher. I'll have to try it again.
