supermike80 1,286 Posted June 22, 2017 Was listening to a discussion on the radio about Robin Williams and it got me to thinking. If you were diagnosed with a terminal disease, one that would wreck your family both emotionally and financially and you did decide you wanted to end it..what do you see as the best way. I think the car tailpipe thing would be fairly painless. Maybe pop a sleeping pill or two beforehand...I don't want any pain.

And good point about the insurance. Suicide by cop? Maybe rob a bunch of banks. If I succeed.....i have a lot of cash to give family to pay for my death.

Strike 3,978 Posted June 22, 2017 Go to Oregon where it's legal for doctors to prescribe a drug that will take me out. I believe it's pretty much painless. Why that isn't legal everywhere is beyond me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,640 Posted June 22, 2017 I've thought about this a lot. I've volunteered in places where suicide has failed - and you're just a miserable powerless vegetable. The key is redundancy. 1. Waterproof bag. A) Reliable gun 2. At shoreline, take as many sleeping pills as you can. A) start off drunkish of course. 3. Swim as far out as you can until exhausted. Chill, enjoy view, pull trigger. Nobody ever thinks about the mess that they leave behind. My friend and I found her father in the kitchen after he blew his brains out but not before he had managed to rape and molest her for years prior. We were in jr. High. And she had threatened to tell her aunt if he didn't stop. This was his way of getting back at her. Miserable son of a b****. left a note. Just said you did this. She never saw the note. No one else did either. F*** him. But that's just a side note. Regardless, some son of a b**** is going to have to clean that mess up. If you're going to blow your brains out swim as far out into the ocean or a lake as you possibly can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheNewGirl 1,031 Posted June 22, 2017 Anything that will actually work and not leave me a vegetable or whatever. Probably wouldn't use a gun, unless I was out in the middle of nowhere. Likely a combo of pills and alcohol. Sadly, I've thought about this. Diagnosed with depression/anxiety nearly 20 years ago, it's crossed my mind more than once.

I'm such a poosay I would probably back of or flinch right as I pulled the trigger and end up a vegetable rather than dead. Which would be worse for everyone i am trying to save.

I would leave a note, so there was no doubt, or search. I had a roger rabbit idea of basically taking a boat out to sea as far as it will go. Open the... what's that focking called... the seacock? The thing that lets the water in and sinks the boat. Tie a kettle bell to your feet. Shoot yourself in the head. Voila! No mess, nobody haunted by finding your corpse.

But when people are diagnosed with depression and anxiety, it seems many many times it leads to thoughts and suicidal acts. Why isn't there a drive to do things that make you happy? So instead of "I am depressed, I want to die" It is "I am depressed, I need to do something that makes me happy." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,640 Posted June 22, 2017 What most people don't get is depression isn't generally boo hoo sadness. It's more like deep and resonant apathy. It's not oh my God I'm so sad I want to die.

So instead of "I am depressed, I want to die" It is "I am depressed, I need to do something that makes me happy."I'll take this one. Depression isn't so much "I want to die" as it is "I don't care. At all. About anything." I spent about a year where I literally went to work, came home, and Got in bed. Didn't ever leave the house. Interacting with people becomes exhausting. The effort requires to keep up the front of normalcy is excruciating. The focked up thing is, now, when it creeps back, as it always will, I know exactly how to fix it. I've done it many times. But in that place, you don't WANT to be happy. You wallow in that misery. You aren't WORTH being happy. It's very much akin to an addiction I think. It's an old friend. It's comfortable. It's safe. I know it's focked up, and you'll never understand unless you've done it, but that's the best I can explain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know it's focked up, and you'll never understand unless you've done it, but that's the best I can explain. For the most part, this. I can also usually head off depression or anxiety if I feel it, I've used cognitive behavioral therapy for years; in lieu of medication. And it works, but it takes a LONG time and a lot of effort that most people would rather just pop some pills for (and sometimes meds are needed, it's a true chemical thing). Anxiety isn't as much of a problem as it used to be for me, I was agoraphobic for nearly a year back in 2006/2007. And I can generally calm myself down or face situtations head on to convince myself that I am not going to die or whatever. It also isn't just a feeling of being sad all the time. It's hopelessness, unworthy of being happy, feeling unwanted (or un-needed, often my thoughts are, "I can be replaced. Hubby can get remarried, kids would have a new mom...they'd all be fine.) It's a feeling that is sad in itself to think about, but the feelings I actually FEEL aren't sadness. And, "Just get it over it" is kind of impossible. It's not something you just swtich off.
