    I am a female and a pastor's wife in a very lively contemporary church. If I want to kill myself, I shall return to the church of my youth and sit through a service...I should be well and truly dead by the end of it. LOL

    Probably sleeping pills. Just go to sleep. Female. And I have heard the same thing. Men are more apt to use guns, hang them selves or find a way to commit "suicide by cop" or some other person. My brother strangled himself. Can't even imagine doing that!!!

    The only time I ever considered it, it would've been a .45 through the brain. And yes, I'm female. And no, I realized at that time I could never kill myself, and went and asked for help.

    Why bother "trying" to kill yourself. Just DO it. Seriously, it's not really that hard if you want to. They just don't really quite want to succeed.

    If I was going to kill myself, I would want to drive my car in front of a train. This would mean a lot of people would not know if it was an accident or a suicide. I like to keep people guessing.

    Statistically speaking, the claim of men chosing more violent means of suicide is true. It cannot be applied to any specific case, though. My mother was - obviously - female and shot herself in the head with a .22 Magnum.

    Personally, I wouldn't commit suicide and have never considered a method for it.

    Im male, and I believe suicide to be the most chicken sh!t way out...dying is easy, living is a mother focker. But if I ever reach my old age to the point I can't take care of myself and become a burden to others, I would want it to be quick and as painless as possible. I would probably overdose on some good drugs to the point I wouldn't care that I was dying.

    Dramatics, like Cobain and Hemingway, are for those who wish to draw attention to their demise.

    This is a loaded question, as the respondents don't intend suicide, so are not in the frame of mind they would be in a suicide situation. In a lucid moment I would, of course, choose the most peaceful method available, but if I was suicidal I probably would feel all the negative emotions, such as anger, despair, fear, etc. In this frame of mind the natural inclination to lash out would be turned inwards and result in violence to myself. In fact I'd probably end up getting hold of a gun and blowing my brains out. It is also probable that I'd write an extremely vitriolic letter before doing this.

    Male. Interesting question. I've put some thought into this during the past 3 months. I've been severely depressed due to multiple health problems (hormone imbalance to pain). I failed using an overdose of pain meds and sleeping pills. I'm still angry that it failed. I thought about using a car a very high speed and hitting a cement wall, however, I would like to leave my body in one piece. I'm not angry at anyone and wouldn't want to have my family see my body all over a totaled car. I will use a better drug the next time. Surviving an overdose is not what I want to experience again.

    Well i would do a combination of an Aspirin overdose and slit wrist, just because the aspirin would cause you to bleed faster because it prevents the blood from coagulating, add to that a bucket of watter you have my method. I'm a female.

    I'm male. I would probably look at the Darvon Cocktail as the best method to commit suicide. Nice drink, slight buzz, go to sleep and never wake up.

    Overdose then throw myself off building, Just to make sure i die. My worse nightmare is thinking that you have finaly acheved death and then waking up, in a hospital bed having to carry on living. If i commited suicide it would be final.
    They say wiht women it is more a 'plea for help' than males. Males if they are suicidal go out there to really die.
    Im Female.

    I think... anything sudden, as quick and painless as possible. I wouldn't want to draw it out, be made to wait as drugs or poison filtered through my system. Maybe something like jumping off a building. I'm female.

    if i wanted to commit suicide i would at least give others a chance of running my life before i decided its over. maybe try to get some help from a phsycologist or maybe even join the military. if im gonna die ill do it for a good cause, not because i got cheated on or im upto my eyeballs in debt.

    I'd choose darvon cocktail. But then i wonder if going to sleep and not waking up is as easy at it sounds. Would i feel pain and just not be able to open my eyes or move? So second thought is a gun to the head. Female.

    I really don't think the question is loaded by the way. Who are you to tell that I'm not considering suicide. If I were not, how would I have randomly found this site that I wouldn't have otherwise looked at? So, to answer the question... I'm a 25 year old female. I would likely use a method that is instantaneous and painless. I'd choose the Darvon Cocktail.

    Skydiving.

    I would give zero clues that i'm going to kill myself, because it would not be a revengeful suicide. It would not be the kind of suicide where I want everyone to feel pity for me, and to think "why weren't we good enough for her!".

    So skydiving would be ideal as an "accident". Think about it, you train a few times with an instructor, you pretend you are excited about doing your first jump on your own, and then boom! the thing doesn't open (or you don't open it). Ultimately reaching the ground and instantly dying.

    Very sensitive towards other people, and quick. I'm sure that there are not a lot of people that have that much fun before dying.

    I wouldn't commit suicide, but if I'd have to kill myself without putting on a show (which I WOULD do if I were fed up with my life to the point where suicide was my goal in life, but let's not get into THAT idea so I'll be serious) I'd use a double barrel shotgun and put it slightly above my eyes and I'd pull the trigger while standing up!!! Happy cleaning ha ha!!! And yes, I'm a male.

    If I was really going to do it, I'd go up and sucker punch a bear right in the nose. Fighting a bear what a way to go out right? And if I didn't succeed in killing myself I would have atleast succeeded in going head to head with a bear, those are bragging rights worth living for.

    I've thought about burning myself to death. I would douse myself with gasoline and just let her rip. The pain would be extravagant, but there would be nothing that I could do to stop it, for I would be helpless. It would be my destiny.

    Other deaths included blowing my brains out, sawing my head off with a chain saw, chopping myself to death with a cleaver, stabbing myself to death with a kitchen knife, slitting my throat with a razor, jumping into oncoming freeway traffic. Perhaps even more than one at a time, if I could pull it off.

    I'm male btw.

  • Okay, I'll play. I would make sure I had enough heroin to kill a horse. I would drive to Sedonna about 100 miles north of here and shoot up, or whatever, and when it kicked in, I would jump off the highest ravine so that I made sure I didn't have a slow death.

    I think your book is correct. Women as a group tend to be less violent.

    I am female and i would take an overdose. Then slit my wrists . Slice open my chest and try to rip out my heart I have no doubt i wouldnt manage this but that is what all the slash marks on my chest would be about then i would run a hot bath take some more meds drink some more booze and hopefully slide into oblivion into the water and i'd keep a knife with me just in case if this doesn't work i would plunge it into my heart its nice to me to think suicide is easy and you can just take some tablets and slip into oblivion but i know from experience it isnt. I think no matter what your sex suicide is a brutal and horrible thing its not like it is in the movies or your favourite song i think women can be just as violent as men if not more so and i guess it also depends on the individual, how desperate they are the way they are feeling i think lots of things depend on the way you would choose to end your life I'm not thinking of doing this but thankyou for an intresting question

    Well right now im trying to kill myself slowly with cigareets but if I had to do it I would proberly get a hotel room find a lady and get laid one last time. Buy a fat sack of weed and a bottle of jack daniels. Roll a blunt and run myself a bath while drinking and smoking. Turn on the gas on the cooker, get in the bath slit my wrist while finshing the bottle and the blunt and go out in a blur. 3 days later you see an explosion come out the side of the hotel and loads of fireworks go off, why you ask? Because before I turned on the cooker I put a few boxes of fireworks near the window, told the hotel manerger not to disturb me but send 10 bottles of champayne up to my room in 3 days. The waiter opens the door to the hotel room (AkA my coffin) which pulls a contrapution that sparks 5 flare guns off egniting the gas filled room. People see a great firework display come out the side of the hotel, im dead and I did it in a cool way. Everyone wins.

Did this answer your question? If not, then ask a new question or create a poll.

You're reading I am in an emergency response class, and we were going over suicide recently. My book claims that men would kill themselves in a more violent way than women would. So, my question is, how would you kill yourself? and are you male of female?
