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!!!

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.

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

by Eltinwe has a life Swan - DYOH on Jun 21, 2007 at 7:28 pm Permalink

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.

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.
