Suicide
 
Question:

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?

since, I am no longer suicidal...I was planning with pills, until I did the research and found out I was more likely to just end up in hospital. Then I thought hanging. The problem is there is such a high failure rate, you really need to make sure its going to work first.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
