Best method to off oneself

I am old enough to have seen loved ones die and death is not the worst that can happen. Not by a long chalk.

The door is always open as Epictetus said, but which one?

 

Look at those unfortunate tourists in Laos.
Some people gave them methanol (most likely unintentionally)
and now the tourists are off.

So spend your time usefully by fighting against those who let people drink
methanol.
It is a dangerous job. You might get offed by the angry bootleggers.

 

I used to read a long gone forum that covered this topic and amazingly there was no method that was 100%. The closest single method was falling from a 20+ story building at 97% so there is still a 3% chance you will survive. I think next was the shotgun to the head which was like 92% I believe. The consensus was a hybrid approach worked best.

Before the authorities put a net under the Golden Gate Bridge, there were people who survived a fall from the bridge. So I guess nothing is foolproof. The main character in the famous Edith Wharton novel Ethan Frome tries to do it by sliding down a narrow snowy hill and he survives but is badly hurt.

 

If exploring such thoughts, a good starting point might be the movie Wristcutters: A Love Story. It's been known to offer a fresh perspective, particularly for those feeling physically healthy but emotionally worn out.

For those dealing with chronic physical pain or infirmity, reaching out to a local hospice charity for a chat could be invaluable. Hospice staff are exceptionally knowledgeable about alleviating discomfort and pain, often offering creative and compassionate solutions.

Ultimately, death is a universal experience. Some are fortunate to belong to cultures, national or familial, that help prepare for it with grace. However, it's never too late to adopt new perspectives and find meaning in life, even in its most challenging moments.

 

"How to off yourself" is a "health and fitness" topic?

Which will probably show up on searches by people contemplating such things, depending on how many posts it gets.

That's what we want here?

 

The Peaceful Pill Handbook is a book written for terminally ill people wishing to depart.
