tried to kill himself
2008-05-24, 12:54 PM #1
so this guy i work with tried to kill himself... at work. at least that's what they say. could be a load, but he did in fact cut both of his arms all the way around with a razor knife. lot of blood. they never even called the first responders. possible blood-born pathogen contamination not reported. someone might get fired. maybe the supervisor who's been covering for him for a long *** time. i do kind of feel bad for him. but nobody made him start snorting lortabs or any of the other crap he does. mostly a good guy though. except he drops his pants and underwear around his ankles at urinals.

just ignore it probs just a cry for help he'll do it properly next time

Sorry to hear that.

You should definitely report the supervisor or whoever was in charge that didn't call the EMTs or report the incident. That's messed up and I wouldn't want to work in an environment like that.

The ratio of attempted to actual suicides is ridicules. Its something like one in several hundred or thousand.

cops did show up after he was sent home, but that was because a temp called his boss about it and they called the cops

Because it's rather difficult to commit suicide than one might think. "Failing" suicide can leave you brain-dead or paralyzed. Today's over the counter sleeping pills won't due you in easily and you have to lose ALOT of blood from self-inflicted cuts to die.

Technically wouldn't being brain-dead constitute a "successful" suicide? It's not like you're waking up from it.

If you're really trying, that's not at all the way to do it.

Rigging up something involving Carbon Monoxide would clearly be the best way to do it, but really, if you truly wanted to commit suicide, you'd just go somewhere were people wouldn't find you. The thing is, most people really deep down don't want to die.

People don't want to die because they're miserable, they want to make it all better. They somehow associate that with suicide, but deep down they don't really want to actually die.

My preferred method of suicide is spontaneous combustion. I figure it'll happen of its own accord if I ever get desperate enough.

After extensive googling (I was very depressed) I figured the easiest and least painful way to suicide if you have a car is the classic hose from pipe to window scenario.
But I didn't have a car, so I had a spot picked out on the train tracks, where it was dark and I could get run over and probably have no-one notice till the next day.

The suicide could be interpreted as a cry for attention that they want/need because they can't handle this situation on their own.

I have no illusions about death, I wanted to die because I was miserable. I didn't think it would make it all better, but I knew it would make everything go away.

Yeah, but only on a conscious level. Unconsciously you still probably weren't able to rationalize the idea of making everything go away with the actual discontinuation of life.

My theory is that people who try to kill themselves due to extremely acute emotions, don't really want to actually die deep down, they are just desperate for options.

On the other hand, people who decide to kill themselves as a result of a more long term loss of motivation to live are probably going to be more difficult to stop. Our instinct to survive is so strong, that it's really hard to totally override on every single level if your reasons for killing yourself are more emotional than reasoned out. I'm guessing that a person is far more likely to actually die if he tries to kill himself when he's not emotional, rather than in a fit of desperation.

Sub. Subconsciously, unless you're implying that he only thought these things when he blacked out.

It's only the quickest if you have access to a shotgun

Doesn't this depend on the state? Pretty sure some states have waiting periods for any firearm.

If i were ever to kill myself, this is how i would do it.

The required equipment:

Bungee cord
superglue
Clown nose
Clown hair
Piano string
Tall building

First, i would tie the piano string to the middle of the bungee cord, attach the bungee cord on the roof of the tall building, the other end to my feet. The piano string would go around my neck. The bungee cord should be measured so, that it will leave me hanging about 2m (6ft) above the ground down there.

Second, i'd glue the clown nose and hair on, then glue my hands to my ears. Now, wait until the street in front of the building is crowded, and jump. The piano string would cut my head off, and the bungee cord would leave me hanging above the ground, my hands holding my head. An mp3 player with a speaker in my pocket playing "ha-ha-ha-ha-ha" on repeat might work as an additional effect.. :downswords:

I bet he's been waiting for ages for an appropriate thread to post that carefully crafted plan. If it'd been any longer, I'm sure he would actually have done it just to start a topic about it.

Can someone tell me that Nitrogen asphzx..... thingy way of dying? I think that'd be suitable for suicide. Quick and clean.

Nitrogen asphyxiation? Well, you're still breathing air like normal so you wouldn't feel like you were suffocating, just without the right amount of oxygen...so I imagine you'd just go to sleep due to lack of oxygen.

That's pretty much it. There's no co2 buildup so you don't get the pain you normally would from simply not breathing.
