Method Decided on insulin overdose to CTB, i need your thoughts.

[itssoover21]

Hi everyone, it's my first post so please let me know if it's breaking any rules but here goes nothing.

I've been suffering mentally for over 5 years now, with bouts of mania that have cost me the love of my life about 6 months ago, to add to that, I'm a chronic kidney disease patient with a tumor on my adrenal gland that has made me in constant physical agony since i was 12 basically.

The last couple of months have been entirely too much for me, juggling an extreme pressure from uni, research projects, work, and family has been runing me to the point where i feel like i have become a walking corpse on autopilot, and uni has been so much actually that even though I've been a published researcher since highschool, I'm failing an advanced math course.

So I've decided i just can't and won't accept to continue this way, I've tried everything health wise to no avail, tried therapists and antidepressants (a very hard thing to do in my country btw) and still nothing, and i will CTB in the next month or so.

I lurked the forum here for a few months before making an account and posting and found that there's alot of things i can do but most of them are pretty much out of reach because of location-specific constraints and some are financially unfeasible, but i did read about insulin overdoses causing very sharp hypoglycemic comas in large doses over 300iu and eventually leading to death in 3-ish hours, so i wanted to ask if anyone knows much about this method or has experience with an attempt doing it for example or anything of the sort. Any other methods are practically locked for me so I'm using this one.
P.S.
I attempted twice this month with both 40g of acetamanophen and 10g naproxen about 20 days ago and about 15g of atenolol around a week ago, both did nothing apparently, not even a good sleep after them.

Why ODs Fail Miserably (A Guide)

There's still a lot of questions and inquiries about ODs, and people asking about what things may facilitate a successful attempt. Let's be clear, ODs are rarely fatal. Why? For a couple of reasons: (1) modern medications are designed to be very safe, as manufacturers aim to avoid deaths that...

Yeah i read these afterwards, but it's the only real means that are accessible to me so idk what else to do honestly.
Hanging and jumping from a height are off the table because i don't want my family to live with that pain and shame yk, it would absolutely ruin them and i don't want that at at all.

I don't know, maybe you know better than me, but insuline (if someone comes to rescue you) would cause irreversible brain damage. It isn't either a peaceful way to die: you will be in a coma only AFTER one hour of pretty bad suffering. To support my thesis, I will put a pdf that tells the story of an attempt of suicide with insulin (it's in italian but you can easily translate). https://www.jamd.it/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/2012_2_8.pdf It's pretty interesting to look at the end of the second page: even with 4800 U of insulin, the patient will be saved if found in 24 hours.

Post for a bit more and you will have the search unlocked. There are many, many threads of people asking about insulin as a method. It usually is not reliable because everyone reacts differently and your body is a lot stronger than you think it is.

That being said, here are two threads that might be helpful for you until you get the search:

CBT through insulin - sharing some experience from family member perspective

I've read here and there that people thinking this could work. I thought I share my experience of someone that tried that. The reason I know so much about it (apart from trying myself) is because my mother used it to CBT after losing my dad of 40+ years to cancer Anyway. Insulin. There are...

Typ-1 diabetic here. Forget the insulin idea please, it will not work. You will suffer horribly but most likely survive with severe damage.

I'll 1st say this. I'm so sorry life has brought you to this page. I've had a few failed attempts and I know how it feels when you ate ready to go, so I'll make this quick. I made this exact post months ago and was quickly advised against this plan because our body is incredible and will fight even when we don't want it to. Someone added an article of a doctor who tried this method and failed and had to endure months of PT/OT.
Basically the idea is to cause hypoglycemia and slip into a coma and ultimately die, right? Well, hypoglycemia is a miserable and very uncomfortable state to be in. Your body will quickly get to work and you will wake up and enter survival mode! I strongly suggest you research studies of people who have tried this, it's awful. I aborted my mission of this method after doing my research. And if by chance you still move forward with this, don't ever mention you did this on purpose! Having a suicide attempt on your medical records and career can change everything! I wish you the best my friend

Diabetic type 1 here. I've tried it 6 or more times and it never worked. I always wake up in very tense survival mode and I immediately crawled to the sugar.

Don't try it. I took almost an entire vial and it did not work and kept me in the hospital for a week.

Oh my god I'm sorry you went through that, would you be comfortable saying what happened? I'd like to know what would happen if i fail my attempt.

IV's with lots of dextrose. Six days in critical care. Blood prick test every 15 mins for the first few days/night. No sleep because of the constant injections (electrolytes, anti-bloodclot meds ect)

They torture people with sleep deprevation and they just wake them up with music. I was tortured with metal sharp objects. Now I struggle to sleep.
