Help (Drowning) Is this true that once water starts entering lungs, suffering will be greatly reduced?

[curiousbeing]

Update: I edited my post a bit for more clarity


I heard that during drowning, suffering exists until people allow water enter inside their lungs. And then, either immediately or after very short time, they start feeling peaceful (no air hunger anymore) and even euphoric.

Even if people don't feel peaceful as water fills up their lungs, I think that if water is deliberately inhaled as much as possible, very quickly lungs will be filled with water and unconsciousness will follow?

So, goal is to immediately start inhaling water as much as, as strongly as possible, without taking any sedative or alcohol? The quicker lungs are filled, the quicker unconsciousness will be experienced, whether I will feel air hunger or not during inhaling?

By saying peaceful, i mean that suffocation or air hunger either won't be experienced or will be experienced very briefly, say, for 30 seconds, until lungs are full, and then loss of consciousness.

I understand that I may experience some panic, headache, nausea.


I assume that the moment lungs are filled up enough or damaged enough, without any delay unconsciousness will be experienced


To reduce air hunger during drowning, I can also hyperventilate before starting to inhale water. After hyperventilating, I can hold my breath at least for 1 minute. 1 minute will be enough to lose consciousness, due to forceful, strong, rapid water inhalation (let's ignore laryngospasm, resurfacing, people nearby). Average lungs capacity is 4l, so i think they will be filled up quickly

How do you think? please feel free to share your opinions

Thank you so much for taking your time to read my post!!!


Even if unconsciousness doesn't appear, at least I will be so drowsy or sedated by damaged lungs that I won't care so much anymore
If this is true, only one minute of suffering / no suffering and I will be gone.

Unfortunately, it isn't yet very clear. Your airways may block to avoid more water from getting in.

I have investigated a lot about hyperventilation and co2 tolerance, the sad truth: it's mostly a matter of genetics. The average person has an extreme hypercapnic response (too much co2 from breath-holding which causes pain). I have tried hyperventilating 20 minutes straight then holding my breath and still couldn't reach unconsciousness.

The deodorant method might work (huffing some deodorant spray through a towel, which causes hypoxia). But don't try this unless you are sure you wanna do this. I have tried this myself and couldn't make it. I was literally on the coast ready to throw myself into the sea, and SI hit my ass. Fear of drowning is a primal instinct.

That's why I'm looking for other methods.

 

[wine is fine but]

i have seen a video where someone deliberately lay in water for a couple of minutes and breathed in the water
his eyes glazed over instantly, so drowning may very well be peaceful, but getting to that point would almost certainly be horrifying
i assume, it would be all but impossible to deliberately breathe in enough water to knock them unconscious. they would cough and hack as their body tried to eject the water. the only time it would be possible is when the person is so tired from struggling or holding their breath, they cannot stop themselves from breathing in

My first attempt failed. I felt scared and there were other people who saw me. I couldn't throw myself into the sea. I couldn't inhale deodorant

It's just scary, but i feel desperate.

I wish so much this will happen to me. i am very desperate, what if my SI won't be intense?

I will try something similar. I don't want to attach weights or do anything. But I know that i should inhale as much water as possible.

Or, i may put my head inside a plastic bag and inhale deodorants, until I lose consciousness or become too dizzy, so i can just drown myself. Deodorants can cause severe side effects, and they may not make me dizzy, life is so unpredictable. I will need to try butane as well, hopefully it won't explode or i won't catch fire lol

i don't think you really do
the video i saw was a controlled stunt. he could hold his breath for a long time, and also had a cinderblock on his chest, so he could not get up unassisted
in the situation he was in, it was much easier to just take a deep breathe, when he was desperate for air, and also knew that his assistants would save him in time which meant he didn't necessarily have to care about survival instincts

the dying part of drowning is probably very peaceful, but the part before hand is not. walltermite's advice is very good and should probably be taken
