Freezing as a CBT method

[Schnipsel]

Its below freezing where I live right now. I've been thinking about taking sleeping medication and then just laying down somewhere outside and trying to fall asleep.

Would there be a realistic chance of that working? It's about -7 C at night here.

Freezing to death is extremely painful and unpleasant, I'm not sure even sleeping meds would be enough to knock you out for that

It's the pain you'd have to fight through. But if fell asleep like that, lightly dressed, you're not surviving. SI is going to be strong

I've heard cold slows down metabolism, which means someone can survive hours of complete cardiac arrest in cold conditions, because extra corporeal rewarming technique gives a 30-50% survival rate when used in the hospital. So for it to work (if you want it to be guaranteed), then make sure your body temperature is lower than severe hypothermia, meaning ice crystals forming, the ice crystals make it completely impossible for extra corporeal rewarming technique to save you, because extra corporeal rewarming technique can save you if ice crystals didn't form, a body temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit (I think it's 10 degrees Celsius) is considered severe hypothermia, but still not low enough to cause ice crystals to form. For ice crystals to form, the body temperature should be anywhere under 28 degrees Fahrenheit, in Celsius I think that would be -2 degrees Celsius of body temperature.

I don't think it's a good idea to even entertain a method like this. It's so painful and unsafe there's no way it could possibly be made any easier. So many better methods that are just as easy to get a hold of. No point even giving it any thought
Not criticizing you though, these are good points

Yeah I do remember going into air with a temperature of 15 degrees fahrenheit, because that's what the weather said on my phone, and my hands were starting to hurt like my hand is burning, but it's caused by low temperature rather than heat. Though I remember somewhere that cold numbs you "eventually" but that probably would take to long to happen, so your right.

This does very much work but there is of course alot of much better methods ive done this almost by accident when high and drunk, certainly i found the experience horrifying but a part of me wish i wasn't found. On notes of the method you kinda feel the cold for a bit while your drunk and high but even that can't really block out the cold after a bit. Its also especially painful when you're limbs stop working its like a real bad cramp kinda like when you sleep on your arm all night then can't move it and it can be horrifying to lose sensation over ones limbs. as well it takes a while to actually happen, a plus though is after a bit your body will convince itself its actually warm so you'll have a much better time after a bit to take off all your clothes to speed up the process certainly though being that cold for me atlest caused me to start talking to myself outloud without much control kinda like all the thoughts in my head came to my lips getting blurted out without any control almost like instinct. I feel like there is alot of much more peaceful ways to die that are quicker and less horrifying but it very much works.

Tried other stuff before, but either survived (vomited it out, dose probably too low, etc) or SI was too strong and didn't go through. I kinda knew it was probably a bad idea, but I'm getting kinda desperate.

Still thanks for all the replies. And thanks everyone for not ridiculing me

f you're really getting desperate, and I'm assuming you've exhausted all the recovery options and reached out for help, then methods like jumping from a height or lying on tracks are at least much less painful. Freezing really is one of the worst possible methods.
I hugely advise that you don't give in to desperation. As a general rule, don't commit to anything unless you've thought about it for at least a few months. This includes suicide as a whole. And I mean really think about it and exhaust all the options. Try other life paths and if it doesn't work out, ending things painlessly and cautiously is a fair enough final solution

I was thinking about it too.

I know that zopliclone + alcohol can induce a coma-like sleep. I was thinking about passing out outside, the temperature fluctuates between -20 and -30 celcius

But death is not 100% certain. Things could go wrong I guess. It would be worse to survive and needing amputations

It seems too risky, I'll just go with hanging on a tree outside but honestly the temperature is currently my greatest deterrent.

I wish zopliclone+alcohol and freezing temperatures was a proven method
