how long does it take to die after wrist slitting

[rosemarythyme]

This seems like the only available option for me, and i'm curious what to expect. like how long till death, till loss of consciousness, and how/where

Are you serious?
You will not simply die after slitting your wrist. In fact you need an incredibly precise plan just to have a small chance of actually succeeding. Your body will not let you bleed out through an open slit on the wrist. Blood coagulates. You panic. You regret. It's all part of SI. Not to get into how unbearable the pain is, how hard it is to get the placements right and the torture you need to go through as you sit in a puddle of blood.
A more reliable placement would be slitting your carotid artery, and even if it's easier to pass out and the bleeding is more intense, death caused by this is unrealistic to achieve by yourself without blood thinners, opioids, alcohol and a few more factors.
I suggest you reconsider.

Depends how old you are. Average human lifespan is 77.5 years so you do the math

Slicing your wrist isn't as painful as you think

So a lot of people actually believe cutting your wrist is painful, however, what they use is either a razor blade or blunt knives that aren't designed to dissect through the skin, what you need to be using is a surgical scalpel cutting through the brachial artery which is the main artery in your...

Don't go for the wrist. If you want to do cutting as a method, I think you have your best bets here ^

please reconsider, this method isn't reliable and the chances of failures/injuring your hands permanently is very high

A Caution About Drug Poisonings (ODs) and Cutting

Preamble I see a lot of posts on this forum mentioning drug poisoning and/or cutting/stabbing as a method of choice. I want to caution these methods for a few reasons. I respect the right to choose any method but I'm concerned that those using these methods may not be fully informed on the...

it's hard, you have to cut deep. mostly no one can pull it off because of that, it's more a self harm or cry for help.

Unless you're in a state of psychosis you won't be able to do this. Your body will not let you get that deep before stopping you. You'd also have to have great understanding on human anatomy, and an incredibly sharp, I'm talking surgical, blade. Don't even bother you'll just fuck your hand up.

You won't. Like a 98% chance it clots off and you live. The damage you do to your hand will last the rest of your life, however.

I tried to commit suicide by slitting my wrists years ago. I thought I would just peacefully fade away but all that happened was that I sat in my bathtub for about an hour in bloody water until my arms started burning uncontrollably. As the arm pain got worse and traveled upwards I freaked out and called 911, spent a day in a hospital under suicide watch, another day at a mental health clinic, then they sent me home with a printout for mental services and a prescription for antidepressants.
