Why do I not want to kill myself with certain methods?

[yakhriv]

The idea of shooting myself is horrifying to me and death afterwards seems horrifying to me.
On the other hand, I feel at peace with the idea of partial and that sort of death does not seem horrifying to me.

Anyone else receptive to death only with certain methods?

i personally don't care as long as i end up dead. i'm receptive to shooting myself, just not with a shotgun bc i don't want my family to find that mess

Hmm, I think most people feel the same way.

For example, my method is SN, but I can't imagine hanging myself at all.
But on the other hand, for someone SN may be too unpleasant and they will prefer a different method.

This is a completely individual matter.
Of course, the possibility of choosing a method is limited and most often we have to choose the lesser evil.

That's very interesting, it's the exact opposite for me. Survival instinct kicked me right out of a partial, once the pain became unberable. Never doing that again... But a gunshot to the brain stem? That sounds heavenly! Assuming it's lights out as soon as you pull the trigger; no pain, no awkward moment of panic, just nothing. Too bad it's very difficulty to acquire the tools for that where I live.

What exactly attracts you to the idea of a partial?

I just don't want the method to miss. So anything that i could easily mess up, or has a highish chance of leaving me injured instead of the alternative, just doesn't seem attractive. I really don't want to screw it up and then have someone find me and end up in a hospital somewhere.

The mind is the source and temple of all evil. I really like the idea of blowing it up and smashing it to pulp.

It's understandable, personally I just wish for a painless guaranteed death, it's all that can bring me peace from all the suffering and cruelty this existence causes, I'm so tired of suffering.
