How would you commit suicide?

swimmerguy's picture

I don't know why this one in particular is affecting me more than usual: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/17/jamie-hubley-commits-suicide_n_...

But it is. It's like ruined my whole day :P and I'm just wondering WHY THE FUCK ARE ALL THESE HOT GAY GUYS OFF IN OTHER PLACES TOTALLY OPEN AND THEN DESPAIR FOR LACK OF FUCKING COMPANIONSHIP AND KILL THEMSELVES. I'M RIGHT FUCKING HERE SERIOUSLY.
I mean, Billy Lucas, Seth Walsh, Harrison Chase Brown and now another guy I can't stop thinking his last name is only 1 letter off from our Matthew's.
It's like HOW MANY CAN BE LEFT WITH ALL THESE HOT GAY GUYS KILLING THEMSELVES, I WANT FOR COMPANIONSHIP TOO.

Anyway, selfish rant over, I was wondering, and this is maybe a little morbid and more than probably inspired by Jamie Hubley, but if you were going to commit suicide, how would you do it?
Now, just to prevent overreactions, don't fucking worry, I ain't committing suicide anytime soon. Just wondering.
I would think, assuming I could drive, (this is assuming suicide in the near future) I would probably leave a note, explaining everything, it'd probably be quite long, and I'd probably play my favorite piano piece, The Reflection Rag one more time before leaving the house.
Then I'd drive off, probably to Mount Pugh, which you've probably never heard of, but it's a beautiful mountain here in the Cascades, it stands by itself at the end of a valley, and it's very remote, hardly anyone ever goes there, my brother climbed it with his friend and he said there were only 2 people on the trail register for the past 2 weeks, (I'm so jealous! If I have a boyfriend by some late summer or another we are so going to fucking Mount Pugh to climb it, cause there's never anyone else around. Or, I might do it myself) I'd climb the mountain then.
I'd let my parents know in the note where to find the car, at the trailhead perhaps, but then I'd leave the trail after I'd climbed the mountain, (by the way, it might not be Mount Pugh, there are several other fucking beautiful mountains I've seen, Monte Cristo Peak, Del Campo Peak, all things I plan to climb one day) in fact, after thinking about it, I think Monte Cristo Peak might be cooler, but whatever, they're both fucking beautiful.
Then, I know it's selfish, but when I die, whenever that may be, tomorrow, 6 months, 80 years, I don't want my body to be found, my fingernails trimmed and cleaned, scrubbed up perfect and looking like an angel, and then put in an antiseptic box and buried in some artificially landscaped cemetery, to rot away in this box. I mean, I know that burials are not for the dead, they're for the living, but I just can't console myself with the idea of doing that pussy shit to my body, even after I'm gone. Even though I think of death as the end, no heaven, no hell, just gone, so even though I'll be gone, I don't like the thought while I'm still alive of getting put in a cemetery.
So, I'd like to then, depending where I do, maybe I'll climb several mountains, hell, I have the rest of my life to do it, but after I'm done with that, given myself some absolute last minute chances to think about it, to look at the incredible beauty of the world around me, if I still want to, I'll find some secluded spot, and kill myself.
I don't know exactly how I'd do it, I don't like the thought of a gun, maybe I'd slit my wrists or throat or something, but I trust I'll figure it out if I ever want to, and kill myself there. I don't really care if I'm buried or not, if I'm just buried in the Earth, with no coffin or anything, but since I'd almost certainly do this alone I definitely won't be buried.
That's fine with me, maybe some animal can find me and make use of my body. God knows I'll have no more use for it.

So, if I was going to kill myself sometime soon, that's how I'd do it.

Now, I like to think that I'll live a long time, but I also like to think that's how I'll die, on my own terms. The people who are against euthanasia are in my mind FUCKING EVIL PRICKS.
I think, hope, that someday, if I ever get diagnosed with some incurable cancer or if I just feel that my time is just running out, if I ever sense age about to take away my able mobility, I hope that I'll go on a trip.
A long trip, perhaps a few weeks, carrying as much food as I can, probably by myself, perhaps with a husband or so if I have one, just traveling through and seeing the mountains, they're so beautiful, and then at the end I'll kill myself.
The people who are against euthanasia, there are many people I hate, creationists who want it taught in schools, people against gay rights, most Republicans who've ever lived, but I think the group I think is the most vile are people against euthanasia.
The idea of "Sanctity of Life" meaning that it's a fucking moral imperative for us to keep around these miserable, people as long as possible till the bitter end, costing more and more money and work from society the longer it goes on, just so that they don't die a few months or even years earlier is just so fucking evil I can't hardly believe it.
The idea that people have to go to a bitter end rather than ending their life on their own terms while still having basic mobility, ugh.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_An_Athlete_Dying_Young
I think that's a beautiful poem, describing what I think, despite the tragedy of the last few things you might miss, I think it's so much better to die in your prime than on the other side of it.
So, yeah, I hope I do that some day.

If you guys can believe it, all this talk of me killing myself has actually cheered me up a little from how sad I was before. But just a little.
I hope I feel better tomorrow...
How would you commit suicide?

in front of my science...

single pistol shot,maybe. i would tell my friends to skip science that day.
but i always imagine it with a pistol. maybe because once you make the decision to pull the trigger, there is no going back.

"A loving man and woman in a committed relationship can marry. Dogs, no matter what their relationship, are not allowed to marry. How should society treat gays and lesbians in committed relationships? As dogs or as humans?"

Hmmm...

I may end up needing to commit suicide some day, since I do not want to live past the age of... eighty-two, I think. Of my three grandparents who lived past sixty (one grandfather died of a bacterial infection when he was in his fifties, so he doesn't count), all three had diabetes and two had pretty bad dementia, so I'm pretty much screwed if I get old. I want to die in my seventies so I don't end up like them. Maybe give it an extra year or two just in case there's a fatal stroke waiting for me at eighty, but if not, suicide. Probably by poison. Probably at home. And I'd let my family know that this was my plan - let them know long before the time was even starting to get near.

Err...

If Type-2 diabetes, that is diet-based, so easy to avoid.

Yeah...

I'm sure that if I sacrificed all the food I like I could overcome my genetic predisposition toward diabetes, but I'd rather enjoy my life, and food is a significant part of that. Besides - it's the dementia that scares me more than the diabetes. I want to die while I still have most of my mind - not as a frustrated shell of a person like my Oma or even a happily daft shell like my other grandmother.

jeff's picture

Uhh...

You don't have a genetic predisposition. That's Type-1. If it is happening later in life, it is all diet. You have a lifestyle predisposition.

That said, the diabetes will ensure you don't live as long with dementia, so I guess it all works out. ;-)

this comment is terrible but

I object to the aspersions

I object to the aspersions cast apon my lifestyle! My grandparents didn't live or eat particularly less healthily than people who didn't get diabetes, I think, and nor do I. According to the National Institute of Health (see, I even used a .gov source instead of Wikipedia!) 'Family history and genes play a large role in type 2 diabetes. Low activity level, poor diet, and excess body weight around the waist increase your risk.' I've got the family history, so probably also the genes. Moderately low activity level, yes, but I did make it to the summit of Kilimanjaro this summer, so I don't think I'm terribly out of shape. My diet is not exceptionally good, but I certainly wouldn't categorise it as 'poor' - not when my roommates are having Poptarts for breakfast while I eat lightly-frosted whole-wheat cereal. And I'm not fat, and neither is any of my immediate ancestors. So I stick to what I said before - I'm sure I could overcome that family history and genes, but I don't want to if it means switching to unfrosted whole-wheat cereal. I deserve that frosting.

jeff's picture

hehehe...

When do I not cast aspersions on here?! ;-)

From diabetes.org: "Type 2 diabetes runs in families. In part, this tendency is due to children learning bad habits eating a poor diet, not exercising--from their parents. But there is also a genetic basis." And then the genetic part is that they basically don't know, since identical twins don't even both get it, etc. And then the treatment is diet and exercise, so...

If frosted cereal is worth diabetes, then you're all good to go... of everyone on this thread, this is the s-l-o-w-e-s-t suicide possible, though.

As of now,

I just wouldn't. We all die sometime anyways, so why rush?

I think I'd just like to run away. See how long I can live on my own with no home. Thing is, with things like starving and barely surviving, it often gives you a new outlook on life. I think that would be good. It would help me reevaluate.

That's redick!

When I think...

...of the excruciating emotions that Jamie Hubley's parents are experiencing, I cannot begin to contemplate how I might inflict so much sorrow...

All he wanted was one friend with whom he could share his longings...

Look at him!

I don't want to lose any of you... Please!

jeff's picture

Eh...

I'm too narcissistic to imagine a world without me.

Jamie Rodemeyer? I never post suicide stuff on here, but as you know, i follow it on Facebook...

It's just a coincidence...

There have been 2 Jamie's recently: Jamie Rodemeyer earlier, and just last Friday, Jamie Hubley, a Canadian.

I acknowledge that posting references to gay teen suicides has its problems (particularly, here on Oasis)... but... I feel that this latest tragedy (now widely covered) must not be ignored!

Beyond the tragedy of this specific suicide --- or, any suicide --- I am particularly disturbed (better: angered!) by some of the virulently homophobic comments (thankfully not the majority) that can be found in the comments sections! Moderators do remove some, but...

These homophobes are totally devoid of any semblance of humanity; empathy is nowhere evident: Am I in error by assuming that their religious and right-wing affiliations do not allow...?

I'm so very sad...

jeff's picture

Well...

I never discourage people from posting about suicides on here. I just don't initiate them.

Hmmm

Not sure, but i'm considering falling out of a plane and landing ontop of Dick Cheney. I know nothing about him that the news doesn't point out on a regular basis, but if i can go out and take a man that just seemingly won't die with me. I'd be laughing all the way to hell.

I don't know...

I think, when my uncle committed suicide (about a year ago, I don't know), it was with a car crash. I'm not sure, I think that was it. I didn't really ask about the details. Anyway, I would never kill myself, and have you noticed that none of these gay teens killing themselves were on this web site? I'm glad I couldn't stop thinking about my problem and, after hours of looking through the "desert" for answers, found Oasis. Anway, 14 (Jamey Rodemeyer) is kind of young to come out. But, I don't know. I might do it next year, but not while my sister is attending the same school.

Simple.

I would never commit suicide. I'm a loser, but I'm not cowardly or whimpy enough to ever end my own life. The only time I would ever consider it is if I was in a horrific accident and hooked up to a bunch of life support machines and my mom wouldn't let the doctors pull the plug. Then I'd just shut the machines off and die peacefully.

I'd love to die from a drug

I'd love to die from a drug overdose. Drifting out from the world after smoking a big, fat joint, listening to Cat Stevens, and a shitload of sleeping pills.

jeff's picture

OK...

At first, I was like, how dumb, he plans to kill himself with a extra large joint... but then you tossed in the sleeping pills. ;-)

Think about it:

"I'd love to die from..."

You wouldn't be around to love anything... ever again... it's permanent!

Stay... if only for us!
