Guns and suicide

[arewethereyet]

I know a guy who fellated a pistol but held it wrong and ended up with his upper lip and nose messed up. He eventually took his old van to a secluded location and ran a vacuum cleaner hose from the tailpipe into the van and gassed himself. I wouldn't use a gun solely for consideration of the people who have to scrape my carcass up and deal with it.

My boss has a friend who did the just about the same thing as far as the shooting is concerned.  But he will never be mentally or physically capable of trying another method.

I don’t think I’ve posted this on the open forum so here goes...


...about three months ago I tried to kill myself.

Since I didn’t have access to firearms (though I did and still do have access to many sharp objects), I took an overdose of sleeping pills.

Long story short, I obviously survived thanks (?) to the intervention of a friend.

If I had access to a firearm I would have bee far more likely to succeed, or caused myself serious damage if I hadn’t.

I am glad you are still here.
