Also don't do it, but especially don't use that method, you'll likely just **** up your nerves and ****.

I agree don't do it, I think people need to feel like they are able to say 'I'm seriously considering it, and I'm at this point in terms of going through with it' without being judged or as if they're going to be locked up. Frown and Hawk have both been making good posts I agree with btw. And **** anyone who says it's selfish seriously.
But especially consider the risk of a failed attempt, especially with that method. You could make your problems much worse if you're sectioned and your family find out, as well as permanent damage from most other methods. Then you will dream of the day you only sat with a knife to your wrist and wondered whether you should do it.
If you feel close again go to A&E (ER for you guys?) or phone a helpline immediately and focus on the next five minutes, and then the next five minutes, and get through those.

It's a forum so probably most people do.

Why are you so quick to recommend drugs? They should be a real last resort imo, when trying to make self improvements everywhere else hasn't worked.
Talk to your doctor of course though.
