Is it possible to just lay down and die?

Am weighing my options.

It may be possible…but a hell of a lot of very suicidal people have tried this, and it didn’t kill them.

(Suicide technique no 81-Q: sit down and never move a muscle again. Yeah, sure…)

This approach can be highly effective, but its success depends almost entirely on the time and place where you choose to lay down.

It’s much easier to die then lay down.

If you’re severely hypothermic, yes.

If you do it long enough and do nothing else, you’ll die of dehydration eventually.

If laying down precludes eating and drinking, the answer is yes.

If one of your options is wanting to lay down and die, you need more than what we can provide on an internet message board. If you want to discuss whatever issues you are having in IMHO, please, feel free to start a new thread there. Just keep in mind that we’re just a bunch of random people on the internet. A better option would probably be to find some help in the real world, perhaps from a professional if that is an option for you.

I think we’ve provided as much factual information about your question as we can, and anything else to add would definitely be beyond the scope of GQ.

Best of luck to you.
