If you're going to commit suicide...

[wolf]

What might surprise you is that many suicides go out of their way to try to be tidy.

I had one guy who set up buckets for under his wrists to bleed into so he didn't fuck up his mom's carpet. I've also had a couple bathtub wrist slitters.

Sometimes shooters either wrap themselves in something to try to contain the blood to reduce cleanup, or go to an area that won't be as messy, like the basement or backyard. Cute Little Old Man who comes to outpatient and brings chocolate for all the girls (he's a Cute Little Old Flirt), burned down his trailer and went into an open field where he slit his throat and wrists. (the burning trailer attracted the attention of the police who found him in the field and got him helicoptered to a city hospital for treatment.)

You only hear about the ones who make a spectacular mess.
