I managed to buy some sodium nitrite on Amazon a few months ago. They stopped selling it like two years ago after a bunch of teenagers used it to die but it seems they were allowing vendors back on as long as they could only sell to business accounts, but there was a delay of a few days between it being listed and then restricted to business accounts and in the meantime I was able to snag some. I hope I’ll never be forced to use it but it’s nice to know that whatever happens I get to be the one in control now. ME.

Basically diluted herself to death.
Good. Let’s keep it that way.
Same way they get guns. Bought or stole them. Good on you for hanging out there. Suicide is generally very impulsive so any interruption to the process can put it off a little longer until hopefully the person finds the help that works for them.
