That's unfortunate to hear. Helium suffocation was my going to be my exit plan. If you hang yourself or suffocate your body has a hypercapnic alarm response where your brain starts to panic due to lack of oxygen and fights to survive. This is where you hear of someone who has put a bag over their head to suffocate themselves will involuntarily tear the bag off when the hypercapnic alarm response kicks in. Either way your last moments are filled with panic and fear and terror.
Helium suffocation alleviates this problem. If you place a bag over your head and insert a tube feeding in helium it will displace the oxygen in the bag and you will lose consciousness in seconds therefore you won't be awake for the hypercapnic alarm response. You just drift off to sleep and never wake up. I've suffered an enormous amount in my life. So much so that I've actually taken the time to research things like this for when I'm ready to go. I don't want a lifetime of pain to end in panic and terror. I even made a joke to myself about it. When things get bad I would say "time to go to Party City."
