Attempt tonight

[situationalsui]

Planning to leap from a ferry tonight with a weighted backpack into a deep lake. Will take some benzos before—no time to find some opioids as I had hoped. My only fear is being found by search and rescue and revived due to the icy water's ability to preserve the brain at those temperatures. Hoping if I sink low enough that I might not be found, or that I can do it silently. Will update if I'm not successful, likely from one of those much dreaded psych wards. I know drowning isn't favoured method here, but I'm going to give it a try. Thanks for providing this space.

drowning only usually takes 3 mins to drown and to lose consciousness and between 10 -15 minutes to be completely dead

Hoe cold is the water, colder the better

I'm sorry it's so bad you have to do this. I read your story and it's horrible what you had to endure. You said you love life and it's really sad you feel like you have to go. Drowning seems like a very hard method and a lot of time for panic to kick in. Wish there was some easier method available to you. Wish you find peace.

That method sounds so horrible to me, but of course I very much understand having limited access to suicide methods and just wanting to be gone so badly. It certainly is such a hellish world that we exist in where people are denied access to more peaceful methods, but anyway I hope that you find the freedom that you are searching for. Best wishes.

A concern for others who might consider cold water drowning:

New research shows that cold water drowning victims can be brought back to life as long as two hours after they drown if the right steps are taken. That means even if the heart has stopped beating and the victims' brains aren't getting the oxygen we all need to stay alive.

Once the body detects an impending cold-water immersion, it attempts to thwart the cold and preserve blood flow to the brain and internal organs. The heart rate slows down, decreasing oxygen demand. And capillaries in the hands and feet begin to tighten, squeezing blood to the core of the body and brain, where it's needed most.

That response gives cold water drowning victims the equivalent of a second life — if rescuers know how to treat them. Research shows the key is to call 911 and start CPRimmediately, without trying to warm the body. Once victims reach the hospital, doctors can slowly warm and restore blood flow, often bringing the dead back to life.

With winter stubbornly hanging on throughout much of the country, there’s a small bit of comfort to be had in the midst of the cold — at least on the drowning rescue front. New research shows that cold water drowning victims can be brought back to life as long as two hours after they drown […]

Hello I will be with you in my thoughts tonight. I hope the water won't be too cold and that the water will cover you like a warm soft blanket. I'll see you soon on the opposite bank.

Alright, after reconnoitring to my spot this afternoon and some warm help from this site, I am heading back down to the lake/ferry to enter some very icy waters and complete my existence here on this plane. My one regret is no time for notes, but that's the way it goes. Thanks to all, and please if you pray, hold me in your kind and compassionate thoughts and prayers. I certainly wish you all the best in compassionately ending your own suffering.

I'm back. Watched the water from the boat and just didn't go this time. The cold, the speed of
the boat, just wasn't ready. Thanks everyone.
