Does my method traumatize people?

[Psi]

As some members are aware, my method is jumping from a tall bridge. I wonder what it will do to other people who witness my attempt. Will they get traumatized? Personally, I wouldn't mind if someone decided to die by suicide via jumping.

I honestly think any way you do it will traumatize people: first responders, your family and friends, if there are bystanders, if you're taken to the hospital, and even people who hear or read about your death. It's just how it is unfortunately.

If other people get upset then it's the fault of this anti-suicide society where people are denied options of more peaceful ways to die. And anyway if people get upset then it isn't like it's the concern of the person who has ctb, as they simply won't exist anymore, instead they'll be at peace. We all have our right to die and I believe that people should be able to choose the jumping method if they want to, it's their decision.

I think suicide is difficult to accept for a lot of people. I assume the way people cope with it would partially be the manner in which you left. Please try to find a time where less people will be around, you don't know their stores and their mental capacities to handle such a horrific site. I wish you the best but try to think of others!

Thanks for your comment. Would it help folks if I left a suicide note with an apology?

Thank you for your reply. It looks like I will have to switch the bridge again if I want to jump when there are only a few people around.

Thank you for your comment. I care about these people to begin with because I feel like they don't deserve the trauma.

I think if leaving a note and apology would make you feel better, then yes. The decision is just as personal as deciding to die. Once we're gone, we don't have a voice anymore and everyone will have their own perception/opinion regarding the event and our lives in general, and it won't matter to us.

How do you get over fear when you jump?

Truly depends on whoever sees it. People aren't all the same. Just to be sure, you're in no danger of dropping onto someone, right? That's a bit much. This society does indeed push people into such means, but there might also be kids around and just because society as a whole can't empathise doesn't mean we should blatantly pay back in coin. Do what you feel is right. But you might also want to take your own situation into account, if you don't immediately get the nerve up to jump they might prevent you from doing so.

Probably.

 

[Goldy]

yeah most likely

Thanks for your reply. I will definitely be careful not to fall on anyone.

Good luck with whichever way this goes.
