How terrifying do you guys think, that jumping is?

[FadingDawn]

I've often wondered; SI would have be severe in those cases. I've thought about ctbing that way myself.

 

[NearlyIrrelevantCake]

Probably depends on how you feel about heights in general.

I can't even stand on a chair, terrified of heights. Jumping would scare me a lot more than some other people just because of my fear of heights.

 

[asthedayends00]

That's one of my options. 800ft bridge. I always liked heights and I think it'll be relaxing drinking for couple hours before I jump

hmmm...

i often thought about that same question

i believe that, its probly the fastest n also more terrifying SI's to overcome

its fast bcoz, its just a moment, a choice, you take that single step, thats it, youre falling down, no turn back, n it only takes afew seconds.

altho for me, the terror doesnt really come from the vertigo, or the fear of dying, or even taking the step

its about surviving

ah yeah, you dont wanna survive a fall like that, no you dont

so to mitigate that, ido pick the highest spot i could find, probably some touristy or public area, like a cliff, bridge, idk

somewhere really fucking hi tho

the terror comes from picturing myself fallinf off a bridge, smashing down the water, all my bones broken, organs perfurated, n *somehow* im still alive, agonzing through how long god knows till i either pass out or drown

BUT, that is still highly unlikely, if the altitude of the place is hi enough... chances are ill pass out w the shock of the impact

still...

 

[Leiot]

I'm very uncomfortable with heights so I think I'd be terrified.

 

[BeijaFlor]

agree w that sentiment, i think

That's one of my options. 800ft bridge. I always liked heights and I think it'll be relaxing drinking for couple hours before I jump

can agree w that sentiment, those last few seconds are always peaceful when i play it back on my mind...

you just need to fully surrender, n be certain of your choice

Is this what you wanna do as well?

 

[NegevChina]

SI might be very hard to overcome. Im considering this method. Thinking about taking benzos to calm down. Ive been to the place i want to jump from. I have no other option. Its 9th floor, 26m. Not sure it will be enough but its my only choice. Cant do train because i got no access to the rails any where reasonable.

 

[BeijaFlor]

im not certain yet...

i've been considering SN , partial hanging or jumping

almost giving up on SN, just bcoz i dont like how long it takes, n what exactly ill possibly be going through during such time

hanging is an option but, it takes lots of practice/planning to get it right, otherwise it can be very unpleasant

jumping is my last resort but, i've been giving it more n more thought lately

it was my initial plan, also

i just need it to be quick, painless, n w no ways to turn back so...

i've heard people can survive pretty much any fall but, if we're talking statistics, i guess the more acessible methods arent really fail proof anyway

with jumping tho, even if i survive, depending where it is n when, i'do still die anyway, it might just be excrutiatingly painful but...

so yeah, idk yet but... its definetly an option

ah... hmm....well, remember to try n fall head in first!

you dont wanna fall on your legs, thats a high survivability chance, w the extra trauma on top

altho... quite frankly, i've heard its abit hard to control ones direction when falling but... just thought ido mention it.

im thinking about rolling off the edge and that way ill be rolling in the air and at least have a chance to hit head first.

Yup those were my 3 and I have the same thoughts. I'd do SN if it was quick.. idk some say it's not that bad. Tried partial but have such a hard time with it and I def don't want to do full suspension. Plus where I'll jump is set in nature which is another perk on that option

How high is the jump? Mine is 800ft so it won't matter either way

I've seen interviews with jumpers who somehow survived their falls & all 100% regretted jumping the second they were they jumped.
Almost all said that it was terrifying & it seemed to last forever. And all we're freed from their suicidality from the experience. I personally can't fathom jumping, but I'm not judging anyone

 

[Life'sA6itch]

I think a person's fear of heights or lack thereof would play a massive role in this. Also very important is ensuring proper height for the attempt. I'm not fearful of heights but at least for me, I'd be far more fearful of jumping and surviving because I could not locate and access a high enough spot. Like another commenter said this is something you don't want to survive. I would have chosen this long ago if there was a location I could access with proper height.

I've only seen that one interview with Kevin Hines and that situation of his is much different than mine. I feel like those feeling would exist with hanging and SN as well

 

[FuneralCry]

To me personally it does sound like a terrifying method, I wish I had a painless poison method instead, I just want a painless death with no more suffering.

 

[alltoomuch2]

Yeah. He didn't really want to do it and was hoping someone would stop him.

 

[asthedayends00]

It's funny because so many people will say "oh I have seen interviews etc" but it's just that one guy with a completely unique situation.

 

[coffeebeany]

jumping terrifies me. It's not for me.

 

[trashhologram]

I couldn't do it. I'm a bit scared of heights, ironically because I get intrusive thoughts about jumping lol

 

[ijustwishtodie]

It sounds so scary and terrifying to me and I always worry about the rare chance of me surviving despite jumping from a super high place

 

[Z-A]

To me personally, if it was a high fatality rate, I'd go for that method regardless if i'm afraid of heights.

It's quick, but unreliable in most situations. Worst case scenario, that being your last attempt.

 

[graveface]

Almost all said that it was terrifying & it seemed to last forever.

Graduate psych degree here. One big reason something like this might seem to last forever is that in a quick, stressful situation where the outcome is perceived as inevitable and there is little or no perceived control, the person's experience goes forward to the outcome, so to speak, and their brain spends the interval waiting for the future to catch up with their forecasting of the outcome. Time seems much longer than it is.

 

[Shadowgeist]

I have thought about this option quite a bit. I like the fact that I know it's something I could do, make that decision and take that leap. But I'm also scared of surviving the fall. I don't want to jump over water and risk surviving the fall and drowning. And I can't find any places around me that have enough height to guarantee a fall over land. I also don't want to fall and hurt/kill anyone else. If I can find a spot 10 stories up and over concrete, I think it's the best way to go.

 

[vanillamilkshakes]

I think falling wouldn't be the worst part; it would be when you're on the edge, looking down at where you're going to hit the ground. Once you jump, things will become distorted (like when you're going fast on a rollercoaster), so you won't be able to tell what's going on.

tbh what i'm mostly concered about, is not the jump itself -- but the way down. But I guess, at that point, it's too late.

That's one of my options. 800ft bridge. I always liked heights and I think it'll be relaxing drinking for couple hours before I jump

Yeah, i've also thought about getting drunk before jumping, to allay the anxiety and fear, and dull the senses

 

[pilotviolin]

vertigo stopped me from ctbing that way years ago. if i considered this way again my main concern would be accessing the ledge and being sure you will die on impact, then after that its deciding how you would take drugs if you did because you need to be sober enough to get yourself there or have enough time to wait for things to kick in. sneaking through a building or climbing a crane drunk doesnt sound like a good idea. sites at least near me like cliffs and construction sites have cameras. i once visited a bridge i wanted to ctb near which has a high mortality rate for a lookout nearby but im just not confident in it with guessing tides or where to jump and getting into a head first position without hitting rocks too early. and with buildings you have the public to consider, you dont want to fall on a person or car.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

"The View From Halfway Down" poem from the episode of Bojack Horseman with the same name is what made me decide to never ever use jumping as a method except maybe as a total last resort if I really have no other options to CTB. It's also the reason I even found this site and took an interest in researching better methods.

 

[Apathy79]

I assume the SI is similar for most methods. It's less about the method and more about the result.

Jumping would be my method of choice for sure. I think I'd look forward to the fall rather than fear it. Makes the death itself an adventure. I picture doing a really dangerous ridge hike with cliffs on both sides and just not caring if I fall. Seems like a win-win situation.

800 ft is more than enough. Quite impossible to survive. Mine is only 85 ft, is very risky and have a survive rate. got to land head first.

 

[lnlybnny]

I've considered it as an option, but I think I might go with SN... Seems more peaceful, even though jumping seems ''easier'' in preparation since you just have to take one single action
