Should I be trying to go head first? I want to envision how I should be jumping before I go ahead. The parking garage I found is tall but it could be taller.

I think head is the only reliable option. If you fall on your legs/back, you can survive, depending on the height. If you need some info, here is the thread:

I would imagine that the back is lethal from a certain height, with a break in the spine, and assuming it hits the floor first the back of the head should follow soon after, I think. I'm assuming the front would be less lethal and more likely to vegetable-ize you if you only end up smashing up your frontal lobe? but I'm not too sure.

This is a kind of a lottery.
Found one report recently.
Should be easily googled
"Survival following a vertical free fall from 300 feet: The crucial role of body position to impact surface"
Correction on the survive 300 free fall, that person whom is a rock climber didn't survive a free fall, that person tumble. Meaning she slip from a rock that 300 feet high below, and she bounce down the slope of the rock, then bounce again. So no, that not free fall. Free fall is when you go straight down, like when you jump from a skyscraper.
Here the research of the fall.
[[ The climbing distance was defined by the climbing rope which had been fixed at a defined length. The girl took the lead on the third pitch, to a total height of 300 feet (ca. 90 m). After securing the anchor at that height, the rope - which was lacking a security knot - slid through her harness. She then fell a total of 300 feet, with a first impact at 200 feet onto a flat rock surface, and a further fall for about 100 feet. ]]
yeah, No. Feel 100 ft then tumble down to another 100 feet then another 100 feet. That no free fall, LOL Free fall mean you go straight down the bottom with NOTHING stoping you.
Her fall was like this pic. That ain't free fall shit.
Anywho, OP. I wouldn't even jump unless the building is at skyscraper high of 2,000 feet.
I rather go find a bridge of 2,000 feet to jump.
Anything lower than that height I won't jump. You need to reach terminal velocity of 200km/hr in order to ensure death. And trust me, you want to be dead when it comes to jumping, unless you want to be paralyze for the remaining of your life.

DO NOT JUMP OFF OF A PARKING GARAGE!!!! no matter HOW tall it is it will probably NOT be enough to kill you instantly!!!! I know someone who jumped off a parking garage and they were a vegatable for days before they finally disconnected life support. DO NOT.
I am thinking about getting a black powder rifle sent to me and doing it that way (gun laws are very strict in Massachusetts so that's the only kind I could get). I would shoot myself in the head. Would that be better?
I read two news stories about people jumping from this particular garage who died. That's why I'm considering this one

I don't know. If you're anywhere near a parking garage, there's probably people who will hear the gunshot go off, plus, if they see anyone meandering around that particular garage, the police may be posted around there to ward off any other potential jumpers. I really think you should go with a different method, unless you can find someplace taller. I'm not going to tell you what to do, but I'm sorry your life has led you to feel like you have no other options... I know what that feels like. I hope the best decision comes to you, for you, when you need it. <3
