I think jumping is the only option

[soda_pressed]

I'm running out of viable methods to ctb- overdosing didn't work and neither did partial from a doorknob. I can't do n as it's too expensive for me, and I need to be gone within two weeks so sn wouldn't work either as I'd need to order stuff. SN is supposed to be painful as well. It seems jumping is the best option for me

I've spoken to a few people on here who've said that jumping isn't reliable enough, but I feel as it's the easiest method for me to do. I looked on lostallhope and it still seems to have a high success rate so I'm confident enough. I'm also confident I have what it takes to overcome the SI and jump.

To overcome SI I'm going do have to do it slightly fucked up. Apparently drinking makes it more likely to survive, but where I would plan to jump from is a car park onto concrete.
I've searched for past suicides in my area via the same way and none of the attempts survived when done from the top of a car park. The car park is about 9 storeys high and I've seen 6 is enough.
I'm also planning to take drugs as a further way to prepare.

If alcohol can have an effect on survival, do certain drugs as well? And do you think this has a good enough chance of working? I feel the risk of jumping is worth it

All I can say is I'm jealous. I wish I had the courage to jump. I work on the 46th floor of a building in Manhattan. In theory, suicide should be so easy. And yet, I'm still here, stuck looking into methods like N and SN.

If you mean an effect in helping, sure, there's plenty of drugs that will help. I've stood atop buildings before trying to get the courage to step off the edge and it's very scary. Something sedating would be useful. Weed can really freak some folks out so I can't say I'd suggest it. What do you have available or accessible besides alcohol?

Not at all. The higher the harder. 46 floors is a huge fall

it's so easily accessible though. I don't have to buy supplies or plan anything. I feel like freedom is so close, and yet so far.

 

[Fadingfast]

I'd be afraid to land on people if I was jumping in Manhattan. I've looked up all the famous suicide jumping locations so it's not like it will be a private affair for me but I think I should be clear of landing on anyone. I think of jumping so often... I had the time go to my location last night but I was mistaken on how high the bridge was and I fear failing the jump more than living in this hell.

You must be paid well. NY is expensive.

You could say I'm "successful." I graduated from an Ivy League school, and I'm currently working at a law firm as a paralegal. Most of my friends and acquaintances think I have plans for law school. The irony is that my most clearly thought-out plans for the future are not my plans for law school, but my plans for suicide.

 

[Its time its time]

It's just a school of thought that alcohol minimizes the extent of injuries. It's very subjective and I can be confident to say when your brain is smashed on the ground, all the alcohol in the world will not help a bit. So yeah very subjective to the type of injury, extent, pshycologial aspect, ect..

Just make sure that you don't land on a car,grass patch, human,tree or anything that can break your fall. 9 stories, fall will take 1 to 2 seconds. As much as possible, try to land on your head.

 

[Ruffian]

People are probably sick of hearing me post this, but my cousin jumped years ago. I thought it was because of medical reason, but I found out today it was depression. I wouldn't wish mental illness on my worst enemy.

I would definitely qualify for that group of people, weed freaks me out when I'm not even doing anything scary lol.

Man, being the same age is you, this makes me feel like such a bum. Granted I almost became a Navy SEAL when I was 20 and destroyed my body in the process, and through years of agonizing surgeries and failed recoveries I am now here. The walk of life sure is strange.

 

[So_Frustrating]

Gone within two weeks? Mind me asking why?

 

[omoidarui]

i'm having difficulty wording this without sounding like i'm encouraging ctb (which isn't always the answer, not for everyone).

i'm surprised inert gas isn't the most popular method. it's accessible, reliable, peaceful and leaves little time for panic. why are people resorting to gruesome methods instead, is there a drawback i don't know about? i'm worried i'm missing something

Not easily attained in some countries. Also certain gasses like helium - hard to find pure.
Not a very discreet method if you are staying with others, the tanks are pretty obvious.
Also it's a pretty complex method. Need the regulator and you must know how to make your own face bag.
Not cheap too.

 

[Longman]

I looked on lostallhope and it still seems to have a high success rate so I'm confident enough.

Maybe jumping from the 9th storey has a high success rate, but in case of failing it may become very hard to ctb again (if you become paralyzed or even if you go into a coma). On the opposite, "less reliable" SN method gives you a second chance nearly certainly.
Also, if you are lucky to die, you may not die instantly. Here is an article about girl who jumped from the roof of 16-storey building (it is in Russian, but its Google translation to English is rather good): https://kh.vgorode.ua/news/sobytyia...nashly-devushku-upavshuui-s-kryshy-16-etazhky
She died in hospital, and was conscious and able to speak at the time of ambulance arrival.

Weed, opiates, lsd, various uppers and ketamine. I don't usually get anxiety with weed especially when with alcohol

Gone within two weeks? Mind me asking why?

I'm moving out of my flat in a city where there's lots of opportunities to ctb and moving back in with my parents to a small town.
I just don't want my parents to be the ones to first see my body. Not that it makes it any better for anyone else but I can't let my parents find me

the first retailer i found supplied helium at 99% purity (or so they assured me)

the regulator is only absolutely necessary for small cylinders, otherwise it's only recommended if you're not using more than one. this comes from the PPH, although my edition is perhaps outdated

i wouldn't say preparation time is a significant con when weighed against the sense of fear other methods could create.

Edit: somehow ended up quoting twice

Yeah, making a lot of money doesn't necessarily make life worth living.

Jumping is reliable as long as you can find a place high enough. If you can find a place with over 10 floor, your odds will improve with each extra floor. The only difficulty is that nowadays most of the places that could kill you have measures to deter jumping.

Yes, I read something where there's a net under the Golden Gate Bridge now? And what about the reports of people surviving and saying they regretted it the minute they jumped? Is that just pro-life propaganda do you think? I always wonder about that. Especially because of the method I'm choosing, but that's a topic for another thread.

How does drinking make survival more likely, any more info on this? I'm talking bridge over water.

Confirmation bias at its finests.

Retailers have started to mix pure helium with oxygen due to this method being more popular for suicide. The usual mix now is 80%helium 20% oxygen. It's rare to find pure helium in party shops or places where it is readily available. I'd suggest to ask for paper work for proof. Some retailers claim to sell pure helium when it is actually not. More of an indemnity issue.

To my understanding you need a regulator to be able to control the right amount of air flow. I might be wrong, because I have only schemed through the posts on this method. To be honest I haven't read in depth.

It's the perfect painless method. Only con is that pure helium is really expensive, getting more difficult to source pure, very obvious (the tank is big) and needs certain level of research/planning to carry out well.

It's true that research indicates that most people that survived jumping claim to have regretted. I guess it's human psychology. Takes loads of commitment and courage to overcome your SI. Not an easy method, psychologically.

Research on alcohol can be found online. Just need to Google it.

I'd go with the opiates because they're relaxing and euphoric to most.

If you're planning on jumping from a hotel/apartment/condo balcony, make sure you jump out as far as possible. I always wonder about the possibility that you'd end up falling onto a balcony just a story or two below you, and end up surviving. ( You probably couldn't then jump from that balcony because you'd either be unconscious or too injured to move.)

I've thought of jumping from some rooftop bars near me, but unfortunately they all seem to be attached to hotels with balconies on them. When I look at the pictures of the hotels, I can never figure out if the roofs stick out any more than the balconies do and if I'd end up falling in front of the balconies if I slid off the roof. (I doubt I'd be able to get much more than a slide off after I have to climb a tall wall and then jump before somebody tackles me.)

Wow ..cut throat + jump . She must be in pain . Happy for. Her .

Jumping is one of the methods where you have to worry about SI the least, in my opinion. Once you jump, there's no turning back. With SN or N you have to buy a bottle, open it, take it, and possibly take some more a few hours later if your first dose didn't kill you.

Even with shooting yourself, you have to buy a gun, possibly wait for a few days to receive the gun (depending on your state), load the gun, and then actually shoot yourself.


The good news about jumping from an office building is that there wouldn't be any lower floor balconies that could break your fall. You'd be going the full 46 floors if you jumped.

The bad news is that you'd have to find some way to break a window. If there aren't any metal detectors in your workplace I guess you could bring a baseball bat to work. Hide it in either a briefcase or backpack. Then, when you get to floor 46, try smashing the window. I'm not 100% sure that a baseball bat would break the window, but if a baseball bat can't I'm not sure what else can.

Depression is a medical reason but I get what you were trying to say, that some other physical pain or problem was making his life horrible. And no, I'm not tired of hearing about this, in fact this is the first time I'm hearing you say this and I don't mind hearing it again. You say what you need to as many times as you need to. And in fact I like hearing about other ppl going through with it, and being brave enough, makes me feel braver. I'm sorry for you loss, it's never easy. Sending all the love

Jumping is my best option and I've tried it before. SI is an absolute bitch
