Method I've booked tickets to Beachy Head

[SecretDissociation]

I booked tickets. I booked tickets for Next Monday. I booked return tickets, I don't know if that's a mistake. I don't if booking a single would make me want to kill myself more. I don't know. I don't know if I'll wake up on Monday and cancel the trip. I don't know if I'll have the courage to throw myself off the cliff.

But I do know that I really really want to die. That I've this plan in my head for two years now. That I'm past the first hurdle of this plan. That now, all I need to do is overcome the survival instincts that beckons us to live. That when I jump all I need to do is not land on my feet. That I just need to have the back of my head hit the ground. That I can't survive this. That I don't want to survive this.

I read an article of an old man who's parachute failed, and he somehow survived with a broken hip and other broken bones. I just need to not do what he did. I need to find the highest point, jump and die.

You should be aware that, because Beachy Head is a well known suicide spot, it is quite likely that you will encounter people who are deliberately there to discourage people from jumping. They have no legal authority to physically prevent you from jumping (unless they are members of the police, in which case they might have). If you encounter them, you should be polite to them - they are doing what seems right to them, even if it may not seem right to you or to many of us - but you are entirely at liberty to ignore them.
I am aware of that skydiving incident. If it's the one I'm thinking of, the guy landed in a bush that broke his fall. He was very badly injured, but survived. That's not relevant to Beachy Head. It would be a hard landing.

You might want to take some substance before you head up there. Be as delirious as possible, therefore it can suppress your SI

Good luck. You'll strike a blow for freedom.

I am not in the UK but know that location looks out for potential jumpers. While it might be the best jumping spot in the world they actively work to keep you from doing it.

Thanks. I read about the local Chaplaincy patrolling the area. They previously failed to encourage a man to not jump. I have respect for them. They have a job to do and they do it, despite the hurt they must feel. I just plan on avoiding them and waving them off if I bump into them.

I didn't know a bush broke his fall. I just read that he fell and hit rocks. Thanks for letting me know, I'll try to avoid bushes.

I'm hoping that I left some quetiapine lying around and since I haven't taken them in a longtime, they should make me drowsy on the day. Thanks

There might have been more than one such incident. The one I remember definitely hit vegetation that acted as a cushion. It you hit anything solid at terminal velocity (which would be 120 mph if both your main and your reserve parachute don't open) that probably isn't survivable. If your jumper hit rocks and survived, then probably he had a partly inflated parachute. Could have been a downplane, in which case he would have been falling at "only" about 70 mph.

I also wish for death, all I personally hope for is to be gone but anyway I wish you the best in whatever you decide.

But there seems to be more than one base jumper with failing parachutes at beachy head! And yes! I know that little tune. A good ol' catchy 'rhyme'. You jump once you certainly won't jump again, lol.
