As I've discussed before, drowning is the method I've found comfort in despite how grisly it would be. I had a very upsetting evening relationship wise and started having a panic attack. I ended up taking long walk to a bay, listening to music, sipping an energy drink on the way and vibing nicely trying to relax. I wasn't planning to actually go through with anything. I just wanted to see the water and take comfort in knowing that if I really wanted to, I could come back and try there. I reached the bay but the water was fenced off and I didn't wanna have to walk around the fences so I just started walking on the bridge.
I was then hit with dread upon seeing how dark it was. It was darker than expected, the air was cold and the water would obviously be much much colder. Thinking about sinking into black, freezing water, was haunting. I got choked up a bit, and started walking back home. Honestly, I still see it as a last resort option, but I have much, much more pause now. I'm not necessary feeling more motivation to live, just more pain knowing that if I die this way, it would be miserable and having much less of a comforting feeling.
