Confirmation

I've been feeling extremely hopeless and just tired of this miserable life of mine, this aching loneliness that never fades even with family or friends. There's a bridge near me, Liberty Memorial bridge and it says when I search up how high it is above the river that it's 280ish feet. Would that be enough to die when I jump from it?

In conclusion, I think this is reliable. If you are not going to bet on 98%, jumping is not your method.

It's still possible that jumping at an ideal location doesn't work. SN, N, hanging or other methods can fail too. This fact is indeed stirring unease. But still we are making large efforts to minimize the failure risk and potential harm. Survival cases get on the news because they are very rare. Please stay rational, inform yourself, and choose what you really want. Whatever you decide, I hope you find your peace.
